Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures the cobbler bakes evenly and develops a golden crust.
Step 2: Melt the Butter
Place the butter in your baking dish and put it in the oven for a few minutes until completely melted. Once melted, remove the dish from the oven and set it aside.
Do not stir anything into the butter.
Step 3: Prepare the Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine:
-
Flour
-
Sugar
-
Baking powder
-
Salt
Mix the dry ingredients together.
Slowly add the milk and vanilla extract (if using). Stir until a smooth batter forms.
Step 4: Pour Batter into the Dish
Carefully pour the batter over the melted butter in the baking dish.
Important: Do not stir the butter and batter together. The layers will create the cobbler texture during baking.
Step 5: Add the Peaches
Spread the sliced peaches evenly over the batter. If using canned peaches, drain them first.
Sprinkle cinnamon over the peaches if desired.
Again, do not stir.
Step 6: Bake the Cobbler
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven.
Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbling.
Step 7: Cool and Serve
Remove the cobbler from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes.
Serve warm for the best flavor.

Tips for Best Results
-
Use ripe peaches for the best flavor.
-
Do not mix the layers; the batter rises during baking to form the crust.
-
If using frozen peaches, thaw and drain them first.
-
For extra flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg along with the cinnamon.
Storage Instructions
Store leftover cobbler in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
