Fresh Peach Cobbler
Description
This Fresh Peach Cobbler is the ultimate comfort food, featuring a luscious filling of ripe peaches simmered with sugar, cornstarch, and warm spices until thick and glossy. The fruit base is crowned with a drop-biscuit topping that bakes up golden brown and tender, creating a perfect contrast between the hot, juicy filling and the soft crust. Its a rustic, homemade treat that tastes like summer in every bite. Ideal for family dinners, potlucks, or a leisurely weekend breakfast, this cobbler is easy to assemble with pantry staples. Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an indulgent finish that brings everyone to the table.Ingredients
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 400F (200C).
-
In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup sugar, cornstarch, and ground nutmeg.
-
Stir in the sliced peaches and lemon juice.
-
Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil.
-
Boil and stir for 1 minute to fully cook the cornstarch, then remove from heat.
-
Pour the hot peach mixture into an ungreased 2-quart casserole dish or baking dish.
-
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, baking powder, and salt.
-
Add the shortening (or cold cubed butter) to the flour mixture and cut it in with a fork or pastry cutter until the texture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Stir in the milk just until the dough comes together into a soft ball.
-
Drop the dough by heaping tablespoons (6 to 8 dollops) evenly over the hot peach filling in the casserole dish.
-
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling around the edges.
-
Allow to cool slightly before serving warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
