Then, stir in 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. These flavors will warm your soul. Finally, coat a baking dish with 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter. This helps prevent sticking. For the crumble topping, gather 1 cup of all-purpose flour. This creates a great base. Add 1/2 cup of old-fashioned rolled oats. They give the topping a nice texture. Mix in another 1/2 cup of packed brown sugar. It complements the peaches well. Next, sprinkle in 1/4 teaspoon of fine sea salt. This enhances all the flavors.

Next, take your ripe peaches and slice them thin. The lemon juice adds brightness. In a bowl, mix the peaches with brown sugar. This will give the dessert a rich sweetness.

Pro Tips Choose Ripe Peaches: For the best flavor and sweetness, select peaches that are slightly soft to the touch and have a fragrant aroma. Experiment with Spices: Feel free to add a pinch of ginger or cardamom to the peach mixture for an extra layer of flavor. Use Cold Butter: Ensure your butter is chilled when making the crumble topping. This will help create a flakier texture. Serve Warm: This cobbler is best enjoyed warm. Reheat leftovers in the oven for a few minutes to restore that fresh-baked quality! {{image_4}} You can switch up the fruit in this cobbler. Instead of peaches, try using blueberries or cherries. Both fruits add a sweet burst of flavor. If you're feeling adventurous, mix different fruits together. A blend of peaches and cherries creates a tasty twist. For those who need gluten-free treats, this cobbler can still shine. Use gluten-free flour in the crumble topping. Make sure all your ingredients are certified gluten-free. This way, everyone can enjoy the dish without worry. You can easily make this cobbler vegan. Replace the butter with coconut oil or use vegan butter. This keeps the rich taste without dairy.

Store it in the fridge. It’s best to enjoy it within 3-4 days for the best taste. The flavors will stay bright during this time. For reheating, I suggest using the oven. This method helps keep the topping crisp. Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and warm it for about 10-15 minutes. You can use the microwave, but it might make the topping soft. If you want a soft texture, the microwave is fine. If you want to save your cobbler for later, freeze it before baking. Wrap it well to prevent freezer burn. When you’re ready to bake, thaw it overnight in the fridge. This way, you can enjoy a homemade taste anytime! You can tell the cobbler is done by checking the top. It should be golden brown and bubbly. When you see the juices bubbling around the edges, it's time to take it out. This shows that the fruit is cooked and the topping is crisp.

Just keep both parts in separate containers until you are ready to bake. This way, you save time and still enjoy a warm dessert. Fresh peach cobbler pairs well with many toppings.

Ingredients
  

  • 5 pieces ripe peaches, pitted and thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 0.5 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 0.5 cup packed brown sugar
  • 0.25 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 0.5 cup chilled unsalted butter, cubed
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Use a paper towel or brush to grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with the unsalted butter, ensuring even coverage.
  • In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches with the lemon juice, brown sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Gently toss the ingredients together until the peaches are well coated and the mixture is evenly blended.
  • Pour the peach mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly to create a uniform layer.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, salt, and ground nutmeg. Mix well to incorporate the dry ingredients.
  • Add the chilled, cubed butter to the bowl with the dry ingredients. Using your fingertips or a pastry cutter, work the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs – some larger clumps are fine for texture.
  • Evenly sprinkle the crumble topping over the peach mixture in the baking dish, ensuring full coverage. Bake in your preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is a golden brown and the peach juices are bubbling around the edges.
  • Once baked, remove the cobbler from the oven and allow it to cool for approximately 10 minutes prior to serving, letting the flavors meld.
