Ingredients
- 4 medium peaches, peeled and sliced
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Peaches
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a bowl, gently toss the sliced peaches with the cinnamon. This will help bring out their natural sweetness and add a warm, comforting flavor.
Step 2: Make the Batter
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Make sure everything is well combined so the baking powder is evenly distributed, which will help your cobbler rise.
Step 3: Add Wet Ingredients
Pour in the milk and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.
Step 4: Assemble the Cobblers
Divide the peaches evenly among four oven-safe ramekins. Pour the batter evenly over the peaches in each ramekin.
Step 5: Sprinkle with Brown Sugar
Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the top of each cobbler. This will create a delicious, slightly caramelized crust.
Step 6: Bake
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peaches are bubbling. A toothpick inserted into the center of the topping should come out clean.
Step 7: Cool Slightly
Let the Individual Peach Cobblers cool for a few minutes before serving. This allows the filling to thicken slightly and prevents you from burning your mouth on the hot peaches.
Serving Suggestions
These mini peach cobblers are fantastic on their own, still slightly warm from the oven. However, a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream elevates them to another level of deliciousness. The cold creaminess contrasts beautifully with the warm, sweet cobbler.
For a brunch gathering, serve these Individual Peach Cobblers alongside a frittata and some mimosas. They also make a lovely dessert after a summer barbecue or any casual dinner. The individual portions make serving and clean-up a breeze.
Consider adding a sprinkle of chopped nuts, like pecans or almonds, for added texture and flavor.
Storage and Reheating
If you have any leftover Individual Peach Cobblers (which is unlikely!), you can store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Cover the ramekins tightly with plastic wrap or transfer the cobblers to an airtight container.
To reheat, you can microwave them for about 30-60 seconds until warmed through. For a crispier topping, reheat them in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 10-15 minutes. Be sure to check them frequently to prevent burning.
