Fresh peaches are in season, and this is a recipe you can take to your Labor Day barbecue.
Chef Jeff from Smith's joined us from his kitchen with the recipe, and a hack for pitting those peaches.
Crispy Peach Cobbler
Ingredients
10 peaches (4-5 lbs.), cut into 1-inch chunks
Juice and zest of 1 large lemon
1 stick butter, softened
2 c. sugar, divided
1 ½ c. all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. kosher salt
¾ c. milk
½ c. hot water
Ice cream for serving
Directions
1. Preheat your oven to 350. Put the peaches in a 9x13 glass baking dish. Zest the lemon over the peaches and then squeeze the lemon evenly over the top.
2. Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt in a small mixing bowl with a whisk and set aside. Using a hand mixer, cream the softened butter with 1 ½ cups of the sugar for about 1 minute. Add the flour mixture and mix until crumbly. With the mixer running, slowly add the milk. Mix for about 2 minutes or until the mixture is light and fluffy.
3. Evenly spread this mixture over the peaches. Sprinkle the remaining ½ c. of sugar evenly over the batter. Drizzle the hot water evenly over the sugar. Place the cobbler in the oven and bake 70-80 minutes or until the top is browned and cracked. Let the cobbler cool for 30 minutes to an hour. Serve with vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
