Peach Cobbler is a classic, comforting dessert that’s perfect for any occasion. With its sweet, juicy peach filling and buttery, biscuit-like topping, it’s sure to be a hit. Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for making a homemade peach cobbler:

Ingredients:

For the Peach Filling:

• 6 cups fresh or frozen peaches (about 4-5 large peaches), peeled and sliced
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste depending on the sweetness of the peaches)
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)

For the Cobbler Topping:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into cubes
• 1/2 cup milk (whole milk or buttermilk works well)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Serving:

• Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream (optional)

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Peach Filling

1. Preheat Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare Peaches:
   • If using fresh peaches, peel and slice them. If using frozen, allow them to thaw and drain any excess liquid.
3. Make the Filling:
   • In a large bowl, toss the peaches with the sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch (if using), cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir until the peaches are evenly coated. The cornstarch helps to thicken the juices from the peaches while baking.
4. Transfer to Baking Dish:
   • Pour the peach mixture into a 9×13-inch baking dish or an 8×8-inch square dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 2: Make the Cobbler Topping

1. Mix Dry Ingredients:
   • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2. Cut in the Butter:
   • Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Add Wet Ingredients:
   • Pour in the milk and vanilla extract, stirring just until the dough comes together. The mixture will be thick and biscuit-like.
