Grandma’s Peach Cobbler

There’s something special about an old-fashioned peach cobbler—the sweet peaches bubbling underneath a golden, buttery topping, just like Grandma used to make. This easy recipe is comforting, nostalgic, and absolutely delicious served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. 🍨

📝 Ingredients

For the Peach Filling

• 6 cups fresh or canned sliced peaches
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour or cornstarch
• Pinch of salt

For the Cobbler Topping

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
• ½ cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Prepare the peaches: In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, flour, and salt. Stir gently until the peaches are evenly coated.
3. Make the topping: In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Add the melted butter, milk, and vanilla. Stir just until combined. Don’t overmix.
4. Assemble: Spread the peach mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Spoon the cobbler batter over the peaches, spreading it gently across the top.
5. Bake: Bake for 40–50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges.
6. Cool slightly: Let the cobbler rest for about 10–15 minutes before serving. This allows the peach filling to thicken slightly.
7. Serve: Spoon warm peach cobbler into bowls and serve with vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
