• 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• ¼ cup cane sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon baking soda
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¼ cup melted coconut oil or unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Vanilla ice cream, for serving

 

Kitchen Equipment You’ll Need

To make the Peach Cobbler preparation a breeze, ensure you have these essential kitchen tools ready:

 

• 9×13-inch baking dish
• Mixing bowls
• Whisk
• Cutting board and knife
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Spatula

 

With your ingredients and kitchen equipment in place, let’s move on to the step-by-step instructions.

 

Step-by-Step Instructions

 

1. Preheat and Prep

Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) and generously grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with coconut oil. Prepping your dish ensures that your Peach Cobbler won’t stick and will bake to perfection.

 

2. Peach Perfection

Now, it’s time to work your magic with the peaches. Slice them thinly and evenly. A little tip: if you find perfectly ripe peaches, it can make all the difference in flavor.

 

3. Lemon Love

Drizzle the fresh lemon juice over the sliced peaches. This not only adds a zesty twist but also helps balance the sweetness of the dish.

 

4. Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cane sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. This blend of dry ingredients will give your cobbler that classic crumbly texture.

 

5. Mix and Match

Add the melted coconut oil (or unsalted butter) and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Combine them until the mixture forms a crumbly dough. This is where the magic happens!

 

6. Assemble and Bake

Sprinkle your crumbly dough evenly over the peaches in the baking dish. Pop it into the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until you see the top turn a lovely golden brown and the peaches become irresistibly juicy.

 

7. Serve and Savor

The best way to enjoy Peach Cobbler is when it’s warm, fresh out of the oven. Top it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and you’re in for a taste sensation like no other.

 

Pro Tips and Recipe Variations

• Add Nuts: For some extra crunch, toss in some chopped pecans or almonds into the crumbly topping.
• Spice It Up: Experiment with different spices like nutmeg or cardamom to give your Peach Cobbler a unique twist.
• Swap Fruits: While peaches are classic, you can use this recipe with other fruits like berries, apples, or even a combination of your favorites.
