Easy Stovetop Peach Cobbler

40 min 6 servings Easy
Peach cobbler is a classic dessert that combines the sweetness of ripe peaches with a buttery, biscuit-like topping. While traditionally baked in an oven, this version is made entirely on the stovetop, making it accessible and easy for those without oven access or looking for a quick treat. The secret to this dish's success lies in the caramelization of the peaches and the soft, doughy topping that absorbs all the fruity juices. It's ideal for summer when peaches are in season or anytime you're craving a comforting dessert.

Instructions

1

Prepare the peaches

In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the peaches, 1/2 cup sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Cook until the peaches are soft and the juices have thickened, about 10 minutes.

Pro tip: Use ripe peaches for the best flavour and sweetness.

2

Mix dry ingredients

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

3

Combine wet ingredients

Stir in the milk and melted butter into the dry ingredients until just combined.

Pro tip: Do not overmix to ensure a tender topping.

4

Add topping to peaches

Spoon the cobbler batter over the cooked peach mixture in the saucepan, making sure to cover evenly.

5

Cook the cobbler

Cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 15 minutes or until the topping is cooked through and set.

Pro tip: Resist the urge to lift the lid; the steam helps cook the topping.

6

Check doneness

The cobbler is done when the topping is firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
