Oh yes! Old-Fashioned Peach Cobbler is warm, sweet, and perfect for a cozy dessert—especially when made in a classic “old oven” style. 🍑🥧
Here’s a traditional recipe:
Old-Fashioned Peach Cobbler
Ingredients (serves 6–8)
Filling
- 6–7 fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced (or 2 cans of sliced peaches, drained)
- 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup (30 g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 tsp lemon juice
Topping
- 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup (240 ml) milk
- 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted
- Optional: 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Preheat oven
- Preheat to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or similar size.
2. Prepare the filling
- In a large bowl, combine peach slices, sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice.
- Toss gently to coat the peaches evenly.
- Pour into the prepared baking dish.
3. Make the topping
- In another bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Stir in milk and melted butter until smooth.
- Add vanilla extract if using.
4. Assemble
- Pour the batter over the peaches. Don’t stir; the batter will rise and create a soft cake-like topping while baking.
5. Bake
- Bake for 40–45 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- The peach juices will bubble up around the edges.
6. Serve
- Let cool slightly before serving.
- Optional: Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
Tips
- Use ripe peaches for maximum sweetness.
- For extra flavor, sprinkle a little brown sugar and cinnamon on top before baking.
- Can be made ahead and reheated—flavors actually improve after a few hours.
