Equipment

  • 9×13 baking dish
  • large mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • cookie scoop
  • Baking Sheet

Ingredients
  

Peach Filling

  • 8 medium fresh peaches sliced into thin wedges or bite size chunks – about 9-10 cups
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 0.25 cup white sugar
  • 0.25 cup brown sugar
  • 0.25 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 0.125 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch or arrowroot

Crust Topping

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cup white sugar
  • 0.5 cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 12 tablespoons butter chilled and grated
  • 0.5 cup boiling water

Cinnamon Sugar Topping Ingredients

  • 0.33 cup white sugar

  • 0.33 cup potato starch

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Place a large baking sheet covered in foil on the lowest rack in the oven.
  • In a large bowl, combine the peaches and the lemon juice and then add the rest of the filling ingredients. Stir to coat and then pour into a 9×13 baking dish.
  • Bake the peach mixture in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
  • While the peaches are baking, combine the dry topping ingredients and whisk to combine. Toss the grated butter in the flour mixture. Stir in the boiling water, just until combined, leaving plenty of little lumps of butter.
  • Remove the peaches from the oven and drop the topping over them in spoonfuls. Sprinkle the cobbler topping with the cinnamon sugar topping.
  • Bake until the crust is golden and a toothpick inserted into the crust comes out clean, about 28 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
  • FREEZER DIRECTIONS: The peach filling can be prepared and frozen in advance.

Notes

Using a cheese-grater to grate cold butter is a simple method to blend it into the flour mixture.
