Ingredients
For the Peach Filling:
- 6 cups sliced fresh or canned peaches
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
For the Cream Cheese Layer:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Cobbler Topping:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ¾ cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure easy serving.
- Make Peach Filling: In a large bowl, mix the sliced peaches with sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and lemon juice until thoroughly combined to create a flavorful filling.
- Spread Peach Mixture: Evenly spread the peach filling into the prepared baking dish to form the base layer of the cobbler.
- Prepare Cream Cheese Layer: Beat together the softened cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy, creating a rich middle layer.
- Add Cream Cheese Layer: Spoon the cream cheese mixture over the peach filling and gently spread it to cover the peaches evenly without mixing layers.
- Mix Cobbler Topping: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in melted butter and milk until a thick batter forms.
- Top the Cobbler: Carefully spoon the batter over the cream cheese layer and spread as evenly as possible to create the cobbler topping.
- Bake: Bake the assembled cobbler for 45–55 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and cooked through, ensuring the cobbler is set and bubbly.
- Cool Before Serving: Allow the cobbler to cool for 15–20 minutes so the layers can set and it is easier to serve.
- Serve: Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for added indulgence.
Notes
- If using canned peaches, drain them well before adding them to the filling to prevent excess moisture.
- Fresh, ripe peaches provide the best flavor when they are in season.
- Avoid overmixing the topping batter to keep it tender and light.
- Let the cobbler rest before serving so the layers can set slightly for easier slicing.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days to maintain freshness.
