How to Make It

Start making your delicious peach cobbler with these simple steps:

Mix Dough

In a bowl, mix the flour with sugar and butter until you obtain a dough. Make sure the butter is softened for easy mixing.

Slice Peaches

Slice your peaches carefully to create even pieces.

Prepare Dish

Place the sliced peaches into a dish that fits in your Instant Pot. Add the dough on top, spreading it out as best as you can—this doesn’t have to look perfect!

Cover and Add Water

Cover the dish with foil to contain the moisture. Pour 1 cup of water into the Instant Pot and place a trivet inside.

Cook

Set the dish on the trivet and cook at high pressure for 10 minutes. When the cooking time ends, wait for a natural pressure release before opening the lid.

Serve

Once done, open the lid carefully and dish out the cobbler. Sprinkle with nutmeg and cinnamon, and serve warm.

How to Store It

Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Freezer: No, the texture may suffer after freezing.
Reheat: Microwave for 30-60 seconds or until warmed through.

Tips for Best Results

• Use ripe peaches for the best flavor and sweetness in your cobbler.
• Be careful not to overmix the dough; a few lumps are okay for a tender texture.
• Adjust the spices to your liking for a customized flavor profile.
• Always cover your dish tightly with foil to prevent excess moisture.

Serving Suggestions

• Pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat.
• Serve alongside a dollop of whipped cream for extra creaminess.
• Enjoy with a hot cup of coffee or tea for a delightful afternoon snack.
