For the Peaches:

  • 8 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 6–7 large peaches)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (for peaches)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch (optional, for thickening)

For the Batter:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (for batter)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled

Optional Topping:

  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar mixed with 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon for sprinkling on top

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or a deep ovenproof skillet.
  2. Prepare the Peaches: Combine peaches with sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Let sit for 10 minutes.
  3. Make the Batter: Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, milk, and melted butter until smooth.
  4. Assemble the Cobbler: Pour batter into the dish, top with peach mixture without stirring.
  5. Add Optional Topping: Sprinkle cinnamon-sugar mixture over the peaches.
  6. Bake: Bake for 40-45 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Cool and Serve: Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • If peaches are very ripe and sweet, you can reduce the sugar in the peach mixture.
  • Adjust the spices to your preference for a personalized touch.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated in the oven.
