Ingredients
  

4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (or use canned peaches, well-drained)

1 cup granulated sugar, divided

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon fine salt

1 cup whole milk

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Creamy vanilla ice cream, for serving

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cobbler.

    Prepare the Peaches: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches with 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, the lemon juice, and ground cinnamon. Gently toss the peaches until they are well-coated. Allow the mixture to sit for approximately 10 minutes so the natural juices of the peaches can meld with the flavors.

      Make the Batter: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar, baking powder, and salt until combined. Gradually add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; it’s okay if the batter is slightly lumpy but should not have dry flour pockets.

        Assemble the Cobbler: Carefully pour the batter into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, ensuring it’s evenly spread across the bottom. Avoid stirring. Next, spoon the peach mixture over the batter, including all the juices. Do not stir again; the batter will rise around the peaches during baking.

          Bake: Place the baking dish into the preheated oven and bake for about 40-45 minutes. The cobbler is ready when the top is beautifully golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

            Serve: After baking, allow the cobbler to cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm, topped with a generous scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream on each portion for an indulgent touch.
