Quick Peach Cobber

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the butter or margarine in a 9x13-inch baking dish and set it in the oven to melt.

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and milk until a smooth, thin batter forms with no lumps.

Carefully remove the baking dish from the oven once the butter has fully melted, then pour the batter evenly over the melted butter without stirring.

In a separate bowl, toss the sliced peaches with cinnamon and nutmeg until evenly coated.

Spoon the spiced peach slices evenly over the batter in the baking dish, distributing the fruit as uniformly as possible. Do not stir; the batter will rise up around the peaches during baking.

Sprinkle a light, even layer of sugar over the top of the peaches for added sweetness and a slightly crisp top.

Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and has risen around the fruit.

Remove the cobbler from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
