Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Place ½ cup unsalted butter in a 9×13-inch baking dish and set it in the oven while it preheats. This melts the butter directly in the dish and ensures even distribution.

Step 2: Prepare the Peaches

In a large bowl, combine:

Sliced peaches

Granulated sugar

Brown sugar

Lemon juice

Vanilla extract

Cinnamon

Nutmeg (if using)

Pinch of salt

Stir gently until the peaches are coated and glossy. Set aside to allow the juices to release.

Step 3: Make the Batter

In another bowl, whisk together:

Flour

Sugar

Baking powder

Salt

Slowly whisk in the milk until smooth. The batter should be pourable but not thin.

Step 4: Assemble the Cobbler

Carefully remove the hot baking dish from the oven. The butter should be fully melted.

Pour the batter directly over the melted butter.
Do not stir.

Spoon the peach mixture evenly over the batter.
Again—do not stir.

As it bakes, the batter will rise up through the fruit and form a golden crust.

Step 5: Bake

Bake uncovered for 40–45 minutes, or until:

The top is golden brown

The edges are bubbling

The center is set
