How to Make It

Follow these simple steps to create your delicious Peach Cobbler.

Preheat

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
This ensures that your cobbler bakes evenly and thoroughly.

Combine

Combine the peaches, sugar, and cinnamon in a large bowl.
Mix well, and then pour the mixture into a greased baking dish.

Whisk

Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract in another bowl until smooth.
Make sure the batter is lump-free for the best texture.

Pour

Pour the batter over the peaches in the baking dish.
Don’t worry if it doesn’t cover the fruit completely; it will rise as it bakes.

Bake

Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until golden brown.
Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean.

Serve

Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
This creates a delightful contrast between warm cobbler and cold ice cream.
