This is a great peach cobbler recipe and it is always a huge hit.
Filling Ingredients:
8 fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, sliced into thin wedges - about 8-10 cups of slices
1/4 cu. white sugar
1/4 cu. brown sugar
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/8 tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. fresh lemon juice
2 tsp. arrowroot or cornstarch
Topping Ingredients:
2 cu. all-purpose flour
1/2 cu. white sugar
1/2 cu. brown sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. kosher salt
12 tbl. butter, chilled, cut into pieces
1/2 cu. boiling water
Cinnamon Sugar Topping Ingredients:
1/3 cu. white sugar
2 tsp. cinnamon
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place a large baking pan covered in foil on the lowest rack in the oven to cath the overflow drips.
In a small bowl, combine all dry ingredients for the filling. Stir to combine, set aside. In a large bowl, combine peaches and lemon juice, add dry ingredients. Stir well to coat evenly and then pour into a large 9x13 baking dish.
Bake the peach mixture in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. While the peaches are baking, combine the dry topping ingredients and whisk to combine. Blend in the chilled butter, using a pastry blender or your fingertips. Stir in the boiling water, just until combined.
Remove peaches from the oven and drop the topping over them in spoonfuls. Sprinkle the cobbler topping with the cinnamon sugar mixture. Bake until the crust is golden and a toothpick inserted into the crust comes out clean, about 28 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
