At the heart of Grandma’s Famous Peach Cobbler are the fresh peaches. They are the star of the show, lending their sweet, juicy flavor to the dish. When selecting peaches for your cobbler, it’s essential to choose the right variety. Yellow peaches are typically the best choice, as they are juicy and sweet, making them perfect for baking.

Ingredients
  

4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced

1 cup granulated sugar, divided

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

1 cup milk

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)

Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.

    Prepare the Peaches: In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, ½ cup of sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Toss until the peaches are well-coated. If you prefer a thicker filling, sprinkle the optional cornstarch over the peaches and mix well.

      Make the Batter: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining ½ cup of sugar, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the milk and melted butter to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. The batter will be somewhat lumpy; do not overmix!

        Assemble the Cobbler: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish. Spoon the peach mixture over the batter, ensuring an even distribution. Do NOT stir; the batter will rise around the peaches while baking.

          Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

            Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and allow the cobbler to cool for about 10-15 minutes. Serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream on top for an extra treat!
