Instructions
 

Prepare the Peach Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, cornstarch, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Toss gently to coat the peaches evenly. Let the mixture sit for about 15 minutes to marinate and release juices.

    Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

      Assemble the Fruit Layer: Pour the peach filling into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.

        Make the Cobbler Topping: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the melted butter, milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

          Top the Peaches: Spoon the cobbler topping over the peach filling. Spread it evenly, allowing some of the peaches to peek through for a rustic look. If desired, sprinkle the top with 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon for extra flavor.

            Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the cobbler comes out clean.

              Cool Slightly: Once done, remove from the oven and let the cobbler cool for about 10 minutes. This helps the juices thicken slightly.

                Serve: Scoop generous portions of the warm peach cobbler into serving bowls. Top with a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.

                  Enjoy: Indulge in the delightful combination of warm, juicy peaches and sweet, buttery topping contrasted with the cold, rich vanilla ice cream!
