Brown Butter
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
Peach Filling
- 6 ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cobbler Topping
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the cobbler.
- Brown the Butter: Melt 1/2 cup unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally until it turns golden brown and releases a nutty aroma. Remove immediately to prevent burning.
- Prepare Peach Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches with 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Toss gently to coat the peaches evenly.
- Combine Peaches with Brown Butter: Pour the browned butter over the peach mixture and stir gently until fully combined. Transfer this mixture into a 9×13 inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Make the Cobbler Topping Batter: In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Add Milk and Melted Butter: Stir in 1/2 cup milk and 1/4 cup melted butter into the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined to keep the topping tender—avoid overmixing.
- Assemble the Cobbler: Spoon the batter evenly over the peach mixture in the baking dish, covering it completely.
- Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 35-45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the peaches are bubbly and fragrant.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving to let the flavors meld and prevent burning from the hot fruit.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe peaches for best flavor. If peaches are not in season, frozen sliced peaches (thawed) can be substituted.
- Don’t skip browning the butter—it adds a deep, nutty flavor that elevates the cobbler.
- Do not overmix the topping batter to keep it light and fluffy.
- This cobbler is delicious served warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
- You can substitute milk with any dairy-free alternative to make it lactose-free.
