Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine peach halves, lemon juice, and brown sugar in a bowl.
- Pour the fruit mixture into a greased 1 1/2-quart round cake dish or casserole.
- In a separate bowl, blend gingerbread mix, corn muffin mix, and grated orange rind.
- Beat in eggs and buttermilk until smooth.
- Set aside 2 cups of batter for the muffins.
- Spoon the remaining batter over the fruit in the casserole dish.
- Mix melted butter and orange marmalade into the reserved batter.
- Pour the batter into 12 greased 2 1/2-inch muffin pan cups.
- Bake the cobbler on the lower shelf for 30 to 35 minutes and the muffins on the upper shelf for 20 minutes in a preheated oven at 375°F.
- Serve the muffins warm and the cobbler warm with light cream and a sprinkle of nutmeg.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, try using fresh peaches instead of canned for a more vibrant flavor. If you don't have buttermilk, you can substitute it with regular milk mixed with a bit of vinegar or lemon juice. Make sure to grease your pans well to avoid sticking, and check the cobbler for doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean. This recipe is great for using up summer peaches, and you can browse more American recipes for similar ideas.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the warm peach cobbler with a drizzle of light cream and a sprinkle of nutmeg for added flavor. The muffins can be enjoyed on their own or with butter. This dish pairs beautifully with the Easy Cherry Pineapple Cobbler for a delightful dessert spread at gatherings, making it perfect for family get-togethers or potlucks.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover cobbler and muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm the cobbler in the oven at 350°F for about 15 minutes until heated through, and the muffins can be microwaved for 10-15 seconds or warmed in the oven for a few minutes to restore their freshness.
