Easy Peach Cobbler Recipe

Easy Peach Cobbler Recipe

I used fresh peaches in this recipe, but fresh ripe nectarines or drained canned peaches will work as well. Serve this cobbler with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or drizzle with a little cream.

Ingredients:

  • 1 stick (4 ounces) butter, melted
  • 1 cup plus 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, divided
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 to 4 ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Preparation:

Heat oven to 375°.

Pour melted butter into a 2-quart baking dish (11x7 or 8-inch square). In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of the sugar, the flour, baking powder, and salt; stir to blend. Stir in the milk and vanilla until blended. Pour the batter over the melted butter. Toss the peaches with the remaining 3 tablespoons of sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. Arrange the peach slices over the batter. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean. The top will be browned and the cake will begin to pull away from the sides of the pan. Serve warm with a little heavy cream, whipped topping, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Serves 6.

RECIPE IS CORRECTMay 09, 2009By VetsWife01
"This is a favorite recipe that both my dh's and my grandmothers used to make. The altitude may be causing some problems for some of you - I don't know much about that. I do know that we make this at our altitude of about 1800 ft and it does great. Have also made it in the mountains some at around 8000 ft and it's done fine in the dutch oven. It really does take 1 stick of butter (yes, nannyboy, 1 stick acutally is 4 oz, not 8!). Our recipe varies slightly in that we only put 1 1/2 tsp Baking Powder and 1/2 cup milk. We also sprinkle 1/2 cup Brown Sugar on top of the peaches and a 1/2 tsp of Nutmeg. We bake for 45 minutes at 375 -- this is YUMMY! I use this same recipe for berry cobblers - using 2 cups juice or mashed berries, 2 cups whole berries, and sugar added to berries if necessary for appropriate sweetness. I would never bother with any other cobbler recipe -- this one is the best tasting and the simplest to make as far as I'm concerned."
