A warm and comforting peach cobbler recipe using fresh peaches, simple ingredients, and a tender, moist batter with optional crunchy topping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 20 pounds fresh peaches, ripe but firm
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust based on peach sweetness)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional but recommended)
  • Pinch of nutmeg (optional)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup milk or buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup small-curd cottage cheese, blended smooth (optional)
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats (optional, for topping)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (optional, for topping)
  • 1/4 cup chopped almonds or pecans (optional, for topping)
  • Butter or non-stick spray for greasing baking dish

Instructions

  1. Wash and prepare peaches: rinse under cool water, peel if desired, and slice into 1/2-inch thick wedges. Set aside in a large bowl.
  2. Mix peach filling: sprinkle peaches with granulated sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss gently to coat and let sit while preparing batter.
  3. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with softened butter or non-stick spray.
  4. Make the batter: whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract. Alternately add flour mixture and milk, starting and ending with flour. Fold in blended cottage cheese if using.
  5. Assemble the dish: pour half the batter into the baking dish and spread evenly. Layer the peach mixture with juices over the batter. Pour remaining batter on top and spread gently to cover peaches.
  6. Add topping (optional): mix rolled oats, brown sugar, and chopped nuts. Sprinkle evenly over the top.
  7. Bake for 45-50 minutes until top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Peach juices will bubble around edges.
  8. Cool on a rack for at least 15 minutes before serving to let flavors settle and juices thicken.

Notes

Peeling peaches is optional but recommended for smoother texture. Let sugared peaches rest before baking to release juices and deepen flavor. If topping browns too quickly, tent with foil halfway through baking. For overly juicy peaches, sprinkle 1 tablespoon cornstarch before layering to prevent sogginess. Use room-temperature eggs and butter for better mixing and rise. Cottage cheese adds moistness and creaminess but can be omitted or substituted for dairy-free options.
