Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar plus extra for sprinkling
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 4 cups sliced peaches fresh, frozen, or canned
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F. Pour the melted butter into a 9x13-inch baking dish, ensuring it evenly coats the bottom.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add the milk, whisking until a smooth batter forms.
  • Pour the batter over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not stir—this layering is essential for the cobbler's unique texture.
  • Evenly distribute the sliced peaches over the batter. If desired, sprinkle the peaches with cinnamon and a little extra sugar for added sweetness and flavor.
  • Bake the cobbler for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the batter has risen around the peaches.
  • Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving.
