Easy Peach Cobbler (Printable Version)

Juicy peaches nestled in a golden buttery crust, baked to bubbly perfection in just 35 minutes.

# Ingredients:

→ Peach Filling

01 - 4 cups fresh peaches, sliced (or 2 cans sliced peaches, drained)
02 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar

→ Batter

03 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
04 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
05 - 1 tablespoon baking powder
06 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
07 - 1 cup milk
08 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
09 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Topping

10 - 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

# Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even baking.
02 - For fresh peaches, toss sliced peaches with 1/2 cup sugar in a bowl and let sit for 10 minutes to release juices. If using canned peaches, simply drain them.
03 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, remaining 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt.
04 - Gradually pour milk and melted butter into the dry ingredients while stirring. Add vanilla extract and mix until just combined; a few lumps are fine.
05 - Pour the batter into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
06 - Distribute the peach mixture evenly over the batter. If desired, sprinkle cinnamon on top for additional flavor.
07 - Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and bubbly. Test with a toothpick inserted in the center - it should come out clean.
08 - Remove from oven and allow to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving to let the juices settle.

# Notes:

01 - This cobbler follows the easy method where the batter rises through the fruit during baking, creating a rustic dessert with a cake-like top and juicy fruit bottom.
