This is often called “Cuppa Cuppa Cuppa” Cobbler because the original recipe was so simple: a cup of flour, a cup of sugar, and a cup of fruit. This version adds a little butter and vanilla to make it truly spectacular, but it remains the easiest dessert in your repertoire.No rolling dough, no fancy equipment—just one baking dish and a bowl.
🍑 The “Dump & Bake” Ingredients
-
½ cup (1 stick) Unsalted butter
-
1 cup All-purpose flour
-
1 cup Granulated sugar
-
1 tbsp Baking powder
-
Pinch of salt
-
1 cup Whole milk
-
1 tsp Vanilla extract
-
1 can (29 oz) Sliced peaches in heavy syrup (Do NOT drain!)
-
Or 4 cups fresh sliced peaches tossed with ½ cup sugar.
-
🔪 Instructions
1. Melt the Butter
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the stick of butter in a 9×13 inch baking dish and put it in the oven while it preheats. Remove once the butter is melted and sizzling.
2. Mix the Batter
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the milk and vanilla until just combined. (A few lumps are okay!)
3. The “No-Stir” Secret
-
Pour the batter directly over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not stir.
-
Spoon the peaches and their syrup over the batter. Do not stir.
-
As it bakes, the batter will magically rise up through the peaches to form a golden, cake-like crust.
4. Bake
Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the peach juice is bubbling around the edges.
🍨 Serving Suggestions
-
The Classic: A big scoop of high-quality vanilla bean ice cream.
-
The “Fancy”: A dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
-
Warmth is Key: This is best served warm from the oven, but it’s surprisingly good cold the next morning for “breakfast.”
💡 Notes for Your Website
-
Fresh vs. Canned: Canned peaches make this “super easy,” but if using fresh, make sure they are very ripe. If using frozen, thaw them completely first.
-
The Crust: If your readers like a crunchier top, suggest sprinkling 1 tablespoon of coarse sugar over the batter before baking.
