  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/3 cup whole milk (or buttermilk)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Optional:

  • Extra peach slices for decoration
  • Powdered sugar for dusting
  • Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream (for serving)

🥣 Instructions & Method:

✅ Step 1: Prepare the Peaches

  1. Peel and slice the peaches (if using fresh). If using canned, drain them well.
  2. In a large bowl, toss peaches with sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, cornstarch, and vanilla.
  3. Let the mixture sit for 10–15 minutes to release juices.

✅ Step 2: Preheat Oven

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Lightly grease a deep 9-inch pie dish or baking dish.

✅ Step 3: Make the Cobbler Dough

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. Cut in the butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Stir in milk and vanilla extract to form a soft dough. Do not overmix.

✅ Step 4: Assemble the Pie

  1. Pour the peach filling into the greased baking dish.
  2. Drop spoonfuls of cobbler dough over the peach mixture.
  3. Lightly flatten dough for a rustic look. Dot with small pieces of butter.

✅ Step 5: Bake

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and peaches are bubbling.

✅ Step 6: Cool and Serve

  • Let cool for 10–15 minutes before serving.
  • Top with powdered sugar, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or whipped cream if desired.

📜 History of Peach Cobbler:

Peach cobbler originated in the American South in the 19th century. Settlers who lacked proper ovens made cobblers by stewing fruit and covering it with biscuit or dumpling dough, then baking it in cast-iron pans over open fires.

As peaches became more abundant, especially in Georgia, cobblers gained popularity at picnics, family gatherings, and church suppers. Today, peach cobbler stands as a symbol of Southern hospitality and tradition.

🍑 Benefits of Peaches & Cobbler:

  • Rich in Vitamins: Peaches provide vitamins A, C, and E, essential for immune function and skin health.
  • Fiber-Rich: Supports digestion and helps regulate blood sugar.
  • Comforting Carbs: The cobbler topping offers satisfying energy.
  • Mood Lifter: The warm spices and nostalgic flavors bring joy and comfort.

🏗️ Formation & Texture:

The cobbler is formed in layers:

  1. Juicy Peach Base: Soft, syrupy peaches flavored with spices.
  2. Buttery Biscuit Top: Golden, fluffy, slightly crisp with tender insides.
  3. Optional Extras: Caramel drizzle, powdered sugar, or a creamy scoop on top.

When baked, the top becomes a light crust with deep craggy pockets that hold the peach syrup — a perfect contrast of textures.
