Description

This rustic peach cobbler offers a comforting blend of sweet, juicy peaches and a tender, cake-like topping. The filling is thickened with cornstarch and brightened with lemon juice, while the topping provides a soft, slightly crumbly texture that soaks up the fruit juices. Its an easy, old-fashioned dessert that feels homemade and heartfelt. Perfect for summer dinners, potlucks, or any occasion where a warm, spoonable treat is desired. The aroma of cinnamon and baking fruit fills the kitchen, making it a favorite for families. Serve warm for the best experience, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400F (200C).
  2. In a 2-quart saucepan, combine 1/2 cup sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon.
  3. Add sliced peaches and lemon juice to the saucepan; stir to combine.
  4. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil.
  5. Boil and stir for 1 minute, then remove from heat.
  6. Pour the hot peach mixture into an ungreased 2-quart casserole dish and place in the warm oven to keep hot.
  7. In a large bowl, combine flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  8. Cut shortening into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles fine crumbs.
  9. Stir in milk just until moistened to form a soft dough.
  10. Drop the dough by 6 large spoonfuls onto the hot peach mixture in the casserole.
  11. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and cooked through.
  12. Serve warm.
