How to Make It

Follow these simple steps to create your peach cobbler.

Combine

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
   This ensures even baking and a golden top.

Mix

2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon.
   Pour the peach mixture into a greased baking dish.

Whisk

3. In another bowl, combine flour, milk, melted butter, baking powder, and salt until smooth.
   This creates the batter that will complement the peaches.

Pour

4. Pour the batter over the peaches in the baking dish.
   Spread evenly for uniform baking.

Bake

5. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the top is golden and firm.
   A toothpick should come out clean from the center.

Serve

6. Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of ice cream.
   This adds a creamy texture contrasting the warm cobbler.
