Ingredients

Fruit Layer

6 ripe peaches – peeled and sliced evenly (about 6 cups)
2-3 tbsp fresh lemon juice – to brighten the fruit flavor

Dry Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour – forms the cobbler topping/batter
½-¾ cup granulated baking-friendly sugar alternative – divided between the batter and topping layers
(Use a baking-friendly sweetener designed to replace sugar in desserts.)
2 tsp baking powder – helps the cobbler rise
½ tsp ground nutmeg – adds warm spice flavor
1 tsp ground cinnamon – classic peach pairing

Wet Ingredients

1 cup milk – to bind the dry ingredients into batter
¾ cup (≈170 g) butter – melted in the baking dish

Tip: If you want a dairy-free variation, you can substitute unsweetened almond milk for milk and coconut oil for butter.

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to a steady baking temperature and lightly grease the baking dish if needed

2. Combine the flour, half of the sugar alternative, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large bowl and whisk until evenly blended

3. Pour in the milk and gently mix just until a smooth batter forms without overmixing

4. Place the butter into the baking dish and set it in the oven until fully melted

5. Carefully remove the dish from the oven and pour the batter evenly over the melted butter without stirring

6. Arrange the sliced peaches evenly over the batter surface

7. Drizzle the lemon juice across the peaches and sprinkle the remaining sugar alternative on top

8. Bake until the fruit is bubbling and the top is golden brown with a soft center

9. Remove from the oven and allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving

Notes

Choose peaches that are ripe but still firm for the best texture

Use a sugar alternative designed for baking to achieve proper sweetness and browning

Avoid stirring the layers after assembling to allow the cobbler topping to form correctly

An alcohol free vanilla flavor such as Alcohol Free Simply Organic Vanilla Flavor or Watkins Clear Vanilla Flavor can be added for extra aroma

Let the cobbler rest briefly after baking so the juices can set
