Step 3: Pour Batter into Baking Dish
Carefully pour the batter over the melted butter.
Do not mix the butter and batter together.
This layering technique helps create the cobbler’s signature texture during baking.
Step 4: Add the Peaches
Spoon the peaches evenly over the batter.
Pour part of the peach syrup over the top.
Avoid stirring.
As the cobbler bakes, the batter will rise around the peaches, creating a beautiful cobbler crust.
For additional flavor, sprinkle cinnamon and nutmeg over the peaches.
Step 5: Bake Until Golden
Bake for 45–55 minutes.
The cobbler is done when the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbling.
Allow it to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
This helps the filling thicken and improves texture.
