Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and set it aside.

2. Make the Peach Filling

In a large bowl, toss together:

• Sliced peaches
• Sugar
• Lemon juice
• Cinnamon
• Salt
• Cornstarch (if using)
  Pour the peach mixture into the prepared baking dish.

3. Mix the Cobbler Topping

In a medium bowl, whisk together:

• Flour
• Sugar
• Baking powder
• Salt
  Stir in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract just until combined.

4. Assemble the Cobbler

Spoon or pour the topping mixture evenly over the peach filling.
It doesn’t need to cover the fruit completely—a few gaps are perfect for a rustic look.

5. Bake

Place in the oven and bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling at the edges.
A toothpick inserted into the topping should come out clean.

6. Cool and Serve

Let the cobbler cool for 10–15 minutes to set slightly.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Tips for Success

• No fresh peaches? Use frozen (thawed and drained) or canned (drained and lightly sweetened) in a pinch.
• Add cornstarch if your peaches are very juicy and you prefer a thicker filling.
• Don’t overmix the topping—keep it light and fluffy for the best texture.
• Bake on a sheet pan if you’re worried about drips in the oven.
