Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need

• 5 cups fresh peaches – peeled, pitted, and sliced
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 cup whole milk

• 9-inch pie dish

The sweet tanginess of the fresh peaches turns irresistibly delicious with sugar and cinnamon. The crust, a mixture of flour, butter, and milk, settles down to form a delightful golden crust that’s perfectly baked!
Watch out for the peaches – it’s best to use ripe, but firm peaches. If you can’t find fresh peaches, you can even use canned peaches as a substitute.

How To Make Classic Peach Cobbler

1. First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter your pie dish well to avoid any stickiness.
2. In a large bowl, mix together the peaches, sugar, and cinnamon until well combined. Set aside to let the juices mix.
3. In another bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the milk just until combined.
4. Pour the batter over the melted butter in the dish, but do not stir. Then evenly distribute the peach mixture over the batter.
5. Bake until golden brown and bubbling, around 40-45 minutes. Serve it hot out of the oven!

Tips For The Best Results

• Always use ripe, fresh peaches for a truly authentic taste.
• Don’t over mix your batter; it can turn the crust too stiff.

Storage Tips

• Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days in the fridge.
• You can reheat in an oven at 350 F for about 10 minutes or until warmed through.
