For the complete cooking process, check the Full Recipe. First, grab your peaches. You need four cups of fresh peaches, peeled and sliced. This is key for great flavor. In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches with one cup of granulated sugar, one teaspoon of vanilla extract, one teaspoon of lemon juice, one teaspoon of cinnamon, and half a teaspoon of nutmeg. Toss everything gently to coat the peaches well. Let them sit for about 15 minutes. This helps the juices mix with the sugar and spices. Now, let’s make the batter. In another bowl, mix together one cup of all-purpose flour, one tablespoon of baking powder, half a teaspoon of salt, and one cup of milk. Stir until smooth. Then, add half a cup of melted unsalted butter. Mix until fully combined. The batter should be thick but pourable. Next, pour the batter into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread it evenly across the bottom. Now, spoon the peach mixture over the batter. Don’t stir! The batter will rise around the peaches while it bakes. Finally, sprinkle one tablespoon of sugar over the top for extra sweetness and crunch. Bake this in your preheated oven at 375°F for 40-45 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when the top is golden brown, and a toothpick comes out clean. Enjoy your peach cobbler warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top! For the complete recipe, check out the Full Recipe. To make the best peach cobbler, pick ripe, sweet peaches. Look for peaches with a rich color and slight softness. They should smell sweet and fragrant. Avoid peaches with bruises or wrinkles. If they are hard, let them ripen at room temperature for a few days. Perfect peaches can turn your cobbler into a star dish. Baking is both an art and a science. For a great texture, do not stir the peach mixture into the batter. This allows the batter to rise and form a nice crust. Make sure your oven is preheated to 375°F (190°C) before baking. Bake until the top is golden brown. A toothpick should come out clean.
