Nothing says summer quite like the sweet aroma of peach cobbler wafting through the air on a warm evening. This beloved dessert, with its rich, bubbly peach filling and crumbly crust, is a true celebration of summer’s bounty. Let’s dive into this easy-to-follow recipe.
Ingredients:
For the Filling:
- 8 fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced into thin wedges
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
For the Topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
- 1/4 cup boiling water
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 425° F.
- In a large bowl, combine the peach slices with white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Toss to coat evenly, then pour into a 2-quart baking dish.
- In a separate bowl, mix the flour, white sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Blend in the butter with your fingertips, or a pastry cutter, until the mixture resembles a coarse meal. Gradually stir in boiling water until just combined.
- Spoon the topping over the peaches in dollops.
- Bake until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling, 25-30 minutes.
