How to Make Old School Easy Brown Sugar Peach Cobbler

Step 1: Preheat Oven and Melt Butter

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Drop the cubed butter into a 9×13-inch baking dish and place the dish in the oven to melt, about 10 minutes.

Step 2: Make the Batter

In a large bowl, stir together the flour, 3/4 cup brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Add the milk and vanilla extract, and mix until just combined.

Step 3: Prepare the Peaches

In a separate bowl, toss the peach wedges with 1/4 cup brown sugar and 2 tablespoons maple syrup.

Step 4: Assemble the Cobbler

Layer half of the peaches over the melted butter in the baking dish. Pour the batter over the peaches (do not stir). Layer the remaining peaches over the batter.

Step 5: Bake

Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the center is just set and the edges begin to brown.

Step 6: Make the Maple Butter

While the cobbler is baking, combine the 4 tablespoons butter and 1/4 cup maple syrup in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook for 2 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 7: Serve

Serve the cobbler warm or at room temperature with ice cream and the maple butter drizzled on top.

How to Serve

• Warm with Ice Cream: Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
