This has to be one of my favorite desserts! My mother made peach cobbler for us when we were children and I just remember the excitement of it being pulled out of the oven and not being able to WAIT to sink my teeth into this wonderful, gooey, fruity treat. (my mom always made us wait a few minutes because it comes out bubbling, and obviously very hot!!)
Anyway, I hope you try and enjoy this recipe as much as I do!!
Ingredients
Peach Mixture:
6-8 fresh peaches – peeled, pitted and sliced
1/4 cup white sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon lemon juice
3 teaspoons cornstarch
Batter
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup white sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
1/4 cup boiling water
Topping
1 tbsp butter, softened
3 tbsp sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
Directions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees f. In a large bowl, combine the white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Once incorporated, add the peaches. Toss to coat, and pour into a 2 quart baking dish. Bake in oven for 10 minutes. In a large bowl, combine flour, 1/4 cup white sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in butter with a pastry blender, until mixture is coarse and crumbly. Stir in water and combine (don’t over work the mix). Remove peaches from oven and drop spoonfuls of the batter mixture on top of the peaches. Sprinkle the butter/sugar/cinnamon mixture over the cobbler and bake for approximately 30 minutes or until golden brown.
Note: it might be a bit difficult to tell that the cobbler is brown because of the cinnamon/sugar mixture. Watch closely once you reach the 20 minute mark.
