Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 40 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour

Ingredients:

For the Filling:

8 fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
1/4 cup white sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon almond or vanilla extract
2 teaspoons cornstarch
For the Topping:

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup white sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
1/4 cup boiling water
3 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
To Serve:

Vanilla ice cream
Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large bowl, mix the sliced peaches, 1/4 cup white sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and almond or vanilla extract. Sprinkle cornstarch over the mixture and toss everything together until the peaches are coated evenly.
Transfer the peach mixture into a 2-quart baking dish or divide it among 5-6 individual baking dishes. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes.
While the peaches are baking, prepare the topping. In a medium bowl, combine flour, 1/4 cup white sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to blend in the chilled butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the boiling water until just combined.
In a small bowl, mix 3 tablespoons of white sugar with 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
Remove the peaches from the oven and spoon the topping over them in a rustic manner. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the topping.
Place the cobbler back in the oven and bake for an additional 25-35 minutes, or until the topping turns golden brown.
Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Serve the warm peach cobbler with scoops of vanilla ice cream on top.
Enjoy this delightful Old-Fashioned Peach Cobbler as a comforting dessert!
