Instructions
-
Prepare the peaches: Start by thoroughly washing the peaches. Peel their skin, remove the pits, and slice them into bite-sized pieces. Transfer the peach slices to a large mixing bowl.
-
Preheat the oven: Set your oven to preheat at 220°C (425°F) so it’s ready when the cobbler is prepared.
-
Season the peaches: To the sliced peaches, add 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon powder, 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg, and 1 teaspoon of cornstarch. Drizzle in 1 teaspoon of lemon juice, then toss the peaches gently to ensure they are evenly coated with the spices and cornstarch.
-
Bake the peaches: Spread the spiced peach mixture evenly on a non-greased baking tray or dish and bake for 10 minutes. The peaches will soften and release their juices during this time.
-
Prepare the topping: While the peaches are baking, in another large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, white sugar, salt, and baking powder. Add the cold salted butter cubes and, using your fingertips, rub the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse sand.
-
Form the dough: Gradually pour in the boiling water, mixing as you go, until the dough comes together and forms a sticky, slightly wet consistency.
-
Assemble the cobbler: After the peaches have baked for 10 minutes, remove them from the oven. Spoon the prepared topping over the peach mixture, spreading it evenly to cover the fruit. The topping may not cover the peaches entirely, which is perfectly fine.
-
Add the finishing touch: For a beautiful, caramelized finish, mix 4 tablespoons of sugar with 1-1/2 teaspoons of cinnamon powder. Sprinkle this mixture over the topping before placing the cobbler back into the oven.
-
Bake the cobbler: Return the cobbler to the oven and bake for an additional 35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown, slightly crispy, and the peach filling is bubbling with caramelization.
-
Serve: Once your eggless peach cobbler is golden and bubbly, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving. For an extra indulgent touch, serve with a scoop of vanilla or chocolate ice cream on top of the warm cobbler.
Notes & Tips
- You can substitute whole wheat flour for all-purpose flour for a more wholesome version of this dessert.
- For a touch of extra sweetness, drizzle some honey or maple syrup over the cobbler when serving.
- Leftover cobbler can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven for a delightful second serving the next day.
