Ingredients & Equipment
Ingredients:
- 6-8 medium ripe peaches, peeled and sliced (about 6 cups)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- For the Streusel Topping:
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1/4 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Equipment:
- 9×13 inch baking dish
- Mixing bowls
- Pastry blender or fork (for the streusel)
- Peeler
- Knife
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat & Prep: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Prepare the Peaches: In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss gently to coat.
- Make the Streusel: In a separate bowl, combine the 1/2 cup flour, brown sugar, cold butter, oats, cinnamon, and salt. Use a pastry blender or your fingers to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Assemble the Cobbler: Pour the peach mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the peaches.
- Bake: Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly.
- Cool & Serve: Let cool for at least 15-20 minutes before serving. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Pro Tips
- Peach Ripeness: Use peaches that are ripe but still firm. Slightly underripe peaches will hold their shape better during baking.
- Don’t Overmix: When making the streusel, avoid overmixing. You want to maintain some chunks of butter for a flaky texture.
- Butter Temperature: Cold butter is crucial for a good streusel. It creates those lovely, crumbly bits.
- Spice it Up: Experiment with different spices! A pinch of cardamom or ginger can add a unique flavor dimension.
- Fruit Variations: Feel free to substitute some of the peaches with other stone fruits like nectarines or plums.
Storing Leftovers
Leftover Peach Cobbler Streusel Bake can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave before serving. For longer storage, you can freeze individual portions for up to 2 months. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil. Reheat from frozen in the oven for best results.
