How to Make Light Fresh Peach Cobbler

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large saucepan, combine 4 cups peeled and sliced fresh peaches, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  3. Toss gently to coat the peaches evenly.
  4. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens, about 1-2 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat and pour the peach mixture into an 8x8 inch baking pan.
  6. To make the topping, in a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  7. Cut in 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted margarine using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  8. Stir in 1/2 cup milk until just combined. Do not overmix.
  9. Drop 8 rounded tablespoons of the topping evenly over the peach filling.
  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  11. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
