Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups (900 g) fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (or thawed frozen peaches, drained)
  • 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, for browning
  • 1 cup (120 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar, divided
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3/4 cup (180 ml) whole milk (2% milk can be used)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice about 6 cups (900 g) of ripe peaches. Toss them with 1/4 cup (50 g) sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a bowl. Set aside for about 10 minutes to macerate.
  2. Place 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir frequently as it melts, then foams and browns, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat immediately and let cool slightly.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup (120 g) all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup (150 g) sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Add 3/4 cup (180 ml) milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and the cooled brown butter. Mix just until combined.
  4. Pour the batter into a greased 9×9-inch (23×23 cm) baking dish, spreading evenly. Spoon the peach mixture (including juices) evenly over the batter without stirring.
  5. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 40-45 minutes until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the batter comes out clean.
  6. Let the cobbler rest for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow juices to thicken.
  7. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.

Notes

Watch the butter carefully when browning to avoid burning; remove from heat as soon as it turns golden and smells nutty. Do not overmix the batter to keep the topping tender. Let peaches macerate for at least 10 minutes for best flavor and juiciness. Rest the cobbler after baking to thicken juices. Frozen peaches can be used if fresh are unavailable; thaw and drain excess liquid. For gluten-free, use a gluten-free flour blend with xanthan gum. For vegan, substitute butter and milk with vegan alternatives.
