A warm, comforting peach cobbler with a cinnamon-spiced batter, perfect for quick weeknight desserts or cozy gatherings with fresh peaches and a buttery topping.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
- Combine the butter, flour, sugar, milk, and cinnamon in a mixing bowl until well blended.
- Add the chopped peaches into the batter and mix gently.
- Pour the mixture into a casserole dish, spreading evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about an hour, or until the top is browned and the dish is cooked through.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of white sugar. If fresh peaches are out of season, canned or frozen peaches can be substituted; just drain and thaw them well. To enhance the dish, add a touch of vanilla extract or nutmeg for extra warmth. Ensure the butter is melted and cooled slightly before mixing to avoid cooking the batter.
Serving Suggestions
This dish is delicious served warm, preferably with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. For added texture, sprinkle some chopped nuts on top before serving. It pairs beautifully with Berry Pudding Cake, making it a delightful dessert duo for dinner parties or family gatherings.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual portions in the microwave for about 30 seconds or until warmed through. Alternatively, you can bake it in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes to regain its crispiness.
