Peach Cobbler

• Fresh peaches. Approximately 5 medium peaches (600g – weight after pitted and peeled)
• 1 cup all-purpose flour (120g)
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar (150g)
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons baking powder (8g)
• 1 cup milk (228ml or 8oz)
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
• 1/2 cup butter (1 stick or 113g)
• ~35 red hot cinnamon candies (20g)
• 2 tablespoons light brown sugar (37g)

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. Remove pit and skin from peaches. Slice and set aside.
3. In a separate bowl whisk together flour, sugar, spices, salt, and baking powder.
4. Add milk and extracts to the flour mixture. Mix until combined and smooth. Set batter aside.
5. Cut butter into large pieces and add to the bottom of an oven-safe baking dish (2 to 2.5-quart volume).
6. Melt butter in the oven for approximately 5 minutes. Remove the baking dish from the oven.
7. Pour the batter mixture directly over the melted butter. No need to mix.
8. Add sliced peaches on top of the batter and butter in the baking dish. Make sure the fruit is well distributed in an even layer.
9. Sprinkle the top of the peaches with red hot cinnamon candy.
10. Sprinkle brown sugar over the top of the cobbler.  
11. Bake at 350°F for 45-50 minutes until the top is golden brown and the center is set (does not jiggle).
12. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
13. Spoon cobbler out of the baking dish. You can serve warm, cold, or at room temperature.
14. Store covered in the refrigerator for a few days.
