Ingredients
  

  • 1 large can of sliced peaches drained
  • 1 cup Bisquick mix
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • Vanilla ice cream optional for serving

Instructions
 

Preheat and Prep

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Pour the melted butter into the bottom of a 9×9-inch baking dish. Tip: Tilt the pan to evenly coat the bottom. This buttery layer helps create that crisp, golden base everyone loves.

Mix the Batter

  • In a mixing bowl, combine Bisquick, milk, sugar, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Stir until smooth and well blended. Tip: Don’t overmix—a few lumps are okay. The batter should be pourable but not too thin.

Layer the Dish

  • Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the dish. Do not stir. Arrange the drained peach slices on top of the batter. Tip: Resist the urge to mix—this layering creates that signature cobbler crust. As it bakes, the batter will rise through the fruit and create a light, cakey top.

Bake

  • Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Tip: If the top browns too quickly, tent with foil during the last 10 minutes. You can also rotate the dish halfway through baking for even browning.

Cool and Serve

  • Let the cobbler cool for 10 minutes before serving. This helps the juices thicken and the flavors meld. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream, if desired. Tip: The flavors deepen beautifully if allowed to sit for a few hours, making this a great make-ahead dessert.

Notes

  • Don’t Stir the Layers: The layering creates that self-rising magic and golden crust.
  • Add Nuts: A sprinkle of chopped pecans or walnuts on top before baking adds crunch and a nutty depth.
  • Spice It Up: Add ground ginger, cardamom, or even a splash of bourbon for a unique twist.
  • Fresh Fruit Option: Use peeled and sliced fresh peaches—just sweeten slightly before layering.
  • Serve to Impress: Bake in individual ramekins for elegant single-serve portions.
