Instructions:
- Prepare the Peaches:
- If you’re using fresh peaches, peel, pit, and slice them into small pieces. If you’re using canned peaches, drain them well and cut into smaller chunks if necessary.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the peaches with ½ cup sugar and the lemon juice. Set aside and let the peaches soak in the syrup for about 10-15 minutes.
- Make the Cobbler Topping:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and ½ cup sugar.
- Stir in the milk and melted butter until the batter is smooth. The batter will be thick but pourable.
- Assemble the Cobbler:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a greased 9×9 baking dish (or a similar-sized dish), pour the peach mixture, making sure to distribute the peaches evenly.
- Gently pour the cobbler batter over the top of the peaches. Do not stir—let the batter naturally float on top.
- Optional: Sprinkle a little cinnamon over the top of the batter for added warmth and flavor.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly. You can check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the topping—if it comes out clean, it’s ready!
- Serve:
- Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving. It’s delicious warm, served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream, or even a drizzle of heavy cream.
Tips for Perfecting Grandma’s Peach Cobbler
- Fresh or Canned Peaches?: If you can find ripe, fresh peaches, definitely go for it! But if fresh peaches are out of season, canned peaches in syrup can still yield a delicious result.
- Extra Flavor: If you’re craving an extra burst of flavor, add a splash of almond extract or a pinch of nutmeg to the topping for a twist.
- Make It Ahead: This cobbler can be made ahead of time! Assemble the cobbler and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours before baking. Just add a few extra minutes to the bake time if it’s cold from the fridge.
- Serving Tip: If you’re looking for a special touch, serve the cobbler in individual bowls for a more personal presentation.
