Ingredients

• Filling:
• 6 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• Crumble Topping:
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Peaches

Start by peeling and slicing the peaches. You should have about 6 cups of sliced peaches. Place them in a large bowl and add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Gently toss the peaches until they are evenly coated with the sugar mixture. Set aside while you prepare the crumble topping.

2. Make the Crumble Topping

In a separate bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well. Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This will create the perfect crispy, buttery topping for your cobbler.

3. Assemble the Cobbler

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Pour the peach mixture into a 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the peaches, covering them completely.

4. Bake to Perfection

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges. If the topping begins to brown too quickly, you can cover the dish loosely with aluminum foil.

5. Serve and Enjoy

Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before serving. This allows the filling to set slightly. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra special treat.

Expert Tips

• Peach Selection: Use ripe but firm peaches for the best texture. If fresh peaches aren’t available, you can use frozen peaches, but be sure to thaw and drain them well before using.
• Butter Matters: Ensure your butter is cold when making the crumble topping. This helps create a crispy, crumbly texture.
• Customize the Topping: For added crunch, you can mix in chopped nuts like pecans or almonds into the crumble topping.
• Make Ahead: You can prepare the peach filling and crumble topping ahead of time and store them separately in the refrigerator. Assemble and bake just before serving.

FAQ

Can I use canned peaches for this recipe?

Yes, you can use canned peaches, but be sure to drain them well and adjust the sugar in the recipe, as canned peaches are often sweeter than fresh ones.

How do I store leftovers?

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.

Can I freeze this peach cobbler?

Yes, you can freeze the cobbler before or after baking. If freezing before baking, assemble the cobbler in a freezer-safe dish and cover tightly with foil. Bake from frozen, adding extra time as needed. If freezing after baking, let it cool completely, then cover and freeze. Thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.
