A simple yet delicious peach cobbler featuring a nutty brown butter crust and juicy peaches, served warm with vanilla bean ice cream for a perfect summer dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 6 medium peaches)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar (for peach filling)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (1 stick), browned
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (for topping)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup whole milk (240 ml) or almond milk for dairy-free
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • Vanilla bean ice cream for serving

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice the peaches into roughly ½-inch thick slices. Toss them in a mixing bowl with sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cornstarch, and cinnamon if using. Set aside for 10 minutes to macerate.
  2. Melt butter over medium heat in a saucepan, stirring frequently until it foams and turns golden brown with a nutty aroma (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat immediately.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, beat the egg and milk together. Slowly stir the wet ingredients into the dry, then fold in the warm brown butter until batter is slightly thick but pourable.
  4. Pour the peach mixture evenly into an 8×8 inch oven-safe baking dish. Spread the brown butter batter over the peaches with a spatula, covering as much as possible.
  5. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 40-45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and crisp and the peach filling bubbles at the edges.
  6. Let the cobbler cool for 10-15 minutes to thicken. Serve warm with generous scoops of vanilla bean ice cream.

Notes

Watch the butter carefully while browning to avoid burning. If the crust browns too fast but the filling isn’t bubbling, cover loosely with foil. Let the batter rest a few minutes before baking for better texture. Frozen peaches can be used if thawed and drained. For gluten-free, substitute flour with a 1:1 gluten-free blend. Dairy-free options include coconut oil and almond milk.
