Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup Challenge butter
  • 4 cups peeled and sliced ripe peaches
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 1/3 cups self-rising flour
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Peeler
  • Baking Sheet
  • Chef's Knife
  • Frying Pan

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Make sure the temperature is just right so that the cobbler can bake evenly and develop that beautiful golden color.
  2. Take your stick of butter and place it in a 9x13-inch pan. Put the pan in the oven to melt the butter. Keep a close eye on it to ensure the butter doesn’t burn. You want it to melt beautifully, creating a luscious base for your cobbler.
  3. While the butter is melting, take your freshly peeled and sliced peaches and toss them together with the brown sugar, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, and cinnamon in a mixing bowl. The sugar will help draw out the juices from the peaches, creating a sweet, syrupy filling.
  4. In another medium bowl, stir together the self-rising flour, the remaining granulated sugar, milk, vanilla, and salt. Mix until all ingredients are combined and you have a smooth batter.
  5. Once your butter has melted, carefully remove the pan from the oven. You’ll love the aroma of melted butter filling the air. Pour the batter into the pan over the melted butter, but do not stir.
  6. Now, spoon the peach mixture evenly on top of the batter. The peaches should be placed gently to ensure they don’t sink too far into the batter.
  7. Place the pan in the oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes. Keep an eye on it as it bakes; you want the cobbler to turn a beautiful golden brown and set nicely. You’ll know it’s done when the top is bubbly and has a slight crust.
  8. Once baked, remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool slightly. Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top, allowing the melty ice cream to complement the warm flavors of the Easy Southern Peach Cobbler.

Notes

To make your experience with the Easy Southern Peach Cobbler even better, here are some helpful tips:
  • Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for up to three days. Reheat in the oven for the best texture.
  • Freezing: You can freeze the uncooked cobbler before baking. Just assemble it and cover it tightly, then bake from frozen, adding extra time to the baking process.
  • Variations: Feel free to mix in berries, cherries, or even nuts for a unique twist on the classic recipe.
  • Serving size: This recipe serves eight, making it perfect for gatherings or family dinners.
  • Pairing drinks: Serve with sweet tea or lemonade for a refreshing complement to the dessert.
