A quick and easy summer dessert featuring a nutty browned butter crust and juicy peaches, perfect served warm with vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4–5 medium fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (or 4 cups frozen, thawed and drained)
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, browned
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend)
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar, divided
  • 1/4 cup (50g) brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) whole milk (or dairy-free milk)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Peel and slice peaches into 1/2-inch thick slices. Toss with 1/4 cup granulated sugar, cinnamon (if using), and a pinch of salt. Set aside to macerate.
  2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Stir frequently until it foams and turns golden brown with a nutty aroma (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat immediately.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add milk and vanilla extract. Pour in browned butter and stir until just combined; do not overmix.
  4. Pour peach mixture with juices into a greased 8×8 inch baking dish. Dollop batter over peaches, spreading gently but unevenly for a rustic look.
  5. Bake for 35-40 minutes until topping is golden brown and peaches are bubbly. Insert a toothpick in topping; it should come out clean.
  6. Let cobbler rest for 10-15 minutes to thicken juices.
  7. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Use a light-colored pan to brown butter and watch closely to avoid burning. Score peaches and blanch to peel easily. If topping browns too fast, tent with foil. Drain extra juice from peaches if very juicy to prevent soggy crust. Can substitute gluten-free flour and dairy-free milk for dietary needs.
