Ingredients
  

🍑 Fruit Filling
  • 1 29 oz can sliced peaches in syrup or juice (or 4 cups fresh/frozen peaches)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ tsp cinnamon optional
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
🧁 Cobbler Batter
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup unsalted butter 1 stick, melted

Method
 

Step 1: Preheat & Prepare Dish
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Pour melted butter into a 9×9-inch or 8×8-inch baking dish.
Step 2: Mix the Batter
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. Stir in milk and vanilla until smooth (a few lumps are okay).
Step 3: Add Peaches
  1. If using canned peaches, pour into a bowl with the juice/syrup. Add sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Stir to combine.
  2. If using fresh peaches, peel and slice them first. Cook in a pan for 5–10 minutes with a bit of sugar and water if needed.
Step 4: Assemble the Cobbler
  1. Pour batter evenly over the melted butter—do not stir.
  2. Spoon peaches (with syrup/juices) over the batter—again, do not stir.
Step 5: Bake
  1. Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly around the edges.
  2. Let cool slightly before serving to allow juices to thicken.
