Georgia Peach Cobbler
A warm, buttery Georgia Peach Cobbler made with canned peaches, brown sugar, and a vanilla-infused batter that bakes into a soft, golden topping.
8 Servings
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 15 oz cans sliced peaches, rinsed and well-drained
- 1 cup light brown sugar packed
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat the Oven:
- Set the oven to 375°F (190°C). While the oven preheats, melt the butter and pour it directly into the center of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Do not spread the butter; allow it to settle naturally.
Prepare the Batter:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated. Carefully pour the batter into the center of the baking dish over the melted butter. Do not stir or spread.
Prepare the Peach Filling:
- In a medium skillet over medium heat, combine the drained peaches, brown sugar, and lemon juice. Cook for approximately 5–7 minutes, or until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is heated through.
Assemble the Cobbler:
- Gently pour the peach mixture into the center of the batter. Avoid stirring to preserve the natural layering which forms the cobbler's crust during baking.
Bake:
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the batter has fully risen and set. Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
To prepare a gluten-free version of this Georgia Peach Cobbler, substitute the all-purpose flour with a one-to-one gluten-free baking flour blend that includes xanthan gum for structure. Verify that the baking powder and canned peaches are labeled gluten-free to avoid cross-contamination.
