Ingredients
  

  • 8 fresh peaches - peeled pitted and sliced into thin wedges
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar packed
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar packed
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 12 tablespoons cold unsalted butter cut into small pieces
  • ½ cup boiling water

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and position a rack in the center.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Gently toss until the peaches are evenly coated. Allow to sit for 10 minutes so the peaches can release some of their juices.
  3. Meanwhile, prepare the cobbler topping. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, both sugars, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the cold butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces remaining.
  5. Pour the boiling water into the mixture and stir just until combined. The dough will be slightly sticky.
  6. Transfer the peach mixture to a 9x13 inch baking dish, making sure to include all the accumulated juices.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of the cobbler topping evenly over the peaches, covering most of the surface but allowing some gaps for the filling to bubble through.
  8. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
  9. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This allows the filling to set slightly.
