Peach Cobbler Made Simple

Ingredients

Peach Filling

• 5 to 6 peaches, peeled* and sliced (about 3 to 4 cups)
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• Pinch of salt
• 1 to 2 teaspoons lemon juice

Batter

• 4 tablespoons butter (or butter substitute)
• 3/4 cup flour
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• Pinch of salt
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup milk (can use almond or oat milk instead)

Directions

1. Heat oven to 350°F.
2. In a pot, mix peaches, sugar, cinnamon, salt, and lemon juice.
3. Cook over medium heat until the mixture starts to bubble. Stir now and then.
4. Lower the heat and let it simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
5. Put butter in a baking dish and place it in the oven until melted.
6. In a bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
7. In a small bowl, mix vanilla and milk.
8. Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture and stir until smooth.
9. Pour the batter into the baking dish over the melted butter.
10. Spoon the peach mixture evenly over the batter.
11. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the peaches are bubbling.
12. Cool to warm before serving.

Serving Tip

Serve alone or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

*Helpful Tip

To peel peaches more easily, cut a small “X” on each peach. Place them in boiling water for 1-2 minutes, then remove and cool. The skin should come off easily with a paring knife.
