This peach cobbler is simple in the best way. Ripe, juicy peaches, a butter-filled batter, and a hot oven create a perfect dessert with crisp edges, a soft center, and plenty of summertime flavor.
Melt the butter: Add the butter to an 8 x 8-inch baking dish. Set the baking dish in the oven and preheat the oven to 350°F. Once the butter is melted in the oven, remove the baking dish, 4-6 minutes. Set the baking dish aside while preparing the batter.
4 tbsp unsalted butter
Meanwhile, prepare the batter: Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a bowl. Whisk to incorporate evenly. Add the milk and whisk until smooth.
¾ cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup granulated sugar, 1 ½ tsp baking powder, ¾ tsp kosher salt, ¾ tsp ground cinnamon, ⅔ cup whole milk
Assemble: Pour the batter into the baking dish with the melted butter. There is no need to stir. Add the sliced peaches directly on top of the batter.
4 cups peeled and sliced peaches
Bake in the preheated oven until the cobbler is golden and set in the middle, 45-55 minutes. Once baked, remove from the oven and cool 15 minutes before serving.
