JesseEatzA true Southern classic featuring sweet, juicy peaches tucked under a buttery, golden-brown cake-like topping. Best served warm with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the butter in a 9x13 inch baking dish and put it in the oven to melt while it preheats.
In a medium saucepan, combine the sliced peaches, 3/4 cup sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes until the sugar is dissolved and peaches are slightly softened.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 cup sugar, and baking powder. Stir in the milk and vanilla extract until just combined (it's okay if there are a few lumps).
Remove the baking dish with melted butter from the oven. Pour the batter directly over the butter. DO NOT STIR.
Not stirring is the secret to that classic cobbler crust!
Spoon the peach mixture (and the syrup) evenly over the batter. Again, do not stir.
Bake for 40-45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean. The batter will rise up and around the peaches as it bakes.
Remove from oven and let it rest for at least 10 minutes to allow the juices to thicken before serving.
