Peach Cobbler

INGREDIENTS

  • 5 peaches, peeled, cored, and sliced
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup milk
  • Cinnamon sugar for garnish

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with a silicon mat or parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Add the sliced peaches, sugar, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg to a saucepan and stir to combine.
  3. Cook on medium heat for just a few minutes, until the sugar is dissolved and helps to bring out juices from the peaches. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Pour into the aluminum half-tray baking pan and set aside.
  4. In a large bowl mix together the sugar and softened butter, until creamy. Add flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the milk, just until combined. Using a spatula, carefully spread the mixture into the pan, over the top of the peaches. Try to cover all of the peaches as possible.
  5. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar generously over the top. Place the baking pan on the baking sheet and place in oven (Note: baking sheet will catch any spilled juices and prevent dirtying the oven floor).
  6. Bake at 350 degrees for about 30-35 minutes, until top is golden brown. Remove from oven and let stand for about 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm, with a scoop of ice cream, if desired.
