Ingredients
  

For the Peach Filling:

6 medium ripe peaches, peeled and sliced (approx. 6 cups)

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

For the Oat Topping:

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure it is hot and ready when you assemble the cobbler.

    Prepare the Peach Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cornstarch, ground cinnamon, and salt. Gently stir until the peaches are well-coated. Let this mixture sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

      Make the Oat Topping: In a separate bowl, mix together the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Pour in the melted butter and stir until the dry ingredients are fully moistened and crumbly.

        Assemble the Cobbler: Pour the prepared peach filling into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom. Sprinkle the oat topping mixture over the peaches, covering them generously.

          Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the oat topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly.

            Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before serving. This will make it easier to scoop and allow the flavors to settle.

              - Presentation Tips: Serve warm in individual bowls, optionally topping with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a delightful contrast to the warm cobbler. Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or fresh mint leaves for an elegant touch.
