Kitchen Equipment Needed:

1. Baking dish or casserole dish
2. Mixing bowl
3. Measuring cups and spoons
4. Pastry blender or fork
5. Spoon or spatula

Ingredients:

For the Peach Filling:

• 4 cups sliced fresh or canned peaches (if using canned, drain excess syrup)
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

For the Cobbler Topping:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/4 cup boiling water

Directions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or casserole dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
2. Prepare the Peach Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Stir until the peaches are evenly coated with the sugar and spice mixture. Pour the peach filling into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer.
3. Make the Cobbler Topping: In another mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir until well combined. Add the melted butter to the dry ingredients and mix until crumbly. Gradually stir in the boiling water until a thick batter forms.
4. Assemble the Cobbler: Drop spoonfuls of the cobbler topping over the peach filling in the baking dish, covering the surface as evenly as possible. The batter will spread and expand during baking.
5. Bake the Cobbler: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the cobbler topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly.
6. Serve and Enjoy: Remove the Southern Peach Cobbler from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired. Enjoy the delicious flavors of this easy and irresistible dessert!
