A comforting summer dessert featuring juicy peaches topped with a nutty, caramel-like brown butter crust. Quick and easy to prepare, perfect for family dinners or casual get-togethers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (150 g)
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar (100 g)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (240 g)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, browned and cooled (85 g)
  • 1 cup whole milk (240 ml)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice 6 large peaches into about 1/2-inch thick slices. Toss with 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a medium bowl. Let sit for 10 minutes.
  2. Brown 6 tablespoons unsalted butter in a stainless steel skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly until golden brown and nutty aroma appears (5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and cool slightly.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup packed brown sugar.
  4. Pour browned butter into dry ingredients and stir gently. Add 1 cup whole milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until just combined; batter will be lumpy and thick.
  5. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Pour peach mixture with juices into a 9×13-inch baking dish. Spoon dollops of crust batter evenly over peaches.
  6. Bake on middle rack for 35-40 minutes until crust is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean; filling should be bubbly.
  7. Cool cobbler for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

Keep heat moderate and stir constantly when browning butter to avoid burning. Do not overmix crust batter to keep it tender. Use lemon juice to balance sweetness and preserve peach color. Tent with foil if crust browns too quickly during baking. Can substitute almond flour for gluten-free version and coconut oil and dairy-free milk for vegan adaptation.
