Ingredients
- 8 fresh peaches peeled, pitted, and sliced
- ¼ cup white sugar
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup brown sugar packed, divided
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter chilled and diced
- ¼ cup boiling water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches, white sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Toss to coat evenly, and pour into a 2-quart baking dish. Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes.
- While peaches are baking, in a separate bowl, blend the flour, ¼ cup of brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix in butter with your fingertips, or a pastry blender, until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in water until just combined.
- Remove peaches from the oven, and drop spoonfuls of topping over them. Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup of brown sugar over the cobbler. Bake until topping is golden, about 30 minutes.
