Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 jars
Ingredients
- 4 cups sliced peaches (fresh or canned)
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup self-rising flour
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare four clean mason jars by lightly greasing the insides with butter or cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, combine sliced peaches with 1/2 cup of sugar and ground cinnamon. Gently mix until peaches are evenly coated.
- Divide the seasoned peaches equally among the four mason jars, filling each about 2/3 full.
- In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together self-rising flour, remaining 1/2 cup sugar, and all-purpose flour.
- Gradually pour in milk and melted butter, stirring until a smooth batter forms. The consistency should be similar to pancake batter.
- Pour the batter evenly over the peaches in each mason jar, leaving about 1/2 inch of space at the top for expansion during baking.
- Place the mason jars on a baking sheet to catch any potential overflow and ensure even heat distribution.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes. The cobbler will be extremely hot, so use oven mitts or a towel when handling.
- Optional: Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on top.
- For best presentation, serve in the mason jars, allowing each person to enjoy their individual dessert.
Tips
- Fruit Selection Matters: Use ripe, sweet peaches for the best flavor. If using canned peaches, drain them well to prevent excess liquid.
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure milk and butter are at room temperature for a smoother, more consistent batter.
- Don't Overmix: When combining batter ingredients, mix just until combined to keep the cobbler topping tender.
- Baking Sheet is Essential: Always place mason jars on a baking sheet to catch any potential overflow and ensure even baking.
- Cooling is Crucial: Let the cobblers rest for 10-15 minutes after baking to allow the filling to set and prevent burns.
- Customize Your Topping: Experiment with adding a sprinkle of nutmeg or a handful of chopped nuts for extra flavor and texture.
- Make Ahead Friendly: These can be prepared earlier in the day and baked just before serving for maximum freshness.
