Ingredients
Scale
For the Peach Filling:
- 6–8 ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
- 2½ Tbsp cornstarch
- ¾–1 cup granulated sugar
For the Crust:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large egg yolks (room temperature)
- ¼ cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large egg whites (beaten until stiff)
Instructions
- Prepare the Peach Filling – Peel and slice the peaches, then mix with cornstarch and sugar in a bowl. Let sit for 10 minutes.
- Preheat the Oven – Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Make the Crust – In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, and baking powder. Stir in egg yolks and melted butter. In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until stiff, then fold into the batter.
- Assemble the Cobbler – Pour the peach filling into the baking dish. Drop spoonfuls of the crust batter over the top.
- Bake – Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling.
- Cool & Serve – Let cool for 10–15 minutes, then serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe peaches for the best flavor.
- For a crispier crust, sprinkle a little extra sugar on top before baking.
- Make it gluten-free by using gluten-free flour instead of all-purpose flour.
