🍑 Old-Time Oven Peach Cobbler Recipe
Serves: 8
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Bake Time: 40–45 minutes
Ingredients
-
1 stick (½ cup) unsalted butter
-
1 cup self-rising flour
-
1 cup granulated sugar
-
1 cup milk
-
1 can (29 oz) sliced peaches in syrup (or fresh peaches, sweetened and lightly cooked)
-
½ tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
-
Pinch of nutmeg (optional)
🥣 Instructions
-
Preheat oven:
-
Set to 350°F (175°C).
-
Place butter in a 9×13-inch baking dish and let it melt in the oven while preheating.
-
-
Make the batter:
-
In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and milk until smooth.
-
(Do not overmix — a few small lumps are fine.)
-
-
Add peaches:
-
Pour the melted butter into the batter and stir just once or twice (do not fully mix).
-
Pour the batter into the baking dish over the butter — do not stir.
-
Spoon the peaches and syrup evenly over the top of the batter.
-
Sprinkle with cinnamon and nutmeg, if desired.
-
-
Bake:
-
Bake uncovered for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly around the edges.
-
-
Serve:
-
Cool slightly before serving.
-
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
-
✨ Tips
-
Use self-rising flour — if you only have all-purpose, add 1 ½ tsp baking powder and ¼ tsp salt.
-
For a stronger peach flavor, use fresh or frozen peaches cooked with a little sugar and lemon juice.
-
Let the cobbler rest 10 minutes before serving so the syrup thickens.
