Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 6 ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for peaches)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for topping)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup melted butter (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt 1/2 cup butter over medium heat. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the butter turns golden brown and smells nutty. Remove from heat immediately.
  3. In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Toss to coat.
  4. Pour the browned butter over the peach mixture and stir gently to combine. Pour the peach mixture into a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  5. In another bowl, whisk together flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  6. Add milk and 1/4 cup melted butter to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Spoon the batter over the peach mixture in the baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  8. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peaches are bubbly.
  9. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the peach mixture.
  • Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
  • This cobbler can be made with fresh or frozen peaches. If using frozen, do not thaw them before adding to the dish.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
