Ingredients

Scale
  • 5–6 ripe peaches, peeled and sliced (about 4 cups)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for peach filling)
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick), browned
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for topping)
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup whole milk (can substitute almond or oat milk)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Peel, pit, and slice 5-6 ripe peaches to yield about 4 cups. Toss them in a large bowl with 1/2 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Set aside to macerate.
  3. In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt 1/2 cup unsalted butter. Stir frequently until it foams and turns golden brown with a nutty aroma (about 4-6 minutes). Remove from heat immediately.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup flour, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  5. In another small bowl, beat together 1/2 cup whole milk and 1 large egg. Slowly pour the browned butter into the wet mixture, whisking to combine.
  6. Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients just until combined; do not overmix. The batter will be thick but pourable.
  7. Pour the peach mixture with its juices into the prepared baking dish. Dollop the batter over the peaches in spoonfuls, allowing some peach juice to peek through.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the peach filling bubbles around the edges.
  9. Let the cobbler rest for about 10 minutes to thicken the juices.
  10. Serve warm with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Use medium heat and stir frequently when browning butter to avoid burning. Do not overmix the batter to keep the topping tender and cakey. If topping browns too fast, tent with foil halfway through baking. For a thicker filling, add extra cornstarch. Frozen peaches can be used if thawed and drained. For gluten-free, substitute flour with almond or oat flour and use dairy-free milk and vegan butter for vegan adaptation.
