For the peach filling:

• 6 cups fresh or canned peaches, peeled and sliced

• 3/4 cup granulated sugar

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)

• 1 tbsp cornstarch (for thickening, optional if using fresh juicy peaches)

For the cobbler topping:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven:

   • Set to 350°F (175°C).

2. Prepare the peach filling:

   • In a large bowl, combine peaches, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and cornstarch.

   • Stir until peaches are well coated.

   • Pour into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.

3. Make the cobbler batter:

   • In another bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

   • Stir in milk, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.

4. Assemble the cobbler:

   • Pour the batter evenly over the peaches. Do not stir; the batter will rise around the fruit as it bakes.

5. Bake:

   • Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the batter comes out clean.

6. Serve:

   • Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Tips for Perfect Peach Cobbler

• Fresh vs canned peaches: Fresh peaches give more flavor; canned peaches can be used in a pinch—drain slightly to avoid excess liquid.

• Extra buttery top: Brush melted butter over the batter before baking for a richer crust.

• Sweetness adjustment: Taste peaches and adjust sugar based on their natural sweetness.

I can also give a quick skillet version that cooks in under 30 minutes and gives a slightly crispier buttery top.
