A simple and comforting peach cobbler featuring juicy peaches and a crunchy cinnamon sugar crust, perfect for late summer and early fall gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 medium fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (or 4 cups frozen peaches, thawed)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (150g), divided
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar (50g)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (125g)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup whole milk (180ml), or dairy-free substitute like almond or oat milk
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (85g), melted
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon, divided
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, toss the peeled and sliced peaches with 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, a pinch of cinnamon, and nutmeg if using. Let sit for about 10 minutes to macerate.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and remaining 1/4 cup (50g) sugar. Add the milk and melted butter, stirring just until combined. The batter will be slightly thick but pourable.
  4. Pour the peach mixture (including juices) into a 9×9-inch baking dish, spreading evenly. Spoon the batter over the peaches; it will spread during baking.
  5. In a small bowl, mix the remaining sugar (about 2 tablespoons) with 2 teaspoons cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over the batter to create the cinnamon sugar crust.
  6. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the top is golden brown and crispy and the peach juices are bubbling around the edges. Tent loosely with foil if the crust browns too fast.
  7. Let the cobbler cool slightly for about 10 minutes before serving to allow the juices to thicken.

Notes

For best texture, use firm ripe peaches or thaw and drain frozen peaches well to avoid soggy crust. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top of batter, not mixed in, for a crunchy crust. Overmixing batter can lead to a dense crust. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
