Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar (for filling)
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for thickening filling)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (for filling)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (for topping)
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar (for topping)
  • Pinch of salt (for topping)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted (for topping)
  • Vanilla bean ice cream (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Prep the Peaches (10 minutes): Peel about 5 cups of ripe peaches and slice into 1/2-inch thick wedges. Toss gently with 1 cup packed brown sugar, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, and a pinch of salt.
  2. Preheat the Oven (5 minutes): Set oven to 375°F (190°C).
  3. Make the Topping (5 minutes): In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 cup packed brown sugar, a pinch of salt, and 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter. Stir until mixture is loosely crumbly.
  4. Assemble the Cobbler (5 minutes): Pour peach mixture evenly into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle the brown sugar topping evenly over the fruit, breaking up any large clumps.
  5. Bake (40-45 minutes): Bake until topping is golden brown and bubbling, about 40 to 45 minutes.
  6. Cool Slightly (10 minutes): Let cobbler rest on a wire rack for about 10 minutes before serving.
  7. Serve Warm with Vanilla Bean Ice Cream: Spoon servings onto plates and top with vanilla bean ice cream.

Notes

If topping browns too fast, tent loosely with foil halfway through baking. For extra flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg to the peach filling. Peeling peaches is easier by scoring an X on the bottom and blanching in boiling water for 30 seconds, then plunging into ice water. Frozen peaches can be used if thawed and drained. For gluten-free, substitute flour with almond or oat flour. For dairy-free, use dairy-free butter and coconut milk ice cream. Leftovers store well in the fridge for 3-4 days; reheat in oven to maintain crispness.
