Description
A warm old school Brown Sugar Peach Cobbler made with fresh peaches, brown sugar batter, cinnamon, vanilla, and a rich maple butter drizzle.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 stick salted butter, cubed
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup light or dark brown sugar, divided
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 5 to 6 peaches, cut into 8 wedges each
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 4 tablespoons salted butter, for maple butter
- 1/4 cup maple syrup, for maple butter
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Place the cubed stick of salted butter in a 9×13-inch baking dish and set the dish in the oven for about 10 minutes, or until the butter melts.
- In a mixing bowl, stir together the flour, 3/4 cup brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and kosher salt.
- Add the milk and vanilla, then stir just until the batter comes together.
- In a separate bowl, toss the peach wedges with the remaining 1/4 cup brown sugar and 2 tablespoons maple syrup.
- Carefully remove the hot baking dish from the oven and layer half of the peaches over the melted butter.
- Pour the batter evenly over the peaches, but do not stir.
- Layer the remaining peaches over the batter.
- Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are golden brown.
- Meanwhile, combine 4 tablespoons salted butter and 1/4 cup maple syrup in a small saucepan.
- Bring the maple butter to a boil and cook for 2 minutes, then remove it from the heat.
- Serve the cobbler warm or at room temperature with vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of maple butter.
Notes
- Do not stir the batter into the melted butter after pouring it into the baking dish.
- Use ripe but firm peaches for the best texture.
- Dark brown sugar gives the cobbler a deeper caramel flavor.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Reheat portions in the microwave or in a 325°F oven until warm.
