Ingredients

For the Peach Filling

• 6 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
• 150g granulated sugar
• 50g light brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons cornflour

For the Cobbler Topping

• 150g plain flour
• 100g caster sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• Pinch of salt
• 120ml whole milk
• 115g unsalted butter, melted
• Extra cinnamon sugar for topping

How to Make Peach Cobbler Recipe

• Prepare the oven: Preheat the oven to 180°C fan. Place the oven shelf in the middle position so the cobbler bakes evenly and develops a golden topping.
• Prepare the peaches: Peel and slice the peaches into even wedges. Add them to a large mixing bowl with granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and cornflour. Stir well until the peaches are fully coated.
• Fill the baking dish: Transfer the peach filling into a lightly greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Spread the fruit evenly so every spoonful gets plenty of peaches.
• Mix the topping: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, caster sugar, baking powder, and salt. Pour in the milk and melted butter, then stir until a thick batter forms.
• Assemble the cobbler: Spoon the topping mixture over the peaches. Leave a few small gaps so the fruit can bubble through while baking.
• Add extra flavor: Sprinkle a little cinnamon sugar over the top for a crisp, caramelized finish.
• Bake the cobbler: Bake for 38 to 42 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges.
• Cool before serving: Let the cobbler rest for at least 10 minutes before serving. This helps the filling thicken slightly and improves the texture.

Tips for the Best Peach Cobbler

How do I keep peach cobbler from becoming watery?

Use ripe peaches and add cornflour to thicken the juices while baking. Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving so the filling sets properly.

Can I use canned or frozen peaches?

Yes. Drain canned peaches well before using. Frozen peaches should be thawed fully and patted dry to remove excess moisture.

Why is my topping dense instead of fluffy?

Do not overmix the batter. Stir only until combined to keep the topping soft and tender.

How do I get a crisp golden topping?

Sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the batter before baking. The sugar caramelizes in the oven and creates a lightly crisp surface.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve warm with vanilla ice cream
• Add freshly whipped cream
• Pair with caramel sauce for extra richness
• Enjoy with hot coffee or sweet tea
