Description

There’s something undeniably comforting about an old-fashioned peach cobbler. It’s a dessert that brings to mind warm summer evenings, family gatherings, and the simple joy of a sweet treat made with love. This particular recipe, with its ease and simplicity, brings the classic flavors of peach cobbler right into your kitchen, making it a perfect dish for both new cooks and seasoned chefs alike. Let’s dive into how you can create this delicious dessert, complete with the option of a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra layer of indulgence.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can Sliced Peaches, drained: The star of the dish, providing a sweet and juicy filling.
  • 1 cup Bisquick Mix: Acts as a simple and quick base for the cobbler crust.
  • 1 cup Milk: Helps to bind the Bisquick mix into a smooth batter.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Nutmeg: Adds warmth and depth to the flavor profile.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon: Brings a spicy sweetness that complements the peaches beautifully.
  • 1/2 cup Melted Butter: Gives the crust a rich, buttery taste and tender texture.
  • 1 cup Sugar: Sweetens the peach filling, balancing the tartness of the fruit.
  • Vanilla Ice Cream (optional): A scoop on top adds creaminess and a cool contrast to the warm cobbler.

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prep: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures the cobbler cooks evenly and the crust achieves a golden brown color.

  2. Create the Crust: In an 8×8 inch baking dish, mix together the Bisquick, milk, nutmeg, and cinnamon until well combined. The spices will infuse the crust with their flavor, making it anything but ordinary. Then, stir in the melted butter, which helps to create a rich and moist base for your cobbler.

  3. Prepare the Filling: In a separate bowl, gently toss the drained peach slices with sugar. This not only sweetens the peaches but also helps to draw out their natural juices, creating a syrupy filling that’s full of flavor.

  4. Assemble the Cobbler: Pour the peach and sugar mixture over the crust in the baking dish. There’s no need to stir; as the cobbler bakes, the crust will rise up around the peaches, enveloping them in a warm, cakey embrace.

  5. Bake to Perfection: Place the cobbler in the oven and bake for 45 minutes to an hour. You’re looking for a crust that’s golden brown and set, with the peach filling bubbling around the edges. The aroma that fills your kitchen will be irresistible.

  6. Serve with Ice Cream: While the cobbler is delightful on its own, serving it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream takes it to the next level. The contrast between the warm, spiced peaches and the cold, creamy ice cream is a match made in dessert heaven.
