A cozy and easy-to-make peach cobbler featuring a nutty brown butter crust and juicy peaches, served best with vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 medium fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 3 pounds / 1.4 kg)
  • 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, for browning
  • 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup (180 ml) milk (whole milk preferred)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your baking dish with a little butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Peel and slice the peaches. Peel by blanching them in boiling water for about 30 seconds, then shocking in ice water. Slice peaches into about 1/2 inch thick pieces and toss with lemon juice, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Let them macerate while you prepare the batter.
  3. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Whisk gently as it foams and then starts to turn golden brown with a nutty aroma (about 3-5 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the browned butter (cooled but still liquid), then stir in milk. Mix until just combined; a few lumps are okay. The batter should be thick but pourable.
  5. Pour the peach mixture (including juices) into the greased baking dish. Spoon the batter evenly over the peaches; it won’t cover completely, which is perfect for a rustic look and crisp edges.
  6. Bake for 40-45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the batter comes out clean. The peach juices should be bubbling around the edges and the crust should smell nutty.
  7. Let the cobbler rest for 10 minutes before serving to allow the juices to thicken.
  8. Serve warm topped with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Watch the butter carefully when browning to avoid burning; remove from heat once golden brown with a nutty aroma. Peeling peaches is recommended for a silky smooth filling but optional. Frozen peaches can be used if thawed and drained well. For a crispier top, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end, watching closely. Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the crust tender.
