Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375° F and grease an 8x8 inch baking dish with non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches, sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon. Lightly stir to coat the peaches evenly.

In a separate bowl, add the mix flour, sugar, and baking powder and mix together.
1 cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup white sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder
Add the diced cold butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers) to blend the butter into the flour . ( until the butter is about pea size).
4 tablespoons cold butter

¼ cup milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pour the milk into the dry ingredients and stir until a crumbly dough is formed.
Using a slotted spoon to remove the peaches from their juices, transfer the peach to the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Discard the peach juices.
Sprinkle the cobbler topping all of over the top of the peaches evenly
Then top with coarse sugar or turbinado sugar all over the cobbler topping.
¼ cup coarse sugar
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the peach filling is bubbling and the topping is golden brown.
Remove the peach cobbler from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of fresh whipped cream.

Notes

Use thawed frozen or canned peaches that have been drained and patted dry with paper towels.

Cornstarch helps thicken the peach layer so the cobbler isn’t too wet.

Use gluten free flour if needed. I love Bob's Red Mill One-to-One flour

Use any milk of choice. or a non-dairy milk like almond milk, oat milk or soy milk.

Coarse or turbinado sugar adds a delicious crunch on top of the cobbler.
