Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Melt butter in an 8 x 12-inch baking dish.
- Sift together flour, 1 cup of sugar, salt, and baking powder, then blend with milk to form a batter.
- Pour the batter over the melted butter in the baking dish.
- Spread peeled and sliced peaches evenly over the batter.
- In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1 cup of sugar with cinnamon and sprinkle over the peaches.
- Bake for 1 hour until the crust covers the surface of the cobbler and is golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, use butter instead of margarine. If fresh peaches are unavailable, canned peaches can work in a pinch; just drain them well. You can also add a splash of vanilla extract to the batter for extra depth. If you prefer a crunchier topping, consider adding some oats or chopped nuts to the cinnamon sugar mix.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Jamboree Peach Cobbler warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top for a delightful contrast. It pairs beautifully with Butterscotch Sauce(Ice Cream Topping) drizzled over the ice cream. For a refreshing drink, consider serving it alongside Lemonade Lime-Jello Pie for a perfect summer meal.

To store leftovers, cover the cobbler tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave for about 30 seconds or in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes until warmed through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen peaches instead of fresh?
Yes, you can use frozen peaches for this recipe. Just ensure they are thawed and drained of excess moisture before using, as frozen peaches can release more water during baking. This might slightly alter the texture, but they will still be delicious.
How can I make this recipe gluten-free?
To make this Jamboree Peach Cobbler gluten-free, simply substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Make sure your baking powder is gluten-free as well. The rest of the ingredients in the recipe should be naturally gluten-free.
What can I serve with this cobbler?
This cobbler is fantastic on its own but can be enhanced with a scoop of whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce. For a complete dessert experience, serve it alongside a rich Chocolate Lava Cake or a light fruit salad to balance the sweetness.
