Ingredients

Scale
  • 45 medium peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1½ teaspoons cinnamon
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅓ cup milk (whole or dairy-free alternative)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Peel and slice 4-5 medium peaches. Toss them in a bowl with ½ cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Set aside to macerate.
  3. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt 6 tablespoons unsalted butter. Stir constantly until it foams and turns golden brown with a nutty aroma, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  4. Pour the warm brown butter over the sugared peaches and stir gently to coat.
  5. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup brown sugar, 1½ teaspoons cinnamon, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Add ⅓ cup milk and stir until just combined; batter should be thick but spreadable.
  6. Pour the brown butter peach mixture into an 8×8-inch baking dish, spreading evenly.
  7. Dollop the crumble topping over the peaches in spoonfuls, leaving some gaps.
  8. Bake for 40-45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and peaches are bubbling around the edges.
  9. Let the cobbler cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Watch the butter carefully when browning to avoid burning. If topping browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil halfway through baking. For juicier peaches, toss with 1 tablespoon cornstarch before adding sugar to thicken filling. Let cobbler rest before serving to allow juices to settle. For gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with almond or gluten-free flour blend and use dairy-free milk for a dairy-free version.
