  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour

  • 1/2 cup sugar

  • 1 tsp baking powder

  • 1/8 tsp salt (a generous pinch)

  • 1/8 tsp cinnamon (you could also add nutmeg and/or cardamom as well!)

  • 1/2 cup milk (whole or 2% is fine, almond milk would probably work too!)

  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

The Peaches

  • 2 cups fresh peach slices

  • 1/2 tbs lemon

  • 1 tbs honey

  • 2 tbs sugar

  • 1/4 cup brown sugar

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 375° F

  2. Melt butter in a skillet or pan that you will be using to bake the cobbler

  3. In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon and whisk until well combined. 

  4. Add milk and vanilla extract and stir just until dry ingredients are moistened. Pour batter over the melted butter (do not stir).

  5. In a saucepan add peach slices, lemon juice, honey, sugar, brown sugar to a boil over medium high heat, stirring constantly.

  6. Once the sugar has melted and turned into a syrup and peaches are slightly softened, pour all of the peaches and syrupy liquid over the batter (still do not stir). Sprinkle with more cinnamon or other spices, if desired.

  7. Bake at 375° for ~35-40 minutes or until golden brown.

  8. Serve cobbler warm. It is especially delicious with ice cream!

ENJOY!
