Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
- Prepare the peaches: If using fresh peaches, peel, pit, and slice them. If using frozen, simply thaw and drain any excess liquid.
- Sweeten the peaches: In a large bowl, combine the peaches with sugar and a splash of lemon juice for added brightness.
- Make the topping: In another bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir in the milk and melted butter until just combined.
- Assemble the cobbler: Spread the peach mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish. Drop spoonfuls of the topping over the peaches, covering as much of the surface as possible.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peaches are bubbling around the edges.
- Cool and serve: Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Expert Tips and Tricks
- Choose the right peaches: Opt for ripe, in-season peaches for the best flavor and natural sweetness. If fresh peaches aren’t available, frozen ones are a great alternative.
- Prevent soggy toppings: To avoid a soggy cobbler, make sure to drain any excess liquid from frozen peaches before mixing them with sugar.
- Enhance the flavor: A touch of cinnamon or nutmeg in the peach mixture can add a warm, spicy note that complements the fruit beautifully.
Recipe Variations and Possible Substitutions
- Berry Cobbler: Swap peaches for blueberries, strawberries, or a mix of your favorite berries for a different fruity twist.
- Crumb Topping: For a crumbly topping, mix brown sugar and oats with the flour and butter for added texture and flavor.
- Gluten-Free Option: Use a gluten-free flour blend in place of all-purpose flour to make this cobbler suitable for those with gluten sensitivities.
Serving and Pairing Suggestions
Serve this peach cobbler warm with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream or freshly whipped cream. It also pairs wonderfully with a cup of black coffee, tea, or a glass of cold milk. For an extra special touch, drizzle a bit of caramel sauce over each serving.
Storage and Reheating Tips
- Refrigerate: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Freeze: Peach cobbler freezes well! Wrap individual portions in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months.
- Reheat: Warm individual servings in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds or reheat a larger portion in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes until heated through.
FAQs
Can I use canned peaches instead of fresh or frozen?
Yes, canned peaches can be used in a pinch. Be sure to drain them well to prevent excess moisture in your cobbler.
How do I prevent the topping from burning?
If the topping is browning too quickly, cover the cobbler loosely with aluminum foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.
Can I make the cobbler ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can assemble the cobbler a day in advance and refrigerate it until ready to bake.
What can I serve with peach cobbler?
Peach cobbler is delicious on its own, but it’s even better with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream, or a drizzle of caramel or chocolate sauce.
