Ingredients
Scale
5 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 5–6 large peaches)
½ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup light brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 Tablespoon fresh squeezed lemon juice
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
⅓ cup granulated sugar
⅓ cup light brown sugar, packed
1½ teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
6 Tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled and cut into cubes
¼ cup boiling water
3 Tablespoons unsalted butter (for skillet)
2 Tablespoons coarse sugar for sprinkling, optional
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Toss to coat the peaches evenly.
In another bowl, mix together the flour, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the chilled butter cubes to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the boiling water until just combined.
In a large skillet, melt the 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the peach mixture and cook for about 5 minutes until the peaches start to soften.
Drop spoonfuls of the cobbler topping over the peaches in the skillet.
Sprinkle coarse sugar on top if desired.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and cooked through.
Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
Notes
Serve with vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
Can substitute frozen peaches if fresh are not available.
Adjust sugar based on the sweetness of the peaches.
