For the Peach Filling

4 cups sliced peaches (fresh or canned, drained)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 tablespoon cornstarch

For the Cobbler Topping

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Black Folks Peach Cobbler

1. Can I use frozen peaches for this cobbler?

Yes, you can use frozen peaches. Thaw them completely and drain any excess liquid before using. You may need to add a little more cornstarch to thicken the filling.

2. Why is my cobbler runny?

A runny cobbler usually means the peaches released too much liquid. Make sure to drain canned peaches well or if using fresh, let them sit with sugar for a few minutes and then drain off some juice. The cornstarch also helps thicken it.

3. Can I make this cobbler ahead of time?

You can prepare the filling and topping batter separately. Keep them in the fridge and assemble just before baking. Baked cobbler is best served the same day but leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.

4. How do I get a golden brown top?

Make sure your oven is fully preheated. The butter in the topping helps it brown. If the top is browning too fast, cover loosely with foil for the last 10 minutes of baking.

5. Can I add other fruits to this recipe?

Absolutely. You can mix in berries like blueberries or blackberries. Just keep the total fruit amount around 4 cups and adjust sugar to taste.
