Cooking Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Prepare the Peaches
Combine the sliced peaches, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice in a bowl. Toss to coat, then pour into the prepared baking dish.
3. Make the Batter
Whisk together the flour, remaining 1/2 cup of sugar, baking powder, and salt in another bowl. Add the milk and melted butter, stirring until just combined.
4. Assemble the Cobbler
Pour the batter over the peach mixture in the baking dish. Do not stir; the batter will rise to form a crust while baking.
5. Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the batter comes out clean.
6. Cool and Serve
Allow the cobbler to cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top!
