Instructions

Prepare Peach Filling: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the sliced peaches, sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently until the peaches soften and the filling thickens.
Preheat Oven and Melt Butter: Preheat your oven to 375℉ (190℃). Evenly spread the cubed butter in a 9×9-inch baking dish and place it in the oven until the butter melts completely and becomes bubbly, about 5 minutes.
Prepare Cobbler Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and milk until the batter is smooth and no flour is visible. Do not overmix.
Assemble Cobbler: Pour the prepared batter gently over the melted butter in the baking dish, then evenly spoon the warm peach filling over the batter. Do not stir.
Bake Cobbler: Place the baking dish into the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes until the cobbler topping is fully set and golden brown on top.
Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving. For an extra indulgence, serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

For best results, use ripe but firm peaches to avoid overly mushy filling.
You can substitute fresh peaches with frozen peaches—just thaw and drain excess liquid before use.
Use unsalted butter to control salt content in the dessert.
Let the cobbler cool for 10-15 minutes after baking to allow the filling to set.
Leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated before serving.
