Ingredients

For the Filling:

  • 2 lbs peaches fresh, frozen or canned will work (see note below)
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon butter

For the Topping:

  • 1 cup gluten-free 1:1 baking flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2/3 cup milk room temperature
  • 1/4 cup butter melted

For Sprinkling:

  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Place the peaches, water, brown sugar and cornstarch in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, while stirring often. Once the mixture starts to simmer, remove from the heat.
  • Stir in the lemon juice and butter. Pour into a 9x13-inch baking pan.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. In a small bowl or measuring cup, mix together the milk and melted butter.
  • Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture and mix with a rubber spatula until just combined.
  • Spoon the topping evenly over the peach layer. This works best by placing small dollops of the batter over the filling, then spreading with a small off-set spatula. It is ok if there are a few gaps in the topping but try and make it as even as possible.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the sugar, nutmeg and cinnamon for the topping. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar topping over the cobbler.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the top is golden and the fruit is bubbling.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool for 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

You can use fresh, frozen or canned peaches for this recipe. 
  • FRESH PEACHES: Peel them and use as instructed.
  • CANNED PEACHES: Drain off the juice and give them a rinse.
  • FROZEN PEACHES: Thaw completely before using. I usually do this overnight in the refrigerator. 
 
MAKE IT DAIRY-FREE: Use vegan butter and almond milk (or another dairy-free milk) to make this cobbler dairy-free.
 
DELICIOUS VARIATION: Try replacing 1 cup of the peaches with 1 cup of blueberries for a tasty peach blueberry cobbler!
