Ingredients for Spiced Peach Cobbler

Peaches: The star of the show, ripe peaches provide natural sweetness and juiciness. If peaches aren’t in season, you can use frozen ones.

Granulated Sugar and Brown Sugar: These work together to sweeten the cobbler just right. The brown sugar adds a hint of molasses flavor that deepens the richness.

Cinnamon and Nutmeg: These spices give the cobbler its warm, comforting aroma and flavor. A little goes a long way!

Lemon Juice: A splash of lemon juice brightens up the peach flavor and balances the sweetness.

Vanilla Extract: Adds a lovely aromatic depth that complements the spices and peaches.

All-Purpose Flour and Rolled Oats: The flour forms the base of the batter, while oats add texture and a bit of nuttiness.

Unsalted Butter: Melted butter lends richness and helps brown the topping.

Baking Powder: This gives the batter a light, fluffy texture.

Salt: Enhances all the flavors and balances the sweetness.

Whole Milk: Adds moisture and helps create a smooth batter.

Cornstarch: Thickens the peach filling, ensuring it’s not too runny when baked.

Water: Used to dissolve the cornstarch before cooking.

Tips & Tricks

If your peaches are very juicy, add an extra tablespoon of cornstarch to prevent a runny filling.
For an extra crunchy topping, sprinkle a handful of chopped nuts over the batter before baking.
Use a clear baking dish if you have one, so you can easily check when the edges are bubbling and ready.

Serving Suggestions

Enjoy your Spiced Peach Cobbler warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. For a more decadent treat, drizzle a bit of caramel sauce on top. If you’re serving this in the morning, pair it with a hot cup of Earl Grey tea for a comforting breakfast.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use canned peaches?: Yes, but make sure to drain them well and adjust the sugar if they are already sweetened.
How do I store leftovers?: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat gently in the oven before serving.
Can I make this ahead of time?: Yes, you can prepare the peach mixture and the batter separately, then combine and bake just before serving.

Spiced Peach Cobbler Recipe Walkthrough

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your cobbler will bake evenly as soon as it goes in.

Next, grab a large bowl and combine your sliced peaches with the granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Stir gently so that the peaches get an even coating of all that sugary, spiced goodness.

In a small saucepan, mix the cornstarch and water. Cook over medium heat until it thickens up, then pour it over the peaches and give it another stir to combine everything well.

Pour the peach mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly so every bite will be packed with flavor.

In another bowl, mix together the flour, oats, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the melted butter and milk to form a smooth batter. Pour this batter evenly over the peaches in the baking dish.

Place the dish in your preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes. You'll know it's done when the topping is golden brown and the peaches are bubbling up around the edges.

Once baked, take the cobbler out and let it cool slightly before serving. This will help the juices settle a bit and make it easier to serve.
