Old Time Oven Peach Cobbler

Here’s a classic recipe for Old Time Oven Peach Cobbler, which is perfect for a nostalgic dessert!

Ingredients:

• 6-8 fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (or 1 large can of peaches in syrup, drained)
• 1 cup sugar (for the peaches)
• 1/2 cup butter (1 stick), melted
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup sugar (for the batter)
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• Pinch of salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Ground cinnamon (optional, for sprinkling on top)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven: to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the peaches: If using fresh peaches, place them in a pot with 1 cup of sugar and a little water, simmering for about 10 minutes until soft. If using canned peaches, you can skip this step but make sure to drain them well.
3. Melt the butter: Pour the melted butter into a 9×13-inch baking dish.
4. Make the batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the milk and vanilla extract, stirring until smooth.
5. Assemble the cobbler: Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish. Don’t stir! Spoon the peaches (and some of the juice if you want a juicier cobbler) evenly on top of the batter. Again, don’t stir! The batter will rise around the peaches as it bakes.
6. Add cinnamon (optional): Sprinkle ground cinnamon on top of the peaches for extra flavor.
7. Bake: Place the cobbler in the preheated oven and bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
8. Cool and serve: Allow the cobbler to cool slightly. Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
