Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large ripe peaches, halved and pitted
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/3 cup whole milk (or almond milk for dairy-free)
  • Vanilla bean ice cream for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 375°F (190°C). If using a grill pan, warm it over medium heat.
  2. In a bowl, gently toss peach halves with brown sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Let sit for 10 minutes.
  3. Place peaches cut-side down on the grill. Grill for 4–5 minutes until grill marks appear and peaches soften slightly. Remove and let cool slightly.
  4. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in cold cubed butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Stir in milk until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Lightly butter an 8×8 inch oven-safe baking dish. Arrange grilled peaches cut-side up in the dish, spooning any juices over them.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of cobbler batter evenly over peaches, leaving gaps for topping to spread.
  8. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 30–35 minutes until topping is golden and peaches are bubbly.
  9. Let cobbler cool for 5 minutes, then serve topped with vanilla bean ice cream.

Notes

If the cobbler topping browns too quickly, tent loosely with foil halfway through baking. Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid mushy texture. Butter should be cold for a flaky topping. You can grill peaches ahead and refrigerate before assembling. For gluten-free, substitute flour with gluten-free blend; for dairy-free, use almond or coconut milk and dairy-free ice cream.
