When it comes to summertime desserts, nothing beats a delicious and easy oven peach cobbler. It’s the perfect way to savor the flavors of summer with fresh peaches, butter, and spices all cooked to perfection. The topping is made from pantry ingredients you probably already have on hand, making it a quick and easy dessert to whip up any time.
One of the great things about this recipe is that you can easily substitute the peaches with other fruits depending on the time of year. Whether you choose to use blueberries, raspberries, or even apples, the result will be a delightful dessert that’s perfect for any season.
The secret to this recipe is the balance of flavors. The tangy lemon juice pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the peaches, creating a delicious harmony of flavors. And when you add a dollop of fresh whipped cream or cold vanilla ice cream on top, it truly becomes the perfect way to end a summer night.
To make this oven peach cobbler, all you need to do is preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Then, place a 13 by 9-inch baking dish in the oven with 1/2 cup (1 stick) of butter to melt. In a large bowl, mix 1 cup of cake or all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Stir in 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of whole milk to form the batter.
Carefully remove the hot baking dish with melted butter from the oven and pour the batter into the dish. Spoon 2 cups of sliced and peeled peaches (along with any peach juices) evenly over the batter.
Bake for approximately 30 minutes or until the batter has risen and turned golden brown on top. Once it’s done, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
If there were a ratio of ease to popularity, this would be voted –the best peach dessert there is. If peaches are out of season, use the very best brand of frozen peaches and cut back on the amount of sugar. You may use self-rising cake flour if you omit the baking powder and salt.
