How to Make Peach Cobbler with a Brown Sugar & Saigon Cinnamon Crust
Making this peach cobbler is simple! Just follow the steps below, and you’ll have a delicious dessert ready in no time.
Ingredients:
- 4 cups fresh or frozen peaches (peeled and sliced)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1 teaspoon Saigon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (optional)
Directions:
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl, toss the sliced peaches with granulated sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. If the peaches are juicy and you want a thicker filling, add 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Pour the peach mixture into a greased 9×9-inch baking dish.
-
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, Saigon cinnamon, salt, and baking powder. Stir in the melted butter and milk to create a thick batter. Spoon the batter over the peaches in dollops, leaving some filling visible.
-
Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the crust comes out clean. If the topping gets too brown before the filling bubbles, cover the cobbler with aluminum foil and continue baking.
-
Let the peach cobbler cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
How to Serve Peach Cobbler
Peach cobbler is best served warm. You can add a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on top to make it extra special. It’s a delightful dessert on its own but even better with a sweet topping.
How to Store Peach Cobbler
To store leftover peach cobbler, let it cool completely, then cover it with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. You can keep it in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. If you want to keep it longer, it freezes well. Just wrap it tightly and it can last in the freezer for about 2-3 months.
Tips to Make Peach Cobbler
- Choose ripe peaches for the best flavor. If using frozen peaches, thaw them and drain excess liquid before using.
- If you like a crunchier topping, bake it a few minutes longer.
- For an extra touch, sprinkle some extra Saigon cinnamon on top before serving.
Variation
Feel free to mix it up! You can add other fruits like blueberries or strawberries to the peach filling for a mixed fruit cobbler. You can also substitute the Saigon cinnamon with regular cinnamon if that’s what you have on hand.
FAQs
1. Can I use canned peaches?
Yes, you can use canned peaches in syrup. Just drain them well and reduce the sugar in the recipe since they are already sweet.
2. What if I don’t have brown sugar?
You can use regular granulated sugar instead of brown sugar, but the flavor will be different. For a closer taste, you can mix granulated sugar with a little molasses.
3. Is it necessary to use cornstarch?
Cornstarch is optional. It’s there to thicken the peach filling if you prefer a firmer texture. You can skip it if you like a juicier cobbler.
Now you’re ready to enjoy your delicious Peach Cobbler with a Brown Sugar & Saigon Cinnamon Crust! Happy baking!
