Peach and Nectarine Cobbler

Ingredients

• Peaches (4, pitted and sliced)
• Nectarines (4, pitted and sliced)
• Granulated sugar (1/2 cup)
• Lemon juice (1 tablespoon)
• Cinnamon (1 teaspoon)
• Vanilla extract (1 teaspoon)
• All-purpose flour (1/2 cup, divided)
• Brown sugar (1/4 cup)
• Baking powder (1 teaspoon)
• Salt (1/4 teaspoon)
• Milk (1/2 cup)
• Unsalted butter (4 tablespoons, melted)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, sliced nectarines, granulated sugar, 1/4 cup of the all-purpose flour, lemon juice, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined and let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow the juices to meld.
3. Pour the fruit mixture into a 9x9-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.
4. In a separate bowl, mix together the melted butter, brown sugar, remaining 1/4 cup of flour, baking powder, salt, and milk. Stir until a thick batter forms.
5. Drop spoonfuls of the batter over the fruit mixture in the baking dish, creating a rustic topping.
6. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the fruit is bubbly.
7. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
8. Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra touch of indulgence.
