• 1 tablespoon baking powder

How to Make It

Follow these simple steps to create your peach cobbler:

Preheat your oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure your cobbler bakes evenly.

Combine peach mixture

In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir gently to coat the peaches in sugar. Pour the peach mixture into a greased baking dish.

Mix the batter

In another bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Stir in the milk and melted butter until just combined without overmixing.

Pour and bake

Pour the batter over the peaches in the baking dish. Bake for about 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool and serve

Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your heavenly peach cobbler warm, perhaps with a scoop of ice cream.

How to Store It

Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Freezer: Yes, it freezes well for up to 3 months.
Reheat: Warm in the oven at 350°F for about 15 minutes.

Tips for Best Results

• Use ripe, juicy peaches for maximum flavor.
