Ingredients:
For the Peach Filling:
- 6-8 ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
- Pinch of salt
For the Cobbler Topping:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
Instructions:
- Prepare the Peach Filling:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches, sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Mix well and set aside for about 20 minutes to allow the peaches to release their juices.
- Prepare the Cobbler Topping:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the cold butter pieces to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour in the buttermilk and stir just until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
- Assemble and Bake:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Pour the peach mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Drop spoonfuls of the cobbler dough over the peaches, distributing it as evenly as possible.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the cobbler topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly and thickened.
- Remove from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve the peach cobbler warm, preferably with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
- Store any leftovers in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
