Ingredients
  

For the Peach Filling:

6 cups ripe peaches, peeled and sliced

1 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon cornstarch

For the Cobbler Topping:

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

1 cup milk

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Serving:

Vanilla ice cream (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Peaches: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches with 1 cup of granulated sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and cornstarch. Gently toss the mixture until the peaches are evenly coated. Allow the mixture to sit for about 15 minutes, so the flavors meld and juices begin to release.

    Preheat the Oven: As the peaches are resting, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking.

      Make the Cobbler Topping: In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, 1 cup of sugar, baking powder, and salt until well blended. Gradually add the milk, melted butter, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter will have small lumps, which is perfect.

        Assemble the Cobbler: Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Pour the peach mixture (including its juices) evenly into the dish. Then, carefully pour the cobbler batter over the peaches, ensuring the fruit is mostly covered. Do not stir; the batter will rise and create a delightful topping as it bakes.

          Bake the Cobbler: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes. The cobbler is done when the topping is a lovely golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

            Cool the Cobbler: Once baked, remove the cobbler from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 15-20 minutes. This cooling time helps the juices to settle, enhancing the texture.

              Serve: Spoon generous portions of the warm peach cobbler into bowls and top each serving with a generous scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream. Serve immediately for the ultimate comforting dessert experience!
