Time 1h35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

6 large fresh peaches, pitted and cut into eighths
1 lemon, zested and juiced
½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 ¼ cups white sugar
1 ⅓ cups self-rising flour
⅓ cup rolled oats
⅔ cup whole milk
¼ cup white sugar
2 tablespoons cold water, or as needed to wet topping sugar

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place a baking sheet on the rack under the middle rack to catch drips. Generously butter a 2-inch deep (2-quart) baking dish.
Place peach sections into prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with lemon juice and zest.
Stir butter and sugar together in a mixing bowl. Mix until creamed and resembles a sugary, buttery paste, 4 to 5 minutes. Add oats and flour; stir until flour and oats are incorporated into the butter-sugar mixture and mixture resembles coarse crumbs, 4 to 5 minutes. Pour in milk; stir until mixture is wet and creamy, like a thick spreadable batter, 3 to 4 minutes.
Drop batter by spoonful on top of the peaches. Spread batter evenly over the surface of the peaches. Sprinkle 1/4 cup sugar on the batter. Spritz with water until sugar is wet and surface glistens.
Bake in preheated oven on middle rack until browned and crispy, about 45 minutes. Let cool at least 30 minutes before serving.

Tips:

Use ripe, juicy peaches for the best flavor. If your peaches are not ripe, you can speed up the ripening process by placing them in a paper bag with an apple or banana.
If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by adding 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to every cup of all-purpose flour.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the cobbler tough.
Be careful not to overcook the cobbler. The cobbler is done when the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Serve the cobbler warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
