Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Place a large baking sheet covered in foil on the lowest rack in the oven.
- In a large bowl, combine the peaches and the lemon juice and then add the rest of the filling ingredients. Stir to coat and then pour into a 9×13 baking dish.
- Bake the peach mixture in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. While the peaches are baking, combine the dry topping ingredients and whisk to combine.
- Toss the grated butter in the flour mixture. Stir in the boiling water, just until combined, leaving plenty of little lumps of butter.
- Remove the peaches from the oven and drop the topping over them in spoonfuls.
- Sprinkle the cobbler topping with the cinnamon sugar topping. Bake until the crust is golden and a toothpick inserted into the crust comes out clean, about 28 minutes.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
- FREEZER DIRECTIONS: The peach filling can be prepared and frozen in advance.
- Combine the peach filling ingredients in a large ziploc bag, press the air out and freeze flat.
- When you are ready to bake the cobbler, thaw in the refrigerator and then pour into the baking dish and proceed with the recipe.
Notes
Using a cheese-grater to grate cold butter is my favorite hassle-free way to cut in the butter. It takes just a moment and I think it’s simpler than the more traditional methods. You can choose whether or not to peel the peaches for this cobbler; either way, it's delicious.
