How to Make It

Making this cobbler is simple and rewarding; just follow these steps:

Preheat

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Ensure your oven is fully heated before placing the dish inside for even cooking.

Combine

2. Combine filling ingredients in a mixing bowl: peaches, brown sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish.

Mix

3. Mix topping ingredients in another bowl: oats, flour, melted butter, white sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir until crumbly to create a nice texture.

Spread

4. Spread the oatmeal mixture evenly over the peaches in the baking dish, ensuring each bite has an ample topping.

Pour

5. Pour the milk over the top of the mixture. This will help to keep the topping moist while baking.

Bake

6. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the peaches are bubbling. Keep an eye on it to prevent over-browning.

Serve

7. Serve warm, optionally with ice cream for added indulgence.
