Title: Classic Peach Cobbler Recipe

Introduction:

Peach cobbler is a beloved dessert that brings together the sweetness of ripe peaches and a golden, buttery crust. This classic treat is easy to make and perfect for any occasion, especially in the summer when peaches are in season. Served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, it’s a comforting and delicious way to end a meal.

Recipe:

Ingredients:

For the peach filling:

• 6-8 fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (or 4 cups of canned peaches, drained)
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch (for a thicker filling)

For the cobbler crust:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 1/2 cup milk (or buttermilk for a richer flavor)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Filling:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
• In a mixing bowl, combine peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and cinnamon (if using). Stir well, then add cornstarch to thicken the mixture. Set aside for a few minutes to let the flavors blend.

1. Make the Crust:

• In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
• Add the cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Pour in the milk and stir until just combined.

1. Assemble and Bake:

• Pour the peach filling into a baking dish, spreading it evenly.
• Drop spoonfuls of the crust mixture over the peaches, covering most of the surface.
• Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the peaches are bubbling.

1. Serve:

• Let cool for a few minutes, then serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
