Our Favorite Peach Cobbler
 
Prep time
Cook time
 
An excellent recipe adapted from Barefeet In The Kitchen. I increased the cobbler ingredients giving plenty of good biscuit-y topping.
Serves: 12-16
Ingredients
Peach Filling Ingredients:
  • 8 to 10 cups fresh peaches, peeled, pitted and sliced into thin wedges.*
  • ¼ cup white sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoon cornstarch
Topping Ingredients:
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup white sugar
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 sticks unsalted butter, chilled and cut into pieces (1 cup)
  • ¾ cup boiling water
Cinnamon Sugar Topping Ingredients:
  • ¼ cup white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Optional:
  • Whipped cream
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Grease a large baking pan (12"x15")**.
  2. In a small bowl, combine all the dry ingredients for the peach filling. Stir to combine and set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the peaches and the lemon juice and then add the dry ingredients. Stir well to coat evenly and then pour into the large baking pan.
  4. Bake the peach mixture in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. While the peaches are baking, combine the dry topping ingredients and whisk to combine. Blend in the chilled butter pieces, using a pastry blender or your fingertips.
  5. Stir in the boiling water, just until combined.
  6. Remove peaches from the oven and drop the topping over them in spoonfuls. (I use my small cookie scoop and it works great.) Sprinkle the cobbler topping with the cinnamon/sugar mixture.
  7. Bake until the crust is golden and a toothpick inserted into the crust comes out clean, about 30 minutes.
  8. Serve warm or at room temperature, adding a dollop of whip cream.
Notes
When in season, I freeze fresh peaches in lemon juice and a light sugar syrup. Slightly thawed, they work well in this recipe.

* The original recipe calls for a 9" x 13" pan, but it will over-flow and make a mess. If you don't have an extra large baking pan, consider using two smaller pans and dividing up the cobbler.
