Ingredients:

  • 6 cups (900g) fresh peach slices
  • 1/2 cup (100g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp (16g) cornstarch
  • 1 tsp (2g) ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp (0.5g) ground nutmeg
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp (10g) baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
  • 1 cup (240ml) whole milk
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) melted butter

Instructions:

  1. Pit and slice the peaches into uniform wedges approximately 1/4 inch thick.
  2. In a large bowl, toss peach slices with brown sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. Allow the peach mixture to rest for 10 minutes to allow cornstarch to dissolve and juices to release.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Incorporate chilled cubed butter using a pastry cutter or forks until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized lumps.
  6. Stir in the whole milk just until combined, taking care not to overmix.
  7. Pour the peach mixture into a 9x9 inch baking dish or cast iron skillet.
  8. Spread the dough evenly over the top of the peaches.
  9. Brush the top of the crust with melted butter.
  10. Bake for 40 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  11. Allow the cobbler to cool for 20 minutes before serving.
