Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 6 cups peeled, sliced peaches fresh or frozen
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar adjust to taste
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar packed
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
For the Topping
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1/2 cup cold butter cut into cubes
  • 1/4 cup milk

Equipment

  • 9x13-inch baking dish
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Toss gently to coat the peaches evenly.
  3. Pour the peach mixture into a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour and brown sugar for the topping.
  5. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Pour in the milk and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Spoon the topping evenly over the peach mixture in the baking dish.
  8. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  9. Let the cobbler cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream.

Notes

You can use canned peaches if fresh are not available, but drain them well. For a richer flavor, you can add a pinch of nutmeg to the filling.
