Ingredients

Scale

Fruit

  • 2 cans (15 oz each) sliced peaches in syrup

Batter

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar, divided
  • 1 cup milk
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (1 stick), melted
  • 1½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt

Optional

  • Ground cinnamon or nutmeg, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 °F (175 °C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the cobbler evenly.
  2. Prepare Peaches: Open the sliced-peach cans and drain the peaches, reserving the syrup from one can for later use.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ½ cup of granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt to create a uniform dry mixture.
  4. Add Milk: Stir in the milk to the dry ingredients until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
  5. Butter the Dish: Pour the melted unsalted butter into a 9×13-inch baking dish, ensuring it covers the bottom evenly.
  6. Pour Batter: Pour the prepared batter over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not stir after pouring to allow the batter to create a crust with butter beneath.
  7. Add Peaches: Evenly spoon the drained peaches over the batter layer to distribute fruit across the cobbler.
  8. Drizzle Syrup Mixture: Mix the reserved peach syrup with the remaining ½ cup sugar, then drizzle this sweet syrup evenly over the peaches. Optionally, sprinkle ground cinnamon or nutmeg on top for added warm spice flavor.
  9. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbling with peach juices.
  10. Cool and Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool for a few minutes after baking. Serve warm, ideally accompanied by vanilla ice cream for a classic dessert experience.

Notes

  • Do not stir the batter after pouring over the melted butter; it helps develop a rich crust.
  • Using the reserved syrup mixed with sugar adds extra sweetness and moisture to the topping.
  • Sprinkling cinnamon or nutmeg is optional but adds a delightful warmth to the cobbler.
  • Best served warm, the cobbler pairs perfectly with vanilla ice cream.
  • You can use fresh peaches but adjust cooking time accordingly.
