🥘Ingredients

For the Peach Filling

6 cups sliced fresh or frozen peaches (about 6-7 medium peaches)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 tablespoons cornstarch

For the Cobbler Topping

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
1/2 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon coarse sugar for sprinkling (optional)

👨‍🍳Directions

1In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch.
2Stir gently until the peaches are evenly coated and the cornstarch is fully dissolved, about 1 minute.
3Transfer the peach mixture to the slow cooker and spread it into an even layer.
4Cover and cook on high for 1 hour 30 minutes, until the peaches are tender and the juices are bubbling around the edges.
5While the peaches cook, prepare the topping.
6In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
7Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized butter pieces.
8Add the milk and vanilla extract to the flour mixture, stirring just until a soft, shaggy dough forms.
9Do not overmix.
10The dough should be slightly sticky but hold together.
11After the peaches have cooked for 1 hour 30 minutes, drop spoonfuls of the dough evenly over the hot peach filling.
12Sprinkle the top with coarse sugar if desired.
13Cover the slow cooker and continue cooking on high for 45 to 60 minutes, until the topping is puffed, golden, and a toothpick inserted into the center of the dough comes out clean.
14Turn off the slow cooker and let the cobbler rest, uncovered, for 15 minutes to allow the filling to thicken slightly.
15Serve warm, spooned into bowls, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

📝Notes

For a richer flavor, add 1/4 teaspoon almond extract to the peach mixture. If using frozen peaches, there is no need to thaw them first; simply increase the initial cooking time by 15 minutes. To prevent sticking, lightly grease the slow cooker insert with nonstick spray before adding the peaches.
