Ingredients:

  • 2 cans (15 oz each) sliced peaches in heavy syrup
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the 1/2 cup of unsalted butter in a 9x9 inch baking dish and place it in the oven while it preheats until the butter is completely melted.
  2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the canned peaches (drain one can, keep the syrup of the other), 1/4 cup sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Simmer for 3–5 minutes until the liquid thickens into a glossy glaze.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt. Slowly pour in the milk and vanilla extract, whisking until just combined, being careful not to over-mix.
  4. Remove the hot baking dish from the oven. Carefully pour the batter directly over the melted butter. Do not stir.
  5. Gently drop the peach segments and their thickened syrup over the top of the batter. Again, do not stir the layers.
  6. Bake for 40–45 minutes until the crust is a deep golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges.
  7. Allow the cobbler to sit for at least 15 minutes before serving to let the filling set.
