Ingredients

Filling

  • 6 peaches*, peeled and cut into 3/4 inch slices $2.76
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar $0.22
  • 1/4 tsp salt $0.02
  • 1/8 tsp ground ginger $0.02
  • 1 tsp cornstarch $0.04
  • 1 tsp lemon juice $0.03

Batter

  • 8 Tbsp salted butter, melted $1.02
  • 1 1/2 cups flour $0.21
  • 1 cup sugar $0.40
  • 1/2 cup sliced toasted almonds $1.27
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder $0.09
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon $0.02
  • 1 pinch nutmeg $0.01
  • 1/4 tsp salt $0.02
  • 1 cup milk $0.30
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract $0.72

Instructions

  • Set an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat it to 350°F. In a large bowl, mix the sliced peaches, brown sugar, salt, and ground ginger. Let the peaches sit for five minutes to absorb the sugar and spices and release their juices.
  • Set a large skillet over medium heat and add the peaches and their juices. Cook down the juices for about 5 minutes. Mix the cornstarch with the lemon juice to create a slurry, then add it to the peaches and stir well. Turn the heat to mid-high and bring to a boil.
  • When the juices have thickened to the point that they stay separated when you run a spoon through them (about 5 minutes), take the pan off the heat.
  • Add the melted butter to a pie dish, then add the cooked peaches and their juices.
  • In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, sliced toasted almonds, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  • Stir in the milk and vanilla and mix lightly, just until a batter forms. Pour the batter on top of the peaches. For a solid crust, leave the batter as is. If you'd like some of the peaches to poke through the crust, stir the batter into the peaches once or twice.
  • Bake the cobbler in the preheated 350°F oven until the crust is golden brown, about 35 minutes. Cool before serving and enjoy!!

Notes

*You do not have to peel the peaches if you don't want to. If using canned peaches, use two 15-ounce cans of peaches in their own juices. Do not drain the juices. If using frozen sliced peaches, use 2 pounds, but thaw them before mixing them with the brown sugar.
