Absolutely! Here’s a classic old-time oven peach cobbler recipe — warm, comforting, and just like grandma used to make. This version uses simple ingredients and a traditional baked topping.
Old-Time Oven Peach Cobbler
Ingredients (Serves 6–8)
For the filling:
- 6–8 fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (or 2 cans, 29 oz each, drained)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg (optional)
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tsp cornstarch (for slightly thickened filling)
For the topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- Optional: pinch of cinnamon sugar for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat oven: 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare filling:
- In a bowl, mix peaches, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, vanilla, and cornstarch.
- Pour into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Prepare topping:
- In a separate bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Stir in milk and melted butter until smooth.
- Assemble cobbler:
- Pour the batter evenly over the peaches — do not stir; the topping will rise around the fruit as it bakes.
- Bake: 40–45 minutes, until the topping is golden and set, and the filling is bubbly.
- Cool slightly before serving — delicious warm with ice cream or whipped cream.
Tips for Old-Time Flavor
- Use fresh, ripe peaches if possible for the best flavor.
- For extra richness, add a teaspoon of vanilla or almond extract to the topping.
- Sprinkle a little cinnamon sugar on top before baking for a crisp, sweet crust.
- Leftovers taste amazing reheated — the flavors deepen overnight.
