Ingredients

2 peaches cored and sliced (do not remove the peels that’s the best part) - Ripe peaches - Choose peaches that are firm yet ripe for the best flavor and texture.
¼ cup All-purpose flour - This will form the base of the buttery crust.
2 tbsp Butter - Use unsalted butter for a rich and creamy taste.
¼ cup Sugar - Sweeten the peaches and the crust with granulated sugar.
½ tsp Baking powder - This will give the crust a light and fluffy texture.
½ tsp Cinnamon - Add a hint of warmth and spice to enhance the flavor of the peaches.
2 tbsp Heavy whipping cream
pinch of salt

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish.
Peel and slice the peaches, removing the pits. Place the sliced peaches in a bowl and toss them with sugar, heavy whipping cream and a pinch of cinnamon. Set aside to macerate for about 15 minutes.
In a separate bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Pour the macerated peaches into the greased baking dish, spreading them evenly. Sprinkle the flour mixture over the peaches, covering them completely.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the peaches are bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Tips and Tricks for Making the Perfect Peach Cobbler

Creating the perfect peach cobbler requires a few tips and tricks to ensure the best results. Here are some suggestions to elevate your peach cobbler game:

Use ripe, juicy peaches: The flavor of the peaches is crucial to the overall taste of the cobbler. Choose peaches that are fragrant, firm, and ripe for the best results.
Adjust the sweetness: Taste the peaches before adding sugar to determine their sweetness. Adjust the amount of sugar accordingly to achieve the desired level of sweetness.
Add a touch of lemon juice: If the peaches are not very sweet, a squeeze of lemon juice can help enhance their natural flavors.
Experiment with spices: While cinnamon is the classic choice, feel free to experiment with other spices like nutmeg or cardamom to add a unique twist to your cobbler.
Don't overmix the crust: When combining the ingredients for the crust, be careful not to overmix. The butter should be incorporated just enough to create a crumbly texture.
