Ingredients

Scale

For the Cobbler:

  • 1 stick (8 tablespoons) salted butter, cubed
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup light or dark brown sugar (divided: 3/4 cup for batter, 1/4 cup for peaches)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 5–6 peaches, cut into 8 wedges
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup

For the Maple Butter:

  • 4 tablespoons salted butter
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Melt Butter: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the cubed salted butter into a 9×13 inch baking dish and put it in the oven for about 10 minutes, allowing the butter to melt completely.
  2. Make the Batter: In a mixing bowl, stir together the all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and kosher salt until well combined. Add the milk and vanilla extract, mixing gently until the batter is just combined; do not overmix.
  3. Prepare Peaches: In a separate bowl, toss the peach wedges with 1/4 cup brown sugar and 2 tablespoons maple syrup until evenly coated and juicy.
  4. Assemble the Cobbler: Remove the baking dish with melted butter from the oven. Layer half of the tossed peaches evenly over the melted butter. Pour the batter gently over the peaches without stirring, ensuring it covers the peaches. Then, layer the remaining peaches on top of the batter.
  5. Bake: Bake the cobbler in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes. The cobbler is done when the center is just set and the edges are beginning to brown.
  6. Make Maple Butter: While the cobbler bakes, combine 4 tablespoons salted butter and 1/4 cup maple syrup in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then let it cook for 2 minutes before removing from heat.
  7. Serve: Serve the cobbler warm or at room temperature, drizzled generously with the warm maple butter. Optional: add a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.

Notes

  • For best flavor, use ripe but firm peaches to ensure they hold their shape during baking.
  • You can substitute maple syrup with honey if preferred, but it will slightly alter the flavor profile.
  • Keep an eye on the cobbler towards the end of baking to prevent over-browning.
  • If fresh peaches are out of season, frozen sliced peaches (thawed and drained) can be used instead.
  • Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving to allow the batter to set perfectly.
