Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease or butter a 9×6-inch baking dish (or a similar-size casserole) and set it aside.
• Pit and slice the peaches into roughly 1/2-inch-thick slices.
• In a large bowl combine the sliced peaches, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, the juice from 1/2 lemon, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, a pinch of kosher salt, and 2 tablespoons corn starch or tapioca flour. Toss gently until the sugar is dissolved and the starch evenly coats the peaches.
• Transfer the peach mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it into an even layer.
• In a medium bowl whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt.
• Add 3/4 cup whole milk, 6 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla paste or 2 teaspoons vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined into a batter.
• Spoon or pour the batter evenly over the peach filling. It’s fine if some of the peaches show through the topping.
• Bake for 50–55 minutes, until the filling is bubbling and the top is golden brown.
• Remove from the oven and let the cobbler rest about 10 minutes before serving warm.
