Description
A warm Southern caramel peach cobbler made with canned peaches, buttery crisp topping, cinnamon, vanilla, and a rich syrupy peach filling.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 29-ounce cans peaches in heavy syrup, using syrup from only 1 can
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar, adjusted to taste
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 small pinch ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Pour one full can of peaches with its syrup into a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Drain the second can of peaches and add only the peaches to the baking dish.
- Add 5 tablespoons melted butter, lemon juice, vanilla extract, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1/8 teaspoon salt to the peaches.
- Stir gently until the peaches and syrup combine.
- In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, 1 1/2 cups sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Sprinkle the flour mixture evenly over the peaches.
- Smooth the flour mixture gently with clean fingers or the back of a spoon, but do not press it into the peaches.
- Drizzle 1 cup melted butter evenly over the flour topping.
- Bake for 15 minutes at 400°F.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F and bake for about 1 hour, or until the topping turns crisp and golden brown.
- Let the cobbler cool for 30 to 60 minutes before serving.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream, if desired.
Notes
- Use the syrup from only one can of peaches so the filling does not turn too loose.
- For fresh peaches, use firm ripe peaches, slice them thickly, and adjust sugar to taste.
- Do not press the flour topping into the fruit because the crust may turn dense.
- Bake until the top looks golden brown and crisp.
- Cover leftovers and store at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
