Ingredients
Fruit Filling
- 2 cans sliced peaches (29 oz each), drained
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg (optional)
Batter
- 1 cup Bisquick mix
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup butter, melted (1 stick)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the correct temperature while you prepare the cobbler.
- Prepare Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup Bisquick mix, 1 cup milk, and 1/2 cup melted butter. Stir until well combined, then pour the batter evenly into a greased baking dish.
- Prepare Peach Topping: In a separate bowl, toss the drained sliced peaches with 3/4 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon to coat. If using, sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg over the peaches for added warmth and flavor.
- Assemble Cobbler: Spoon the peach mixture gently on top of the batter in the baking dish. Important: do not stir the peaches into the batter; the batter will rise around the fruit as it bakes.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 45-60 minutes, or until the top is a deep golden brown and the batter has risen around the peaches.
- Cool Slightly: Remove from oven and let the cobbler rest for about 10 minutes to set before serving.
- Serve: Serve the peach cobbler warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream for a classic finishing touch.
Notes
- Do not stir the peaches into the batter; this layering process creates the signature cobbler texture.
- Use fresh or frozen peaches if preferred, adjusting sugar to taste since canned peaches are already sweet.
- Serving with vanilla ice cream enhances the flavor, but it’s delicious on its own as well.
- The cobbler can be baked in a 9×13-inch dish or similar size.
- Nutmeg is optional but adds a lovely depth of flavor.
