Ingredients:

  • 6 cups (900g) fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp (16g) cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) lemon juice
  • 1 tsp (2g) ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp (1.5g) salt
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp (10g) baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) salt
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) whole milk
  • 1 pint (473ml) vanilla bean ice cream
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions:

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the sliced peaches, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, cinnamon, and salt. Stir gently until the fruit is evenly coated.
  2. Pour the peach mixture into a 9x9 inch baking dish or cast iron skillet, spreading it evenly to the edges.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until no clumps remain.
  4. Pour in the melted butter and milk. Stir with a spatula just until the flour disappears, leaving a few small lumps for a tenderer crust.
  5. Pour the batter over the peaches and use a spatula to spread it toward the edges of the dish.
  6. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 35-45 minutes until the crust is a deep mahogany color and the filling is bubbling up the sides.
  7. Remove from the oven and let the cobbler rest for 10 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken.
  8. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream and a garnish of fresh mint leaves.
