Sweet, juicy peaches under a golden, buttery crust. This Gullah peach cobbler recipe is the taste of a Lowcountry summer.

Ingredients

6 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 6-8 peaches)
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
2 tbsp cornstarch
1/2 cup butter
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F. Place 1/2 cup butter in a 9x13 baking dish and put in oven to melt while preheating.
In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches, 1 cup sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, 1 tsp vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch. Stir gently and set aside.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, 1 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in milk and 1 tsp vanilla until just combined. Do not overmix.
Remove hot baking dish from oven. Pour batter over the melted butter — do not stir.
Spoon peach mixture evenly over the batter — do not stir. The batter will rise up around the peaches as it bakes.
Bake 40-45 minutes until golden brown and bubbly. Let cool 15 minutes. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.

💡 Pro Tip: Fresh Georgia peaches are best, but frozen peaches work too. Don't overmix the batter — lumps are fine and make the cobbler more tender.
