1 cup granulated sugar

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Cobbler Batter:

1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup whole milk

Equipment

9×13-inch baking dish: For baking the cobbler.

Mixing bowls: For preparing the peach filling and cobbler batter.
Saucepan: For melting the butter.
Measuring cups and spoons: To measure out the ingredients accurately.

Whisk or wooden spoon: For mixing the batter.

Instructions to Make Trisha Yearwood Peach Cobbler

Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the peaches: In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches, 1 cup of sugar, cinnamon (if using), and vanilla extract. Stir until the peaches are evenly coated. Set aside.

Melt the butter: In a saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Pour the melted butter into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Make the batter: In another mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 cup of sugar, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add the milk, whisking until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
Assemble the cobbler: Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not stir. Spoon the peach mixture evenly over the batter. Again, do not stir; the batter will rise to the top as it bakes.

Serve: Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving. Serve warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
