Follow these straightforward steps to create your own Fresh Peach Cobbler:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the Peaches: In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches with 1/2 cup of sugar, ground cinnamon, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Toss until well mixed and set aside.
3. Make the Batter: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining 1/2 cup of sugar, baking powder, and salt.
4. Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the milk and melted butter to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. The batter will be somewhat lumpy; that’s okay!
5. Pour Batters: Pour the batter evenly into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading it out lightly.
6. Add Peaches: Spoon the peach mixture over the batter. Do not stir; this will create a lovely marbled effect as it bakes.
7. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
8. Check Doneness: Insert a toothpick into the cobbler to ensure it comes out clean.
9. Cool Slightly: Once out of the oven, allow it to cool for about 10-15 minutes before serving.

These simple steps will lead you to a delicious Fresh Peach Cobbler that you can enjoy warm from the oven.
