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