Fresh Peach Cobbler (The Upside Down Version) image

Adapted from FoodTV's Sara Moulton. I've tweaked the fruit part quite a bit. In the summer, when we harvest peaches and blueberries, I make a large batch of the fruit part. I freeze it in recipe-quantity and then thaw for year-round cobbler. This recipe starts upside down with the cobbler dough on the bottom of the pan. The dough will migrate to the top and make a true cobbler crust. My kids like to watch thru the oven door as this happens. If you love crust, make a half batch of the fruit and a full batch of the dough. Cook in a 9x13 pan and you'll have just enough fruit (1/4 inch) to go with the crispy goodness. It's wonderful warm over vanilla icecream. I'll admit to eating it cold (leftover) for breakfast when no one is looking. If I use blueberries, I use 1 cup blueberries to 3 cups peaches. I'm sure it would work with other fruits.

Time 1h

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 cups peeled pitted and thinly sliced fresh peaches (5 to 6 medium peaches)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
kosher salt
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon orange-flavored liqueur
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 pinch salt
1 cup milk

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan, combine the peaches, lemon juice, cup of sugar, and pinch of salt and bring to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and add cinnamon and orange liquor. (Nutmeg is also good). If you do this ahead of time, make sure the fruit mixture is warm or room temp before proceeding.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Pour the melted butter into a 13 by 9 by 2-inch baking dish.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the flour, 1 cup sugar, the baking powder, and the salt and mix well. Stir in the milk, mixing until just combined. Pour this batter over the butter but do not stir them together.
  • Pour the peaches over the batter but do not stir them together.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes or until the top is golden-brown. Serve warm or cold.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. The cobbler was still very good, and I would definitely make it again with less sugar.

This cobbler is a great way to use up ripe peaches. The upside-down presentation is a nice touch, and the cobbler topping is the perfect balance of crispy and soft.

I've made this cobbler twice now, and it's always a hit. The second time, I added a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top, and it was even better! Thanks for sharing this recipe.
