Ingredients:
- For the Crust:
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
- 1/2 stick of unsalted butter
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- For the Gooey Layer:
- 1 stick unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- For the Peach Layer:
- 3 cups fresh or frozen peaches
Directions:
- Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Take a 9×13-inch pan and place 1/2 stick of butter in it. Allow the butter to melt in the oven.
- For the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine brown sugar, vanilla extract, and the remaining butter (excluding the one in the oven). Mix until you achieve a smooth consistency. Pour half of this crust mixture over the melted butter in the pan, ensuring you don’t stir.
- For the Peach Layer: In a medium saucepan, add the peaches. (If your peaches aren’t sweetened, consider adding a touch of sugar). Heat the peaches until they soften and release their natural juices. Once done, spoon these peaches evenly over the crust layer.
- For the Gooey Layer: Mix the melted butter with vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Pour this mixture over the peaches, ensuring you spread it evenly. Do not mix the layers.
- Drizzle the remaining crust mixture on top of the cobbler. Note: it won’t completely cover the gooey layer.
- Bake the cobbler in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes. Once done, allow it to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
Notes/Conclusion:
- Serving Suggestions: This cobbler is heavenly when served warm. Consider pairing it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
- Variations: If you’re feeling adventurous, you can add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg to the peach layer for added depth of flavor.
- Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
