This peach cobbler is the ultimate summer dessert, sweet, juicy peaches spiced just right and baked under a soft, golden, buttery topping. Whether you're serving it warm with vanilla ice cream or enjoying leftovers the next morning, this is the cobbler you’ll keep coming back to.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
In a large bowl, combine peaches, both sugars, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Mix well until peaches are fully coated.
Pour the peach mixture evenly into the greased baking dish.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in melted butter and vanilla. Gradually add boiling water, mixing until smooth.
Spoon the batter over the peaches. It doesn’t have to be perfectly spread, let it be rustic.
Bake for 45–50 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling bubbles around the edges.
Let cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream if desired.
