Ingredients
  

  • INGREDIENTS
  • 6 to 8 fresh peaches or equivalent canned peaches
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar adjust to taste
  • 1-2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1/4 to 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg optional
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1-2 cups granulated sugar for the topping

Instructions
 

  • COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (or according to your recipe preference). Prepare a baking dish by greasing it lightly.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced fresh peaches (or drained canned peaches) with 1/4 cup of sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss gently until the peaches are well-coated, then pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  • In another bowl, mix together the flour, additional sugar (1-2 cups), baking powder, and any spices you wish to include. Whisk until well combined.
  • Add the melted or chilled butter to the dry ingredients, mixing until crumbly. If desired, pour in the milk and stir just until the mixture is moistened.
  • Spoon the cobbler topping over the peach filling, spreading it evenly to cover the fruit.
  • Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 60 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the topping comes out clean.
  • Once baked, remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Canned peaches save preparation time and are just as flavorful as fresh.
  • For best results, consider using ripe, juicy peaches that are in season for a burst of flavor.
  • Adjust the sugar level based on the sweetness of the peaches you choose. If you enjoy a crispier topping, bake it a bit longer until it reaches your desired level of golden-brown perfection.
  • Enjoy your Southern Peach Cobbler warm, and remember that leftovers can be stored at room temperature or refrigerated for a delightful treat later on!
