Homemade Easy Peach Cobbler Recipe

easy peach cobbler

I sure do like peach cobbler.  It’s something my husband says often as a hint that I should make it.  Patience. Getting great peaches and allowing them to ripen is the key.  The peaches tend to be green when we buy them.  Allowing them to sit for a few days helps make this easy peach cobbler.

If you do not have fresh peaches, you can use canned, just just about 1/3 of the juice from the can.  And get the can that is in it’s own juices.  You will be adding enough sugar to this recipe.

Serve with a little ice cream and you’ve got peaches and cream!

You can serve dinner and have the cobbler cooking in the oven while you are eating.  A great dish we like to eat warm (or warmed up).

Instructions
preparing peaches

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F
Take your peaches and peel, pit and slice them. Slices can be how you slice an apple. Or open cans and drain.
In a large bowl, mix 1/4 cup white sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Add in peaches and toss them in the bowl to coat.
Take an 8×8 pan and butter the bottom and sides
Place peaches into your greased pan.  You can be fancy and lay in a pattern or get them all in there covering the bottom.
Pour the juices from the bowl over the peaches.

Tips for making cobbler

• If you don’t have fresh peaches, you can use canned (in own juice or light syrup)
• The butter for the topping does not have to be hard, it can be soft.  It will be easier to mix
• Make early in the morning as the oven temp is pretty high
• Allow the cobbler to cool and set before eating
• Use the same bowl for the peaches and then the dry mix (rinse and wipe down), less dishes
