Ingredients
- 6 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup granulated sugar, divided
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Optional: 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches with 1/2 cup of sugar. If desired, add the lemon juice for a hint of tartness. Set aside to let the flavors meld.
- In another bowl, mix the gluten-free flour, remaining 1/2 cup of sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter until you have a smooth batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Spoon the peaches and their juices over the batter. Sprinkle with cinnamon for an extra touch of flavor.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the peaches are bubbling.
- Let the cobbler cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy it warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
