Ingredients
- 6 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Prepare the peaches: In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Toss until the peaches are evenly coated. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
- Make the crumble topping: In another bowl, mix the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, and salt. Add the cold cubed butter and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Assemble the cobbler: Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the peach mixture.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peaches are bubbly.
- Serve: Let the cobbler cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Expert Tips
- Peach selection: Use ripe but firm peaches for the best texture and flavor. If fresh peaches are not available, you can use frozen peaches, but thaw and drain them first.
- Butter consistency: Ensure the butter is cold when making the crumble topping. This helps create a crispy, crumbly texture.
- Customize the topping: Add chopped nuts like pecans or almonds to the crumble topping for extra crunch.
- Make ahead: You can prepare the peach filling and crumble topping separately a day ahead. Store them in the refrigerator and assemble just before baking.
FAQ
Can I use canned peaches?
Yes, you can use canned peaches. Drain them well and reduce the sugar slightly, as canned peaches are often sweeter.
How do I store leftovers?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
Can I freeze peach cobbler?
Yes, you can freeze the cobbler before or after baking. If freezing before baking, assemble the cobbler and wrap it tightly in foil. Bake from frozen, adding extra time as needed. If freezing after baking, let it cool completely, wrap tightly, and freeze for up to 3 months.
