Instructions
1
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2
In a medium bowl, toss sliced peaches with granulated sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Set aside.
3
Place the 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a 10-inch cast iron skillet and melt over low heat, swirling to coat the bottom.
4
Remove skillet from heat. Pour the peach mixture into the skillet and spread evenly.
5
In another bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in milk and melted butter until a smooth batter forms.
6
Spoon the batter over the peaches in large dollops, covering most of the surface.
7
Place skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly.
8
Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream, if desired.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, you can use frozen peaches. Thaw and drain them first, then toss with sugar and cornstarch. The filling may be slightly juicier, but the cobbler will still be delicious.
Cornstarch is the key thickener. Be sure to mix it well with the peaches so there are no lumps. If the filling still seems runny after baking, let it rest; it will thicken as it cools.
You can assemble the cobbler a few hours ahead and keep it in the refrigerator. Bake just before serving for the freshest result. The topping is best eaten the day it is made.
Vanilla ice cream is classic, but whipped cream, crème fraîche, or a drizzle of heavy cream also pair wonderfully. A cup of coffee or tea on the side is perfect.
Absolutely. This recipe works well with nectarines, plums, berries, or a mix. Adjust sugar depending on the fruit's sweetness. The method remains the same.
