Prep Time: 20 mins
Cook Time: 40 mins
Total Time: 1 hrs
Cuisine: Southern
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh peaches, sliced
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 cup oats
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine sliced peaches, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Gently toss until peaches are evenly coated. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow peaches to release their natural juices.
- In a separate bowl, prepare the crumble topping by mixing all-purpose flour, brown sugar, melted butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, and oats. Mix until the ingredients form a crumbly, slightly clumpy texture.
- Pour the prepared peach mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom of the dish.
- Sprinkle the brown sugar crumble mixture uniformly over the peaches, ensuring complete coverage.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and let the cobbler cool for 15-20 minutes. This allows the filling to set and makes serving easier.
- Serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
Tips
- Choose Ripe Peaches: For the most flavorful cobbler, select peaches that are fragrant and slightly soft to the touch. Fresh, in-season peaches will elevate your dessert.
- Don't Rush the Maceration: Letting peaches sit with sugar helps release their natural juices, intensifying the flavor and creating a more luscious filling.
- Crumble Consistency is Key: When mixing the crumble topping, aim for a texture that's slightly clumpy but not too dense. This ensures a crispy, golden-brown top.
- Serve Warm: While delicious at any temperature, this cobbler is most divine when served warm, preferably with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
- Make Ahead: You can prepare the peach mixture and crumble topping separately in advance, assembling and baking just before serving for maximum freshness.
