Description
This Peach Cobbler recipe is a delightful Southern dessert that features fresh, juicy peaches topped with a buttery, crumbly crust. Perfect for summer or any occasion, it’s easy to prepare and best enjoyed warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Ingredients
Peaches
- 6 large or 7 medium peaches, thinly sliced
- 1½ teaspoons fresh lemon juice
Topping
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup cane sugar
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup melted coconut oil or unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
To Serve
- Vanilla ice cream
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with coconut oil to prevent sticking and aid in browning.
- Prepare the Peaches: Arrange the thinly sliced peaches evenly at the bottom of the baking dish. Drizzle fresh lemon juice over them to brighten the flavor and prevent browning.
- Make the Topping: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Pour in melted coconut oil or butter and vanilla extract, mixing until a crumbly dough forms.
- Assemble the Cobbler: Sprinkle the crumbly topping evenly over the peach layer, ensuring complete coverage for an even bake and crispy crust.
- Bake: Place the cobbler in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peaches are bubbling and juicy.
- Serve: Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a creamy, sweet contrast.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm peaches for best texture and flavor. If fresh peaches are unavailable, frozen peaches (thawed and drained) work well.
- For a richer topping, substitute coconut oil with unsalted butter.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat in the oven for optimal texture.
- Serve with whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce to elevate the sweetness.
- Experiment by adding a pinch of nutmeg or swapping cinnamon for cardamom in the topping for a unique flavor twist.
