How to Make It

Here’s how to create your delicious peach cobbler.

Mix Peaches

Drain peaches and toss them with 1/4 cup sugar and cornstarch (if using). Set aside while you prepare the batter.

Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (176°C).

Melt Butter

Place butter in the bottom of an 8×8 inch glass baking dish or 2-quart casserole dish. Set the dish in the oven until the butter is melted, then remove it.

Prepare Batter

In a medium bowl, mix together 1 cup sugar, flour, baking powder, salt, milk, and vanilla until you form a smooth batter.

Combine Ingredients

Pour the batter over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not stir. Gently place the sliced peaches and their juicy mixture on top of the batter.

Bake Cobbler

Bake your peach cobbler for one hour, or until the crust is golden brown. If using a metal pan, check for doneness at 30-40 minutes while watching for browning and bubbling.

How to Store It

Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Freezer: No, the texture changes with freezing.
Reheat: Microwave for 20-30 seconds or until warmed through.

Tips for Best Results
