While Krispy Kreme is known for its donuts rather than peach cobbler, you can still create a delicious peach cobbler at home using fresh or canned peaches. Here’s a recipe for a classic peach cobbler that you can enjoy:
Ingredients:
For the Peach Filling:
- 6 cups fresh or canned sliced peaches (about 6-7 medium peaches)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
For the Cobbler Topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
- Prepare the Peach Filling:
- If using fresh peaches, peel, pit, and slice them. If using canned peaches, drain the syrup.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and almond extract (if using). Stir until the peaches are evenly coated with the sugar mixture. Transfer the peach filling to the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
- Make the Cobbler Topping:
- In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Stir in the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract until a smooth batter forms. The batter will be thick.
- Assemble and Bake:
- Drop spoonfuls of the cobbler batter evenly over the top of the peach filling in the baking dish.
- Spread the batter out gently with a spatula to cover most of the peaches.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the cobbler topping is golden brown and cooked through, and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges.
- Serve:
- Allow the peach cobbler to cool slightly before serving.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
This homemade peach cobbler is a delicious and comforting dessert that’s perfect for enjoying year-round. The combination of sweet, juicy peaches and tender cobbler topping is sure to be a hit with family and friends.
