Can I use frozen peaches for this peach cobbler recipe?

Yes, you absolutely can! If using frozen peaches, make sure to thaw them completely and drain any excess liquid before tossing them with the sugar and spices. This prevents your peach cobbler from becoming too watery.

How do I prevent my peach cobbler from being watery?

The key to a non-watery peach cobbler is cornstarch in the filling. It acts as a thickening agent for the peach juices. Also, ensure you drain any excess liquid if using thawed frozen peaches. Baking it until the filling is visibly bubbling and slightly thickened is also crucial.

What's the best way to store leftover peach cobbler?

Store any leftover peach cobbler in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. You can reheat individual servings in the microwave or oven until warm. The topping might lose some crispness, but the flavor will still be delicious.

Can I make this peach cobbler recipe ahead of time?

You can prepare the peach filling and the dry ingredients for the topping a day ahead. Store the peach mixture in the refrigerator and the dry topping mix at room temperature. When ready to bake, combine the wet ingredients with the dry topping mix, assemble, and bake as directed. It's best baked fresh, but this helps save time!

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish or a 10-inch cast-iron skillet.
Step 2: In a large bowl, gently toss the sliced peaches with 1/2 cup granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Mix until the peaches are well coated.
Step 3: Pour the peach mixture into the prepared baking dish. Dot the top of the peaches with the 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter cut into small pieces.
Step 4: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Step 5: Cut in the cold, cubed unsalted butter using a pastry blender, two knives, or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 6: Gradually add the milk, stirring just until the dry ingredients are moistened. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 7: Drop spoonfuls of the cobbler topping over the peach mixture. Sprinkle the topping with the remaining 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar.
Step 8: Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges.
Step 9: Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 15-20 minutes before serving. This allows the filling to set up nicely.

Notes

For best results, use fresh, ripe peaches. If using frozen peaches, thaw and drain them well. This cobbler is delicious served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
