A classic Southern dessert, this homemade peach cobbler features juicy peaches baked under a golden, buttery crust. Perfectly sweet and comforting, it's a crowd-pleaser best served warm with vanilla ice cream.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine peaches, sugar, lemon juice, vanilla, cinnamon, and cornstarch.
Toss until well-coated.
Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish or deep pie dish.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir just until combined—do not overmix.
Spoon the batter evenly over the peaches. It will spread while baking.
Optional: Sprinkle a little cinnamon sugar on top for added crunch.
Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the topping comes out clean.
Let cool for 10–15 minutes before serving.
Beverage: Sweet iced tea, Moscato wine, or a chilled bourbon cocktail
Topping: Vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or crème fraîche
