Peach Cobbler with Fresh Peaches
This fresh peach cobbler is made with juicy, sliced peaches and topped with a soft, buttery cobbler topping that bakes up golden on top. It’s an easy, from-scratch Southern dessert that’s perfect for summer and comes together with simple pantry ingredients.
Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 10-12 small fresh peaches
- 1 cup sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Spray 3qt casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- Pit and thinly slice the peaches, adding them to a large mixing bowl.
- Add 2 tbsp of sugar to the peaches (if ripe, 2 tbsp is plenty - if not ripe, add a little more)
- Mix the peaches with the sugar until they are coated. Add peach mixture to the casserole dish and spread them out evenly.
- Melt the butter and allow it to cool slightly.
- Mix together melted butter, remaining sugar, vanilla, flour, baking powder, and salt until it is thoroughly mixed.
- Scoop spoonfuls of the batter on to the top of the peaches and spread with your fingers. You'll want to push down and smooth out to cover the peaches.
- Bake for 30 minutes.
- Turn on the broiler and broil for 1-2 minutes (KEEPING A CLOSE EYE TO AVOID BURNING!) to allow the top to brown and become crispy.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool completely. I know it's hard to wait, but if you do, it becomes the perfect consistency!
Notes
- Let it cool completely: This helps the filling set and the topping firm up so it’s not runny when you serve it.
- Adjust for peach sweetness: Taste your peaches first. If they aren’t very sweet, add a little extra sugar.
- If your peaches are extra juicy: Add 1 tablespoon cornstarch when mixing with sugar to help thicken the filling.
- Watch the broiler closely: The topping can go from golden to burnt fast. Don’t walk away.
- Texture note: This cobbler is soft and scoopable, not firm like pie.
- Serving suggestion: Great served warm or at room temperature with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
