Ingredients
  

For the Filling:

6 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (or 2 cans of sliced peaches, drained)

1 cup granulated sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp nutmeg

2 tbsp lemon juice

1 tbsp cornstarch

For the Topping:

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup milk

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 tsp cinnamon

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Prepare the Peach Filling: In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Toss until the peaches are well coated. Pour the peach mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.

      Make the Cobbler Topping: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Stir in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until just combined. The batter will be lumpy, and that’s okay!

        Assemble the Cobbler: Pour the cobbler batter evenly over the peach filling in the baking dish. Use a spatula to gently spread it out if needed, but do not mix the topping into the peaches.

          Sprinkle with Cinnamon: Dust the top of the batter with a sprinkle of cinnamon for added flavor.

            Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

              Cool and Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool slightly for about 15 minutes before serving. Serve warm, preferably with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
