Buttery Vanilla Peach Cobbler with Sweet Crust

How to make Buttery Vanilla Peach Cobbler with Sweet Crust

Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch or similar-sized baking dish.

Step 2: In a mixing bowl, combine sliced peaches, 1 cup sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon (if using). Let sit for 10 minutes to macerate.

Step 3: In another bowl, whisk together flour, 1 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in milk until just combined, then mix in the melted butter.

Step 4: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Spoon the peach mixture evenly over the batter—do not stir.

Step 5: Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the crust comes out clean.

Step 6: Let cool slightly before serving. Top with vanilla ice cream and an extra drizzle of caramel, if desired.

Recipe Variations and Possible Substitutions

• Fruit Swap: Use nectarines, plums, or a mix of berries and peaches.
• Spice Twist: Add nutmeg or cardamom along with cinnamon for deeper flavor.
• Crust Option: Replace half the flour with cornmeal for a rustic texture.
• Sweetness Control: Reduce sugar if your peaches are very ripe and sweet.

Storage and Reheating Tips

• Storage: Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
• Reheating: Reheat in a 350°F oven for 10–15 minutes or microwave individual portions for 30 seconds.
• Freezing: Cool completely, wrap tightly, and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in fridge and reheat before serving.
