Nothing says summer quite like a warm peach cobbler. This recipe has been a staple in my kitchen for years because it perfectly balances the juicy sweetness of fresh peaches with a buttery, golden crust. It is always the first thing to disappear at any backyard BBQ or family gathering.

My favorite part is the topping, which bakes up with a wonderful texture similar to soft cookie dough. For an extra treat, try sprinkling a little extra sugar on top right before you put it in the oven to get that lovely, crunchy broiled finish.

Ingredients

  • 6 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon coarse sugar for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

  2. 2

    In a large mixing bowl, toss the sliced peaches with 1 cup of sugar and the lemon juice. Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish.

  3. 3

    In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 cup of sugar, baking powder, and salt.

  4. 4

    Stir in the beaten egg until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  5. 5

    Spread the dough evenly over the peaches in your baking dish.

  6. 6

    Drizzle the melted butter over the topping and sprinkle with the coarse sugar.

  7. 7

    Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the peach juices are bubbly.

  8. 8

    Let the cobbler sit for 10 minutes before serving so the juices can thicken.

💡 Tips

This cobbler is best served warm with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. If you have leftovers, cover them tightly and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Simply reheat individual portions in the microwave for a few seconds when you are ready for another bowl.
