Description

A simple, homemade peach cobbler featuring juicy peaches and a crispy, golden, buttery crumble topping. This pantry-friendly dessert is easy to make and perfect for using ripe fruit.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 1.5 kg)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (100g)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (15ml)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (15ml)
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch (15g)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (2g)
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (0.5g)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (120g)
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar (100g)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (50g)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder (5g)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (3g)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (2g)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed (113g)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (5ml)
  • 2 tablespoons extra butter for drizzling (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Peel and slice peaches into half-inch wedges. Toss with 1/2 cup sugar, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Let sit for 10 minutes to draw out juices.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
  4. Add cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or fingers to work butter into flour until coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces form. Stir in vanilla extract.
  5. Pour the peach mixture into a 9×9 inch baking dish and spread evenly.
  6. Spoon the crumble topping loosely over the peaches. Do not press down. Drizzle with extra melted butter if desired.
  7. Place the baking dish on a rimmed baking sheet to catch drips.
  8. Bake for 45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and crispy, and juices are bubbling vigorously. Tent with foil if browning too quickly.
  9. Cool for 15 minutes before serving to allow juices to thicken.

Notes

Use cold butter for a flaky crumble. Let peaches rest with sugar to release juices. Always bake on a baking sheet to catch bubbling juices. Can be made gluten-free with a 1:1 flour blend or dairy-free with coconut oil.
