Description
The Best Peach Cobbler is a warm American dessert made with juicy peaches and a buttery sugar-cookie-style crust that bakes golden and tender.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups freshly sliced peaches, or drained canned peaches
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, for the peaches
- 1 cup granulated sugar, for the topping
- 1/2 cup salted butter, softened
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Tiny pinch of salt
- Pinch of nutmeg, optional
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Nonstick spray, for greasing the baking dish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 2-quart baking dish with nonstick spray.
- Spread the sliced peaches in a single even layer in the prepared baking dish.
- Sprinkle the peaches with 2 tablespoons granulated sugar.
- In a medium bowl, beat 1 cup granulated sugar with the softened salted butter until combined and creamy.
- Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg if using, then mix until combined.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, then beat just until the mixture forms a soft cookie-dough-style batter.
- Take small chunks of dough, flatten them with your hands, and place them across the tops of the peaches.
- Bake for 36 to 40 minutes, or until the crust turns golden brown and cooks through.
- Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- Drain canned peaches very well before using.
- The dough does not need to fully cover the peaches.
- Let the cobbler rest before serving so the filling can settle.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Reheat individual servings in the microwave or warm larger portions in a 300 degrees F oven.
