This new cobbler of mine has only half the sugar of my original recipe and a quarter of the butter. But it’s got 100 percent of the great peachy taste. The cobbler topping is out of this world, I tell you. My favorite part of this dessert is the sweet golden edges of the topping. I always cut myself off an end piece and let the rest of the family fall all over the middle.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 cans (15 ounces each) sliced peaches in juice, drained, with 1/4 cup juice reserved
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 °F. Grease a 13 by 9-inch baking dish with the butter.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk in the milk and vanilla until smooth. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and arrange the peach slices on top. Drizzle over the reserved juice. Bake for about 40 minutes, until lightly golden and firm to the touch.
