Lazy Peach Cobbler Recipe

Lazy Peach Cobbler is a quick and simple dessert that combines the sweetness of peaches with a buttery, golden crust. This recipe requires minimal effort but delivers maximum flavor, making it a perfect go-to treat when you're short on time but craving something delicious!

Ingredients:

- 1 cup all-purpose flour

- 1 cup sugar

- 1 cup milk

- 1 tablespoon baking powder

- 1/4 teaspoon salt

- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted

- 1 large can (29 ounces) sliced peaches in syrup (or fresh peaches if in season)

- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

- Vanilla ice cream (for serving, optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Melt the Butter: Place the butter in a 9x13-inch baking dish and melt it in the preheating oven. This step ensures the butter coats the bottom and sides of the dish, creating a crisp, buttery base for the cobbler.

3. Prepare the Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Gradually stir in the milk until a smooth batter forms.

4. Add Batter to Dish: Once the butter is fully melted in the baking dish, remove it from the oven. Pour the batter over the melted butter—do not stir. The batter will rise to the top during baking, creating a delicious crust.

5. Add the Peaches: Spoon the peaches and their syrup evenly over the batter. Again, don’t stir. If you’re using fresh peaches, sprinkle them with a little extra sugar and add a bit of water or peach juice to create moisture.

6. Sprinkle with Cinnamon: For extra flavor, sprinkle the top with cinnamon (optional).

7. Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy. The batter will puff up around the peaches, creating a beautiful cobbler.

8. Serve: Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate dessert experience!

Tips:

- Fresh Peaches: If using fresh peaches, you’ll need about 4-5 peaches, peeled and sliced. Toss them with 1/4 cup sugar and a tablespoon of water or lemon juice before adding them to the dish.

- Fruit Substitutes: This lazy cobbler recipe can easily be adapted for other fruits like berries, cherries, or apples.

- Syrup Adjustment: If you prefer a less sweet cobbler, you can drain some of the syrup from the canned peaches before adding them.

This Lazy Peach Cobbler is a fuss-free dessert that’s sure to impress with its classic flavor and simplicity. Enjoy it warm with friends and family!
