Ingredients
- For the Peach Filling:
- 6–7 ripe medium peaches (about 2.5 lbs), peeled and sliced
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust to peach sweetness)
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
- Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg or cardamom (optional)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, divided
- For the Brown Butter Topping:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup whole milk (or buttermilk/heavy cream)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, browned and cooled (from the divided butter above)
Instructions
- 1. Prepare Peaches: In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches, granulated sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg/cardamom. Toss gently and set aside.
- 2. Brown Butter: In a light-colored saucepan, melt 1/2 cup unsalted butter over medium heat. Cook, swirling occasionally, until milk solids turn golden brown and butter smells nutty. Immediately pour into a heatproof bowl.
- 3. Assemble Topping: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add 1/4 cup of the cooled brown butter and the milk. Stir until just combined; do not overmix.
- 4. Combine & Bake: Pour the remaining 1/4 cup brown butter over the macerated peaches and stir. Transfer peaches to a 9×13 inch baking dish. Drop spoonfuls of topping over the peaches.
- 5. Bake: Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 35-45 minutes, or until topping is golden brown and filling is bubbly.
- 6. Rest & Serve: Let cobbler rest for at least 15-20 minutes before serving warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
