Description
Trisha Yearwood’s Peach Cobbler is a simple yet delicious dessert made with fresh or canned peaches, sugar, and a buttery batter that bakes into a crispy, golden crust. The peaches are baked to perfection, releasing their natural juices and creating a sweet, syrupy filling that pairs beautifully with the tender crust. Served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, this cobbler is the epitome of comfort food.
Ingredients
Scale
- For the Peach Filling:
- 4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (or 2 cans of sliced peaches, drained)
- 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
Instructions
- 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.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the cobbler is golden brown and bubbly.
- 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.
