Ingredients
  

4 large fresh peaches, peeled and sliced

1 cup granulated sugar (divided)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup whole milk

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)

1 scoop vanilla ice cream (for serving, optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Prepare the Peaches: In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Toss to coat and set aside to macerate for about 10-15 minutes.

      Make the Batter: In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining 1/2 cup of sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg (if using). Slowly stir in the milk and melted butter until just combined; the batter will be slightly lumpy.

        Assemble the Cobbler: Pour the batter into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Do not stir. Spoon the peach mixture along with all the juices over the top of the batter. The peaches will sink as it bakes, creating a delightful cobbler texture.

          Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

            Cool and Serve: Let the cobbler cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Scoop individual servings warm, and top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.
