This easy, old-fashioned peach cobbler recipe brings together juicy, sweet peaches and a golden-brown topping for a delicious and comforting dessert. Its versatile nature allows for creative adaptations, and it's best served warm with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
In large sauce pan, bring peaches, 1 cup of sugar, and cinnamon or nutmeg to boil, stirring constantly.
In 9" x 13" baking pan, melt butter.
In large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking soda, remaining 1 cup of sugar, and milk.
Mix until all dry ingredients are moist.
Pour batter into baking pan, being sure to distribute evenly.
Pour peach mixture over batter.
Place in oven and bake 40 to 45 minutes or until golden brown on top.
Serve warm or refrigerate for later use.
Notes
Add a cup of other fresh fruit if you like. In preparing this recipe, I tossed in some blueberries which contributed some nice color and flavor to the recipe.
Out of ground cinnamon? (As I was.) Place a couple of cinnamon sticks in the sauce pan with the peaches, then bake with the rest of the ingredients.
Have vanilla ice cream on hand to accompany this cobbler.
