Golden Harvest Peach Cobbler

Nothing says the end of summer quite like a warm, golden peach cobbler. Sweet, juicy peaches are baked beneath a fluffy, buttery topping for a comforting dessert that’s perfect for September gatherings. Serve it fresh out of the oven with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and you’ve got a crowd-pleaser that celebrates the best of the season.

INGREDIENTS

Peach Filling

• 6–7 ripe peaches (about 6 cups), peeled and sliced
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• ¼ tsp nutmeg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 2 tsp cornstarch (to thicken)

Cobbler Topping

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ¼ tsp salt
• 1 stick (½ cup) unsalted butter, melted
• ¾ cup milk (whole milk or 2% works best)

Optional: vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for serving

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly butter a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir until peaches are coated and set aside.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
4. Stir in milk, vanilla, and melted butter until just combined to form a batter.
5. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
6. Spoon the peach mixture (and juices) over the batter—don’t stir. The batter will rise around the fruit as it bakes.
7. Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the peaches are bubbly.
8. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.

This peach cobbler combines the best of both worlds—juicy fruit filling and a golden, biscuit-like topping. The cinnamon and nutmeg add a warm, cozy touch that makes it perfect for the transition from summer to fall.
