Ingredients

Filling

  • 3 pounds fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 4 cups)
  • 1/3 cup orange juice
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar

Topping

  • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional

  • Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Filling: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a medium bowl, combine peeled and sliced peaches, orange juice, and 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar, mixing well. Pour this peach mixture into a 9-inch square or round baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients for Topping: In a small bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt to evenly distribute the leavening agent and seasoning.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a separate medium bowl, cream the softened butter and 1/2 cup granulated sugar together until the mixture is pale and fluffy, which typically takes about 5 minutes. This process incorporates air, ensuring a light topping.
  4. Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat the egg and vanilla extract into the creamed butter and sugar mixture until fully combined, forming the batter base.
  5. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry flour mixture in three batches to the wet ingredients, beating well after each addition to create a smooth, slightly thick batter.
  6. Apply Topping over Peaches: Using rounded tablespoons or a small scoop, drop dollops of the batter evenly over the peach mixture in the baking dish, ensuring the fruit is mostly covered but some is exposed to bubble through.
  7. Bake the Cobbler: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the topping turns golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly and hot.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove the cobbler from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes before serving. For an extra indulgence, serve with vanilla ice cream if desired.

Notes

  • Peel peaches by blanching them in boiling water for 30 seconds, then transferring to ice water; the skins will slip off easily.
  • Use softened butter, not melted, to ensure a fluffy topping texture.
  • Vanilla ice cream is optional but highly recommended to complement the warm cobbler.
