Ingredients
  

For the Peach Filling:

6 ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon cornstarch

For the Cobbler Topping:

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled

1/2 cup whole milk

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

For Serving:

Creamy vanilla ice cream

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s at the right temperature when you're ready to bake.

    Prepare the Peach Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches with 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and cornstarch. Gently toss the peaches to ensure they are well-coated in the mixture. Allow the filling to rest for about 10-15 minutes. This will help the peaches release their natural juices and create a delightful syrup.

      Make the Cobbler Topping: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Pour in the melted butter, whole milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir the mixture until it just comes together; be careful not to overmix—it's perfectly fine if there are a few lumps remaining.

        Assemble the Cobbler: Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking. Pour the peach filling into the dish, spreading it out evenly. Carefully spoon the cobbler topping over the peaches, aiming to cover as much of the fruit as possible. It's okay if some peaches peek through; this adds to the rustic charm of the dish!

          Bake: Carefully place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping turns a beautiful golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the topping comes out clean.

            Serve: Once baked, remove the cobbler from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes. Scoop generous portions into serving bowls, topping each serving with a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream. For an optional touch of freshness, garnish with sprigs of fresh mint.
