Step-by-step instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches, honey, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Make sure they’re well mixed to get that delicious flavor infused into the peaches.
3. In another bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix these dry ingredients thoroughly.
4. Stir in the milk and melted butter into the flour mixture until everything is combined into a smooth batter.
5. Grease a baking dish and pour the batter into the bottom.
6. Spoon the peach mixture over the batter, letting the juices seep into it as it bakes.
7. Bake for about 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Best ways to enjoy it

This peach cobbler is a delightful showstopper on its own, but there are so many ways to enhance the presentation and flavors! Serve it warm, topped with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for an extra touch. You can also pair it with a side of fresh berries or a light salad to add a refreshing contrast to the dish.

Storage and reheating tips

To enjoy your leftovers, it’s important to store them properly. Allow the cobbler to cool completely before covering it tightly with plastic wrap or transferring it to an airtight container. It can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in the oven at a low temperature for the best results, or microwave for a quick fix.
