Ingredients
For the Filling
- 4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (or 2 cans of sliced peaches in syrup, drained) Fresh peaches should be ripe but firm.
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar Can adjust based on sweetness preference.
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
For the Topping
- 1 cup all-purpose flour Can substitute with gluten-free flour blend.
- 1 cup granulated sugar Can adjust based on sweetness preference.
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk Can substitute with almond or oat milk for dairy-free.
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted Can use dairy-free butter alternative.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preparation
- If using fresh peaches, peel and slice them into thin wedges. If using canned peaches, drain the syrup.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the peaches with 1/2 cup sugar, lemon juice, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg (if using). Toss gently to coat the peaches evenly. Set aside.
Topping
- In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Pour in the milk and melted butter, then add another teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until just combined, avoiding over mixing.
Layering
- Place the peach filling in the bottom of a greased crockpot.
- Pour the batter over the peaches evenly. Do not stir.
Cooking
- Cover the crockpot and set it to low for 3 to 4 hours, or on high for 1.5 to 2 hours. The cobbler is done when the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the batter comes out clean.
Serving
- Let the cobbler sit for an additional 30 minutes after cooking. Serve warm, with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream if desired.
Notes
For the best results, choose ripe but firm peaches and avoid overmixing the batter. Adjust sugar according to the sweetness of the peaches, and try variations with other fruits.
