Nothing beats a warm, homemade peach cobbler fresh out of the oven! This classic dessert is packed with sweet, juicy peaches, warm cinnamon flavors, and a perfectly golden, buttery topping. Whether you’re making it for a family gathering, holiday celebration, or just to satisfy your sweet tooth, this recipe is sure to impress.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 cups white granulated sugar, divided
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 large cans of peaches (one can drained, one can with juice)
- 1 stick butter
- 1 cup self-rising flour
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Peach Filling
In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar, 1 cup of white granulated sugar, cinnamon, cornstarch, and both cans of peaches (one with juice, one drained). Stir well and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for about 5 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly. Stir in the vanilla extract and remove from heat.
Step 2: Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Butter
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the stick of butter in a 9×13-inch baking dish and put it in the oven to melt while you prepare the batter.
Step 3: Make the Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour and the remaining 1 cup of white granulated sugar. Gradually add in 1 cup of water, stirring until you get a smooth batter.
Step 4: Assemble the Cobbler
Once the butter is melted, carefully remove the baking dish from the oven. Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter—do not stir. Then, spoon the peach mixture evenly on top of the batter. Again, do not stir; this will allow the cobbler to form its signature layers as it bakes.
Step 5: Bake to Perfection
Place the dish back in the oven and bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cobbler is bubbling at the edges.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy!
Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving. Enjoy it warm on its own, or take it to the next level by adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream!
Tips for the Best Peach Cobbler:
- For an extra crispy topping, sprinkle a little cinnamon sugar over the batter before baking.
- Swap canned peaches for fresh ones when in season for an even fresher taste.
- If you prefer a thicker filling, add an extra ½ tablespoon of cornstarch.
This homemade peach cobbler is the perfect balance of sweet, buttery, and comforting flavors. Whether you’re serving it at a dinner party or indulging in a late-night treat, it’s a dessert that never disappoints. Give this recipe a try and savor the warm, fruity goodness!
