Ingredients
For the Cobbler
- 1 can (15 ounces) sliced peaches in syrup
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
For Serving (Optional)
- Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to reach temperature to ensure even baking.
- Prepare the baking dish: Pour the melted butter into a 9×9-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
- Make the batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the milk and stir just until combined, forming a smooth batter.
- Assemble the cobbler: Pour the batter over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not stir to allow the batter to rise evenly.
- Add the peaches: Spoon the canned peaches along with their syrup evenly over the batter, again without stirring. If desired, sprinkle the ground cinnamon on top for extra flavor.
- Bake the cobbler: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and serve: Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy it warm topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.
Notes
- This recipe works well with fresh or frozen peaches as well; toss them with a little sugar before adding.
- For enhanced flavor, add a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of nutmeg to the batter.
- Do not stir the batter and peaches once assembled to allow proper layering and baking.
