Ingredients
  

Peach Filling
  • 3 to 4 pounds fresh peaches Peel and dice for a juicy base.
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar Sweetens the peaches.
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice Brightens the flavor and prevents browning.
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch Thickens the peach filling.
Cobber Topping
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour Provides structure to the topping.
  • 1/2 tablespoon baking powder For leavening, ensuring a light texture.
  • 1/2 teaspoon table salt Balances sweetness.
  • 12 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature Creates a rich, buttery flavor.
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar Sweetens the topping.
  • 1/4 cup milk Adds moisture.
  • 1 large egg Binds the ingredients together.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Enhances the flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Spray a 9 by 13 inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the peaches, 2/3 cup sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Stir well to combine and let rest for 10 minutes.
  4. In another mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Mixing
  1. In a stand mixer, beat the room-temperature butter and 3/4 cup sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Beat in the milk, egg, and vanilla until well combined.
  3. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, beating until just combined.
Assembly and Baking
  1. Pour the peach mixture, along with its juices, into the prepared baking dish.
  2. Drop spoonfuls of the dough on top, spreading it as evenly as possible.
  3. Place in the oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes until the topping is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
Serving
  1. Let sit until warm and serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Use ripe but firm peaches for the best texture. Allowing the peaches to sit lets the natural sugars release, enhancing flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
