A rich and buttery peach cobbler featuring a nutty brown butter crust paired with juicy peaches, perfect for summer desserts and gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 medium fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 900g / 2 lbs)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (100g) for peach filling
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • A pinch of ground nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (115g / 1 stick), browned
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (125g)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (50g) for topping
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup whole milk (120ml), room temperature
  • 1 large egg, beaten, room temperature
  • Vanilla bean ice cream, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) oven-safe baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine sliced peaches, 1/2 cup sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Toss gently and let macerate for about 10 minutes.
  3. In a small saucepan or skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir frequently until it foams and turns golden brown with a nutty aroma. Remove from heat immediately.
  4. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, 1/4 cup sugar, and salt. In a separate small bowl, beat the egg with milk. Slowly pour the browned butter into the wet ingredients, then combine with the dry ingredients until just mixed; do not overmix.
  5. Pour the peach mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading evenly. Spoon the batter over the peaches in dollops, allowing some fruit to peek through.
  6. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the batter comes out clean. The filling should be bubbling around the edges.
  7. Let cool slightly for about 10 minutes to thicken the filling.
  8. Serve warm topped with generous scoops of vanilla bean ice cream.

Notes

Brown the butter slowly over medium-low heat and stir constantly to avoid burning. Macerate peaches with sugar and lemon juice for 10 minutes before baking to thicken filling. Do not overmix batter to keep topping tender. Tent with foil if browning too quickly. Peeling peaches is easier after blanching in boiling water for 30 seconds.
