Ingredients

  • 8 fresh peaches peeled, pitted and sliced into wedges
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar firmly packed
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch

Cake Topping:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar firmly packed
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 12 tablespoons cold unsalted butter cut into small pieces
  • 1/2 cup boiling water

Sugar Topping:

  • 3 tablespoons white sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • In a large bowl, fold the peaches, 1/4 cup each white and brown sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice and cornstarch until all ingredients are well combined.
  • Pour fruit mixture into a 9X13 inch baking dish.
  • Place in preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes.
  • While peaches are in the oven, mix together all the cake topping ingredients, except the boiling water, to a medium bowl. 
  • Use a pastry blender to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture looks like coarse meal. 
  • Pour in the boiling water and stir just until the mixture comes together and is just mixed through.
  • After the peaches have baked the 10 minutes, pull them from the oven and drop large spoonfuls of the dough topping over peaches. 
  • Evenly sprinkle the top of the dough with the 3 tablespoons of sugar. 
  • Place the baking dish on a rimmed baking sheet in case the cobbler bubbles over and drips, and bake for 30 minutes or until the topping is golden and baked through and the peaches are tender.
