Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

1. Preheat:
   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2: Prepare the Peach Filling

1. Mix Peaches:
   • In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and cornstarch. Toss gently until the peaches are well coated.
2. Transfer to Baking Dish:
   • Pour the peach mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish or a similar-sized oven-safe dish.

Step 3: Make the Topping

1. Combine Dry Ingredients:
   • In another bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2. Add Wet Ingredients:
   • Pour in the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until just combined (the batter will be somewhat lumpy).

Step 4: Assemble the Cobbler

1. Top the Peaches:
   • Spoon the topping evenly over the peach filling. It doesn’t have to cover the filling completely; some gaps are fine.

Step 5: Bake

1. Bake:
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and cooked through. The filling should be bubbling.

Step 6: Serve

1. Cool Slightly:
   • Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool for about 10-15 minutes.
2. Enjoy:
   • Serve warm, preferably with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top.

Tips:

• Fresh or Frozen Peaches: If using frozen peaches, thaw and drain them before using.
• Spice It Up: You can add a pinch of allspice or ginger for extra flavor in the filling.
• Storage: Leftover peach cobbler can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.

Enjoy your delightful Peach Cobbler!
