Description

A delightful and comforting dessert that elevates the classic peach cobbler by incorporating nutty, aromatic brown butter. This dish perfectly balances the vibrant, juicy sweetness of fresh, macerated stone fruits with a tender, golden-brown biscuit topping. Each serving offers a sophisticated contrast of textures, making it an ideal centerpiece for family gatherings and home-style baking enthusiasts looking for that gourmet touch without complex techniques.


Ingredients

Scale

6 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced thin
1 cup unsalted butter, divided
1 cup granulated sugar, divided
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1.5 cups whole milk, room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract


Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Toss the sliced peaches with half of the sugar in a bowl and let sit to release juices.
Transfer the peach mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
In a light-colored saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, stirring constantly until it foams and turns golden brown with a nutty aroma; remove from heat immediately.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining sugar, and baking powder.
Stir the milk, vanilla, and browned butter into the dry ingredients until just combined.
Pour the batter evenly over the peaches in the baking dish.
Bake for 45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.

Notes

Do not over-mix the batter; keeping it light ensures a better texture.
Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven for best results.
