Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Spray a 2 quart baking dish or 9x13 baking pan with cooking spray.
  • In a medium saucepan over medium low heat, combine the peaches and sugar. Cook and stir gently until gently boiling. 6 cups fresh sliced peaches, 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch and water, mixing well. Drizzle this into the peaches and mix. Stir until thickened. 2 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch, 1/4 cup water
  • Add the butter, cinnamon and vanilla. Mix well. Remove from heat and pour into the prepared pan. 1 tablespoon salted butter, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 3 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt
  • Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender. Add in the milk and mix just until combined. Do not over mix! 6 tablespoons salted butter, 1 1/4 cups whole milk
  • Drop the batter onto the peaches by spoonfuls. Sprinkle the 1/4 cup sugar overtop the batter. Use a spray bottle to spray water on the sugar or drizzle the hot water all over the sugar. 1/3 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons hot water
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the cobbler batter is baked through and the peaches are bubbling. The cobbler will be very lightly browned. Serve warm with ice cream.

Notes

Cold butter matters: Cut your butter into small cubes and keep it in the refrigerator until the moment you use it. Warm butter makes a flat, dense topping.
Don't overmix: Stir the biscuit dough just until combined. A few streaks of flour are fine. Overmixing develops gluten and makes the topping tough
Sugar crust: After dropping the biscuit dough, sprinkle the sugar on top and mist or drizzle with hot water before baking. This creates a crunchy crust on top.
Canned peaches: Drain completely and reduce added sugar to ⅓ cup.
Storage: Cover and refrigerate up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave (60 sec) or oven at 325°F for 15 minutes.
