This recipe is sensitive to the exact proportions, so even a small variation can impact the taste and texture.After baking the cobbler, it’s essential to let it rest for at least 3 hours in the refrigerator, or even overnight, before serving.

Plus, nothing beats the taste and feeling of biting into a fresh, ripepeach—juice dripping down your face and all. The vitamin A in peaches supports healthy vision, and the vitamin C will give your immune system a healthy boost. Peaches also provide some potassium, which is good for blood pressure.Whilewhite whole-wheat flourcomes from a different type of wheat than regular whole-wheat flour, it has virtually the same nutritional profile as regular whole-wheat flour. This includes the amount of fiber, protein, healthy fat, vitamins and minerals. The main difference is thatwhite whole-wheat flourtends to be lighter in color and texture, so your topping won’t be as dense as it would be if you used regular whole-wheat flour.Cornmealadds some texture to the topping, as well as plant protein, B vitamins, iron and a tiny bit of fiber. While sweet corn is a vegetable, cornmeal is a grain made from a different type of corn that’s been dried and ground up. Typically, cornmeal is not a whole grain since the outer layers of the corn kernel have been removed. With that said, some brands do use the whole kernel. Look for “whole-grain” on the package if you want to add a little more fiber to your topping—just be sure the cornmeal is ground fine or you might end up with a more crumbly topping.

Directions
Preheat oven to 375°F.
To prepare filling: Combine 1 1/4 pounds of peaches, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1/4 teaspoon lemon zest, 1 tablespoon lemon juice and a pinch of salt in a large bowl; toss to coat. Transfer to a 9-inch shallow glass or ceramic baking dish.
To prepare topping: Whisk 1 cup flour, 1/2 cup cornmeal, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon baking soda and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl until well blended. Whisk 1 egg, 1/2 cup buttermilk, 1/4 cup oil and 2 tablespoons sugar in a small bowl. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir to blend.
Stir the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon together in a small bowl and set aside.
Evenly spoon the batter over top of the peach mixture. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar evenly over the topping. Place the baking dish on a baking sheet to catch any drips. Bake until the peaches are bubbly, the topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center of the topping comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes. Let cool for about 20 minutes before serving.
Frequently Asked Questions
Both are desserts, but with a cobbler, the fruit is topped with biscuit batter, whereas a double-crust fruit pie is made with pastry crust encasing the fruit filling, while a single-crust pie provides the base for the fruit.
This recipe calls for peeling them, and we think it’s worth the effort because the cobbler filling and texture are so much better without the skin. If fully ripe, blanch the peaches in boiling water for 20 to 30 seconds. For firmer peaches, blanch for 1 minute. Watch for the skin to start peeling back. Transfer to an ice bath for 5 minutes, then slip off the peel or use a vegetable peeler.
Serve it with a fresh whipped topping or vanilla ice cream.
Yes. Leftover cobbler should be stored in the refrigerator. If you want to keep it in the dish you baked it in, simply cover it with aluminum foil; otherwise, put it in an airtight container. The cobbler should be good for up to 3 days.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
