Ingredients
  

For the Peach Filling:

6 ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon 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

1/2 cup whole milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Serving:

Vanilla ice cream

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Prepare the Peach Filling: In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, 1/2 cup sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and cornstarch. Toss the peaches gently to coat, and let the mixture sit for about 10-15 minutes to allow the juices to release.

      Make the Cobbler Topping: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the melted butter, milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the flour mixture. Stir until just combined—don’t overmix; a few lumps are okay.

        Assemble the Cobbler: Pour the peach filling into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly. Then, spoon the cobbler topping over the peaches, spreading gently to cover as much of the surface as possible (it's okay if some of the peaches peek through).

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

            Serve: Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Serve warm in bowls with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Garnish with fresh mint if desired.
