Ingredients
- 6 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or similar-sized ovenproof dish.
- Prepare the Peaches: In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Toss gently to coat the peaches evenly. Transfer the peach mixture to the prepared baking dish.
- Make the Crumble Topping: In another bowl, mix the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Add the cold, cubed butter and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Assemble the Cobbler: Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the peach mixture in the baking dish.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Expert Tips
- Peach Selection: Use ripe but firm peaches for the best texture and flavor. If fresh peaches are not available, you can use frozen peaches, but thaw and drain them first.
- Butter Consistency: Ensure the butter is cold when making the crumble topping. This helps create a crispy, crumbly texture.
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
