Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a bowl, combine the sliced peaches, 1 cup of sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Let the peaches marinate, allowing their natural juices to release.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together flour, milk, the remaining sugar, melted butter, baking powder, and salt until smooth and free of lumps.
  4. Pour the batter evenly into a greased baking dish.
  5. Spoon the peach mixture over the batter, layering it artfully without stirring.
Baking
  1. Bake for about 35-45 minutes until golden brown and bubbly, and your kitchen is filled with the irresistible aroma of fresh cobbler.
  2. Allow to cool slightly before serving to ensure the flavors set beautifully.

Notes

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. For a gluten-free version, use almond flour. Fresh peaches provide the best texture and flavor!
