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.
