Peach Cobbler

This is what fall tastes like. It's a combination of fresh peaches baked in a cinnamon, brown sugar, and nutmeg sauce. You can't get any more fall than that.

Ingredients
  

  • 8 fresh Peaches (approx. 4 cups), peeled and chopped into bite-sized chunks
  • 1/4 cup White Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/4 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp Nutmeg
  • 1 tsp Lemon Juice, freshly squeezed
  • 2 tsp Cornstarch
  • 1 cup All Purpose Flour
  • 1/4 cup White Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
  • 6 tbsp Unsalted Butter, cold, cut into small pieces
  • 1/4 cup Water, room temperature

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. For the peach mixture:
  3. Combine peaches, 1/4 cup white sugar, 1/4 brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, and 2 teaspoons cornstarch together in a large bowl.
  4. Stir to coat.
  5. Pour mixture into a 2-quart baking dish and bake for 10 minutes.
  6. After 10 minutes of baking, pull the peaches out of the oven and set aside.
  7. For the dough:
  8. In a medium bowl, combine 1/4 cup white sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
  9. Stir until well mixed.
  10. Add 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter.
  11. Using a pastry blender, or your fingers, combine the mixture until it becomes crumbly (it should look like Panko breadcrumbs).
  12. Add 1/4 cup water and mix just until everything is moistened.
  13. Putting everything together:
  14. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the hot peach mixture.
  15. Return the peaches to the oven and bake for another 30 minutes, or until the dough is golden.
  16. Cool for 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

The cobbler will thicken as it cools. 
This is so good with vanilla ice cream on top!
