How to Make It

Here’s how to whip up this delicious cobbler with ease:

1. Preheat

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures the cobbler bakes evenly and comes out perfectly golden and bubbly.

2. Prepare Peaches

Open the cans of sliced peaches and drain them, but keep the syrup from one can. Set the peaches aside.

3. Mix Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

4. Combine Wet and Dry

Pour in the milk and stir until the batter is smooth with no lumps.

5. Add Butter

Pour the melted butter into a 9×13-inch baking dish. Then pour the batter over the melted butter without stirring.

6. Layer Peaches

Spoon the drained peaches evenly over the batter.

7. Drizzle Syrup

Take the reserved syrup, mix it with the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar, and drizzle it over the top of the peaches.

8. Sprinkle Spices

If desired, sprinkle a bit of ground cinnamon or nutmeg on top.

9. Bake

Place the cobbler in your preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.

10. Cool and Serve

Allow the cobbler to cool for a few minutes before serving, ideally with vanilla ice cream.

How to Store It

Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
Freezer: Yes, for up to 3 months; thaw before reheating.
