Time 1h35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 large fresh peaches, pitted and cut into eighths
1 lemon, zested and juiced
½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 ¼ cups white sugar
1 ⅓ cups self-rising flour
⅓ cup rolled oats
⅔ cup whole milk
¼ cup white sugar
2 tablespoons cold water, or as needed to wet topping sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place a baking sheet on the rack under the middle rack to catch drips. Generously butter a 2-inch deep (2-quart) baking dish.
  • Place peach sections into prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with lemon juice and zest.
  • Stir butter and sugar together in a mixing bowl. Mix until creamed and resembles a sugary, buttery paste, 4 to 5 minutes. Add oats and flour; stir until flour and oats are incorporated into the butter-sugar mixture and mixture resembles coarse crumbs, 4 to 5 minutes. Pour in milk; stir until mixture is wet and creamy, like a thick spreadable batter, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Drop batter by spoonful on top of the peaches. Spread batter evenly over the surface of the peaches. Sprinkle 1/4 cup sugar on the batter. Spritz with water until sugar is wet and surface glistens.
  • Bake in preheated oven on middle rack until browned and crispy, about 45 minutes. Let cool at least 30 minutes before serving.

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 cups fresh peaches - peeled, pitted, and sliced
1/8 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1 cup white sugar
1 cup water
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 cup white sugar
1 1/2 cups self-rising flour
1 1/2 cups milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Combine peaches, Chinese five-spice powder, and lemon zest in a bowl.
  • Stir sugar and water together in saucepan pan over medium heat until simmering, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in peach mixture; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Combine sugar and self-rising flour in a large bowl. Pour in milk; whisk to form a smooth batter.

  • Gently place peaches and syrup on top of batter. As the cobbler bakes, they will sink down into the batter.
  • Bake until syrup is bubbling and crust has risen and is golden brown, about 50 minutes.

Tips:

  • To achieve the perfect balance of sweetness and tanginess, select ripe and juicy peaches. Look for peaches that are fragrant and have a slight give when gently pressed.
  • For a crispy and golden-brown cobbler topping, use a combination of all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. The butter should be cold and cut into small pieces to create a flaky texture.
  • Before pouring the cobbler batter over the peaches, sprinkle a mixture of sugar and cinnamon over the fruit. This will enhance the flavor and create a delicious caramelized topping.
  • Bake the cobbler in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 45-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the juices are bubbling.
  • Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the topping to set.
  • Serve the cobbler warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a dollop of crème fraîche for an extra decadent dessert.
