Easy Peach Cobbler Recipe

Easy Peach Cobbler Recipe

D. Rattray
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.

Wonderful recipe!, Member Mystyklrvn

Obviously for those who did not give a good review either A... did not make it right, or B... have never eaten true southern peach cobbler! The only thing I've altered is I used a 13x9 inch glass baking dish. The recipe comes out perfect! My grandmother used to have a recipe that was identical to this one, but over time, forgot the recipe(she's 87 years old!). Being raised in a southern home, I can assure you... this is as perfect as it gets! Thanks Joan for giving me back a piece of my history!
