The Best Peach Cobbler Recipe Ever + Video
This is the Best Peach Cobbler Recipe you’ll ever try! Fresh sweet peaches baked with a crispy cobbler topping is the perfect summer dessert.
Ingredients
- 8 fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced into thin wedges
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat oven to 400°F if using a dark or glass pan, or 425°F if using a light metal baking dish.
- Make the Peach Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine sliced peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Toss gently until evenly coated.
- Parbake the Peaches: Pour the peach mixture into a 2-quart baking dish. Bake for 10 minutes while you prepare the topping.
- Prepare the Topping: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, both sugars, baking powder, and salt. Using your fingertips or a pastry blender, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add boiling water and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Assemble the Cobbler: Remove the dish from the oven and drop spoonfuls of the topping over the warm peaches. Dont worry about covering the whole surface. You want those peaches to peek through.
- Finish and Bake: Sprinkle the entire cobbler with the remaining sugar. Place the baking dish on a rimmed baking sheet to catch any drips. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly around the edges.
- Serve: Let cool slightly. Serve warm with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
Notes
Make-Ahead Tips: You can slice and sugar the peaches a few hours in advance and store them in the fridge. Assemble the topping just before baking.
Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven until warmed through.
Freezing Instructions: Freeze fully baked and cooled cobbler in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat at 350°F until warmed through.
Customization Ideas: Add a handful of blueberries or raspberries to the peach filling for a fun twist. For a crunchier topping, sprinkle coarse sugar over the topping before baking. Serve with cinnamon ice cream for a spicy-sweet finish.
