Ingredients
Ingredients for the peach cobbler filling
- 4 cups peaches ripe and fresh, peeled and sliced - (or two 28 oz. canned peaches, drained)
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon ginger minced
- ¼ cup water cold
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
Ingredients for the cobbler batter
- 2 cups Bisquick *See the notes below for how to make homemade Bisquick from scratch
- 1 cup milk
- ¾ cup sugar granulated
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup butter melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place the butter in the baking dish and then place the dish in the oven to melt the butter while the oven is preheating.
- Remove the melted butter from the oven after a few minutes and set it aside.
- Peel and slice the peaches into quarters, and then halve the quartered peach slices. (If using canned peaches, use a colander to drain the peach juice before slicing them).
- In a medium-sized bowl, mix the ingredients for the peach filling: peaches, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
- Add the cornstarch to the cold water and stir until smooth.
- Pour the cornstarch mixture into the peach mixture.
- Stir the peach mixture to combine the ingredients and then set aside.
- In a second medium-sized bowl, combine the cobbler batter ingredients: Bisquick, milk, sugar, and vanilla.
- Pour the Bisquick mixture over the melted butter in the baking pan.
- Pour the peach mixture evenly over the batter. Do not stir—the batter will rise around the peaches as the cobbler bakes.
- Bake for 50–60 minutes, until the cobbler is golden brown and the batter is baked through.
- Test a doughy area near the center with a toothpick. It should come out without wet, raw batter. Don't test through a peach or syrupy pocket, which won't give you an accurate read on the crust.
- Serve Southern peach cobbler warm, and enjoy!
