Recipe
Ingredients:
– 4 cups fresh or canned peaches, sliced
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1 cup milk
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 1 tablespoon baking powder
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). If using fresh peaches, peel and slice them. If using canned peaches, drain them well and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches with 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Toss to coat the peaches evenly and let them sit for about 10-15 minutes to draw out the juices.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining sugar, baking powder, and salt. Gradually stir in the milk and melted butter until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Pour the batter into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Carefully spoon the peach mixture over the batter, making sure to pour the juices on top as well.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the cobbler is golden brown and the topping is set. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
- Allow the cobbler to cool for a few minutes before serving. It’s best served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Grandmas Peach Cobbler is a nostalgic and comforting dessert that many cherish.
Extra Tips:
For an added depth of flavor, consider mixing in a tablespoon of bourbon or adding a pinch of nutmeg to the peach filling.
