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 (for peaches)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the correct temperature for baking the cobbler evenly.
  2. Brown the Butter: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt 1/2 cup unsalted butter. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the butter foams and then turns golden brown with a nutty aroma. Immediately remove from heat to prevent burning.
  3. Prepare Peach Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the peeled, pitted, and sliced peaches with 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Toss gently to coat the peaches evenly with sugar and vanilla.
  4. Add Brown Butter to Peaches: Pour the browned butter over the peach mixture and stir gently, ensuring all the peaches are coated. Transfer this mixture into a 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading evenly.
  5. Make the Topping Dry Mix: In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt until combined.
  6. Add Wet Ingredients to Topping: Pour in 1/2 cup milk and 1/4 cup melted butter into the dry ingredients. Stir just until combined, being 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 the peaches while leaving some gaps for bubbling juices.
  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 juices are bubbling around the edges.
  9. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the cobbler to cool slightly, about 10-15 minutes, before serving. This helps the juices thicken slightly and makes it easier to slice and serve.

Notes

  • You can substitute fresh peaches with frozen peaches, but be sure to thaw and drain excess liquid before using.
  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the peach mixture.
  • Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a decadent dessert.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat before serving.
  • To peel peaches easily, score an X on the bottom and blanch them in boiling water for 30 seconds, then transfer to ice water to slip off skins.
