Ingredients

Scale

Peach Filling

  • 56 large fresh yellow peaches, sliced (about 5 cups, or 750900 grams)
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional – see note 1 below)

Cobbler Topping

  • 1/2 cup salted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • a pinch of salt
  • 1/4 cup turbinado sugar (optional, but really nice)
  • whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Smear the bottom of 9×13 pan with a little bit of butter. Add peaches and sugar, and mix directly in the pan.
  2. Mix the butter, sugar, vanilla, flour, baking powder, and salt until a cookie-dough-like batter forms.
  3. Place scoops of the mixture over the top of the peaches. Spread with a spoon or with your fingers – no need for perfection here.
  4. Bake for 30 minutes. At this point it should be juicy and bubbly around the sides – if not, see notes.
  5. Sprinkle the top with turbinado sugar. Bake another 10-15 minutes and then finish with a few minutes under the broiler (475-ish) for a few minutes to get it golden brown and slightly crunchy on top. (Just keep a close eye on it because it can burn quickly.) If it’s not looking saucy, see note 2 below.
  6. To get a thick saucy peach base, let it stand for 20-30 minutes before serving with some vanilla ice cream. But good luck with that. 😅

Notes

  • Make sure the peaches are ripe and juicy for the best flavor.
  • If the cobbler is not looking saucy enough, let it sit for a bit before serving to allow the juices to thicken.
