Ingredients:
• 4 cups sliced fresh peaches (or canned peaches in syrup, drained)
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup milk
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
Step 2: Prepare the Peaches
• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the sliced peaches, 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar, and a dash of cinnamon if using.
• Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peaches are soft and the sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 3: Make the Batter
• In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, the remaining 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
• Stir in the milk and vanilla extract until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
Step 4: Prepare the Baking Dish
• Pour the melted butter into the bottom of the greased baking dish, ensuring it covers the entire base.
• Carefully pour the batter over the melted butter. Do not mix or stir.
Step 5: Assemble the Cobbler
• Spoon the peach mixture evenly over the batter in the baking dish. Remember not to stir; the batter will rise up around the peaches during baking.
Step 6: Bake the Cobbler
• Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the batter is fully set.
• Let the cobbler cool slightly for about 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the cobbler to firm up a bit.
Tips:
• Peach Substitute: If peaches are not in season, use frozen peaches (thawed) or canned peaches, ensuring they are drained well.
• Add a Twist: For added flavor, sprinkle a little extra cinnamon and brown sugar on top before baking.
• Serving Suggestion: Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Storage Options:
• Refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for 10-15 minutes or in the microwave for a quicker option.
• Freezer: For longer storage, freeze the cooled cobbler in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat before serving.
Krispy Kreme Peach Cobbler is a simple, crowd-pleasing dessert that combines the juicy sweetness of peaches with a buttery, cake-like batter. It’s a perfect end to any meal and guaranteed to become a family favorite!
