How to Make It

Let’s dive into the steps for making your peach cobbler.

Preheat

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures an even bake for your cobbler.

Combine

In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish.

Whisk

In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in milk and melted butter until just combined.

Pour

Pour the batter over the peach mixture in the baking dish, ensuring it covers the top evenly.

Bake

Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean. This will give you a beautiful finish and delicious flavor.

Serve

Serve hot with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, allowing the melting ice cream to swirl into the warm cobbler.

How to Store It

Fridge: 3-4 days in an airtight container.
Freezer: yes, but for best texture, consume fresh.
Reheat: microwave for 30-60 seconds or re-bake at 350°F for 10 minutes.

Tips for Best Results

• Use ripe but firm peaches to enhance flavor and texture.
• Let the cobbler cool for a few minutes before serving for better slicing.
• Add a sprinkle of extra cinnamon on top before baking for a special touch.
• For added crunch, top with nuts or oats in the batter mixture.

Serving Suggestions
