Ingredients

Scale

Brown Butter and Peach Mixture

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 6 ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cobbler Topping

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup melted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the cobbler evenly.
  2. Brown the Butter: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the 1/2 cup of unsalted butter. Stir occasionally and cook until it turns a golden brown color and emits a nutty aroma. Remove from heat immediately to prevent burning.
  3. Prepare Peach Mixture: In a large bowl, toss the peeled and sliced peaches with 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until the peaches are thoroughly coated.
  4. Add Browned Butter to Peaches: Pour the browned butter over the peach mixture and gently stir to combine all the flavors. Transfer this mixture into a 9×13 inch baking dish, spreading evenly.
  5. Mix Topping Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  6. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour the 1/2 cup milk and 1/4 cup melted butter into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, careful not to overmix to keep the topping tender.
  7. Assemble Cobbler: Spoon the batter evenly over the peach mixture in the baking dish, covering as much of the fruit as possible.
  8. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly and fragrant.
  9. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving to let the juices thicken a bit, providing the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use ripe peaches for the best flavor and natural sweetness. If fresh peaches are out of season, frozen peaches work as a good substitute; thaw and drain excess liquid before use.
  • Be sure to watch the butter closely while browning—it can go from perfect to burnt quickly.
  • This cobbler can be served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra decadence.
  • To make peeling peaches easier, blanch them in boiling water for 30 seconds, then plunge into ice water to loosen the skins.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
