Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Peach Filling

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a saucepan over medium heat, combine peaches, sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Bring to a bubble and cook for 5 minutes, stirring often, until peaches begin to soften.

Spread cubed butter evenly in a 9×9 inch baking dish. Place in the preheated oven until melted and bubbly.

Step 3: Prepare the Cobbler Topping

In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, egg, vanilla, and milk until just combined.

Step 4: Assemble the Cobbler

Pour the batter into the baking dish with the melted butter. Pour the peach filling evenly over the batter.

Step 5: Bake

Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the cobbler topping is set and golden brown.

Step 6: Serve

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
