Make a simple, warm Southern peach cobbler with a buttery topping. This recipe works well with fresh or canned peaches for a quick dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups fresh or canned sliced peaches (drained if canned)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (adjust for sweetness of peaches)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1/2 cup milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the peaches, 1 cup sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Pour this mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Cut the cold butter pieces into the dry ingredients using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Stir the milk into the crumb mixture until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of the topping mixture evenly over the peach filling.
  7. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  8. Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving warm, preferably with vanilla ice cream.

Notes

  • If you use canned peaches, reduce the added sugar slightly, as canned fruit is often pre-sweetened.
  • For a richer topping flavor, use buttermilk instead of regular milk.
  • You can substitute peaches with equal amounts of blackberries or blueberries for a different fruit cobbler.
