Step-by-Step Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches with 1 cup of granulated sugar, ¼ cup of water, and the lemon juice. Stir to coat the peaches and let them sit for about 10 minutes.
While the peaches are resting, melt the butter in a baking dish in the preheated oven.
In another bowl, mix together the flour, 1 cup of sugar, baking powder, and salt. Gradually stir in the milk and vanilla extract until just combined.
Pour the batter over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not stir.
Spoon the peach mixture over the batter, including the juice. Again, do not stir.
Sprinkle with cinnamon and nutmeg to taste.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the peaches are bubbly.
Serve warm and enjoy!

Fun Ways to Customize It

Berry Bliss: Add a mix of fresh berries like blueberries or raspberries for an extra fruity twist. The tartness pairs beautifully with the sweetness of the peaches!
Nutty Crunch: Sprinkle some chopped pecans or almonds on top before baking for an added crunchy texture that complements the softness of the peaches.
Coconut Delight: Incorporate shredded coconut into the batter for a tropical feel that enhances the cobbler’s warm flavors.
Spiced Up: Experiment with additional spices like cardamom or ginger for a zesty warmth that dances on your palate.

Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips

Make-Ahead Advice: Prepare the peach filling a day in advance, allowing the flavors to deepen. Just assemble and bake when you’re ready to enjoy!
Perfectly Slicing Peaches: To make peeling peaches easier, blanch them in boiling water for 30 seconds, then immediately transfer them to an ice bath. The skin will slip off easily!
Storing Leftovers: Keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave for a cozy treat any time.
Baking Dish Matters: A glass or ceramic baking dish works best for even cooking and helps you achieve that glorious golden top!
