Equipment
- Peeler: For removing the peach skins easily
- Mixing Bowls: One for the filling and one for the topping
- 9×13-Inch Baking Dish: The perfect size for this cobbler recipe
- Spatula or Spoon: For mixing and spreading the topping
- Measuring Cups and Spoons: To ensure accurate measurements
Ingredients
For the Peach Filling:
- Peaches: 6 cups of peeled and sliced fresh peaches or 4 cups canned peaches, drained
- Sugar: ½ cup granulated sugar adjust for sweetness
- Cornstarch: 2 tablespoons for thickening the filling
- Cinnamon: 1 teaspoon for warm flavor
- Vanilla Extract: 1 teaspoon for depth of flavor
- Lemon Juice: 1 tablespoon to enhance the peaches’ natural sweetness
For the Gluten-Free Topping:
- Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour: 1 cup make sure it contains xanthan gum
- Sugar: ½ cup granulated sugar
- Baking Powder: 1 teaspoon to help the topping rise
- Salt: ¼ teaspoon to balance the flavors
- Milk: ½ cup dairy or plant-based works
- Butter: ¼ cup melted
Instructions
Prepare the Peaches:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- If using fresh peaches, peel and slice them. Place the peaches in a large mixing bowl and toss with sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and lemon juice.
Assemble the Filling:
- Pour the peach mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Make the Topping:
- In a separate bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Stir in the milk and melted butter until a smooth batter forms.
Top the Peaches:
- Spoon the batter over the peach mixture. It doesn’t have to cover every inch—the gaps will allow the juices to bubble through and create a caramelized texture.
Bake:
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling.
Cool and Serve:
- Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving. It’s delicious on its own or topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- Use Ripe Peaches: If using fresh peaches, make sure they’re ripe and fragrant for the best flavor.
- Adjust Sweetness: Depending on how sweet your peaches are, you may need more or less sugar.
- Gluten-Free Flour Blend: Ensure your blend includes xanthan gum or guar gum for a cohesive topping.
- Don’t Overmix: Stir the batter just until combined to keep the topping light and fluffy.
- Serve Warm: Peach cobbler is best enjoyed warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate dessert.
