Calories: 630kcal
Ingredients
- 8 fresh peaches – peeled and sliced into wedges
- ¼ cup white sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- ⅛ tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
- 2 tsp cornstarch
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup white sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 6 Tbsp unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
- ¼ cup boiling water
- 3 Tbsp white sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 F.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine peaches, 1/4 cup white sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 tsp cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Toss to combine well.
- Pour peaches into 2-quart baking dish and bake for 10 minutes at 425.
- While peaches are baking, combine in another large mixing bowl the flour, 1/4 cup white sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Blend butter pieces in well using a pastry blender or fork until the mixture looks like coarse bread crumbs. Stir in water until combined, but do not overmix. Roll mixture out on a floured countertop or cutting board until it’s about 1/4 inch thick and approximately the same size as your baking dish.
- Remove peaches from oven. Lift pastry carefully and lay over peaches.
- Combine 3 Tbsp white sugar and 1 tsp ground cinnamon and sprinkle over the cobbler.
- Return to oven and bake until the topping is golden brown, about 30 minutes.
Notes
It’s ok if your pastry breaks a little or doesn’t fit perfectly over your peaches. You can stretch it a little or tuck it in here and there. Part of the charm of a cobbler is its rustic simplicity!
