Just Peachy Cobbler



There's nothing quite like a warm, gooey peach cobbler on a summer day. The sweet, juicy peaches are perfectly complemented by the flaky, buttery crust. This recipe is simple to make and always a hit with family and friends.

Ingredients:

  • 6 cups peeled, sliced peaches

  • 1 cup sugar

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 cup butter, melted

  • 1/2 cup milk

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

  2. In a large bowl, combine peaches, sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt. Toss to coat.

  3. In a small bowl, whisk together butter, milk, and vanilla extract.

  4. Pour the batter over the fruit mixture.

  5. Bake in preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.

  6. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe peaches for the best flavor.

  • If you don't have all-purpose flour, you can use a combination of all-purpose and self-rising flour.

  • To make the crust even flakier, use cold butter.

  • If you want a more intense peach flavor, you can add a tablespoon or two of peach extract to the batter.

  • Serve the cobbler warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Variations:

  • You can use any type of fruit in this recipe, such as blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries.

  • To make a chocolate cobbler, use chocolate chips in the batter instead of sugar.

  • To make a lemon cobbler, add 1/2 cup of lemon juice and 1 tablespoon of lemon zest to the batter.
