Easy Peach Cobbler Recipe with Ice Cream Recipe

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place 1/4 cup butter in a 9-inch glass baking dish and put it in the oven to melt as the oven heats up.

In a large bowl, mix together 1/2 cup flour, 2/3 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add 1/3 cup milk and 1 beaten egg to the dry ingredients; stir until combined into a smooth batter.

Remove the melted butter from the oven carefully. Pour the prepared batter directly over the melted butter in the dish. Do not stir; letting the batter sit atop the butter helps create the cobbler’s textured base.

In a separate bowl, combine 2 cups peeled peaches with 1/3 cup sugar, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg. Stir gently to blend the flavors.

Spoon the peach mixture gently and evenly over the batter in the baking dish. Do not stir; the fruit will sink slightly during baking, creating a layered effect.

Sprinkle 1/4 cup brown sugar evenly over the peaches and batter to add sweetness and a caramelized topping.

Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes until the batter turns golden brown and the peaches are bubbly.

For the last 2-3 minutes, switch the oven to broil and carefully broil the top to add extra crispness. Watch closely to prevent burning.

Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.
