Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 8 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 8-10 peaches)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/2 cup boiling water

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Toss gently to coat the peaches evenly. Set aside.
  3. In another large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Pour the boiling water over the flour mixture and stir until just combined. The dough will be sticky.
  5. Pour the peach mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Drop spoonfuls of the dough evenly over the peaches. Spread the dough gently with a spatula to cover as much of the peaches as possible.
  6. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly.
  7. Allow the cobbler to cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Notes

Use ripe but firm peaches for the best texture. Ensure butter is cold for a flaky crust. Adjust spices to taste and consider adding ginger or cardamom for a unique twist. The peach filling can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated.
