Key Ingredients & Substitutions
All-Purpose Flour: This forms the base for the cobbler’s crust. If you’re looking for a gluten-free option, you can replace it with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.
Sugar: Granulated sugar gives sweetness, but feel free to use brown sugar for a deeper flavor or coconut sugar for a healthier option.
Milk: Whole milk is best for richness. If you prefer plant-based, almond or oat milk would work nicely too.
Butter: Unsalted butter allows better control over the sweetness. You can substitute it with margarine or coconut oil if you’re dairy-free.
Peaches: While canned peaches are straightforward, fresh or frozen peaches can also be used for an even fresher taste. Just adjust the sugar based on their ripeness, as fresh peaches can be less sweet.
How Do You Get a Perfectly Fluffy Cobbler Crust?
Making sure your crust turns out fluffy involves a few key steps. After mixing the batter, it should be somewhat thin—this helps create that lovely texture!
- Don’t stir the batter after pouring it over the butter; you want those layers to stay distinct.
- When you add the peaches, just spoon them on top without mixing. This allows the peaches to sink and blend with the batter as it bakes.
- Keep an eye on the baking time. When the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean, it’s ready to enjoy!
Following these tips will help your cobbler come out just right, making it a hit every time! Enjoy your baking! 🍑
Easy Paula Deen Peach Cobbler
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- A pinch of salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cans (15 oz each) sliced peaches in syrup (undrained)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Ground cinnamon (optional, for sprinkling)
- Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, for serving (optional)
How Much Time Will You Need?
This delicious peach cobbler takes about 15 minutes to prepare and then requires about 40-45 minutes in the oven. After baking, allow it to cool for a few minutes, and you’re ready to serve! The total time is around 1 hour. Perfect for a sweet treat at any time!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures it’s nice and hot for baking your cobbler!
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients:
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Whisk them together until they are well mixed.
3. Add the Milk:
Next, stir in the whole milk. Mix just until combined—don’t worry if there are a few lumps; you want the batter to be somewhat thin.
4. Prepare the Dish:
Pour the melted butter into a 9×13-inch baking dish. Make sure all the melted butter covers the bottom; this will make the crust extra delicious!
5. Add the Batter:
Carefully pour the batter over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not stir it; let it create its own layers.
6. Add the Peaches:
Spoon the canned peaches along with their syrup evenly over the batter. Again, do NOT stir. This allows the peaches to settle down into the batter as it bakes.
7. Season it Up:
If you’d like, sprinkle the vanilla extract and a bit of ground cinnamon over the peaches for added flavor!
8. Bake:
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 40-45 minutes. You want the crust to be golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
9. Cool:
Once it’s baked, let the cobbler cool slightly in the dish before serving. This makes it easier to scoop and serve.
10. Serve & Enjoy:
Serve warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired. Enjoy your cozy, sweet peach cobbler!
This recipe is sure to be a hit at any gathering. Enjoy the warm, buttery goodness of Paula Deen’s Easy Peach Cobbler!
