Ingredients

The following ingredients have 9 Servings
  • 1 stick unsalted butter
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups granulated sugar (divided)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 4 cups peaches (peeled and sliced (about 6-7 medium-sized peaches))
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (fresh)
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • pinch of ground nutmeg (optional)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Cut the butter up into cubes and add to a 10-inch cast-iron skillet or a two and one-half quart baking dish. Place the dish in the oven and let the butter melt. Watch it carefully; this will only take a few seconds.
  • When the butter is melted, remove the baking dish from the oven and set aside.
  • Add the peaches, one cup of sugar, and the lemon juice to a medium-sized saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir constantly and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and cook and stir for about a minute more or until the sugar has dissolved. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside.
  • Combine the flour, one cup of sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium-sized bowl. Add the milk and stir until all ingredients are combined. Do not overmix.
  • Pour the batter over the melted butter. Do NOT stir.
  • Use a spoon and add the peaches and juice to the batter and melted butter. Do NOT stir.
  • Optional: top with the nutmeg and cinnamon if using.
  • Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and bubbly. If you use a larger baking dish it will take less time, and a smaller baking dish might take a little more time.
  • Serve the peach cobbler warm or cold. If desired, top it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream before serving.
