Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Fruit:
- 2 (29 ounces / 822 grams) cans sliced peaches in juice
Fat/Dairy:
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 350°F (175°C), ensuring the rack is positioned in the center for even heat distribution.
- Transfer the ripe peaches and their natural juices into a spacious 9×13-inch (23×33 cm) ceramic or glass baking dish, arranging them in an even, appetizing layer.
- Create the crumble base by combining all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and room-temperature butter in a medium mixing bowl, using fingertips to blend ingredients until they resemble coarse, sandy breadcrumbs.
- Gently distribute the crumbly mixture across the peach surface, ensuring complete and uniform coverage for a consistent texture.
- Sprinkle chopped pecans strategically over the crumble layer, allowing them to nestle into the topping for added crunch and nutty flavor.
- Position the assembled cobbler in the preheated oven, baking for 50-55 minutes until the top transforms into a golden-brown crust and the peach filling becomes effervescent and slightly caramelized around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and allow the cobbler to rest for 15-20 minutes, enabling the filling to set and flavors to meld before serving.
Notes
- Embrace Fresh Peach Alternatives: Swap canned peaches with ripe, seasonal fresh peaches for a vibrant, homemade taste that bursts with natural sweetness and juicy texture.
- Master the Butter Technique: Gently soften butter at room temperature, avoiding microwaving, to achieve that perfectly crumbly, melt-in-your-mouth topping texture.
- Create Topping Texture Manually: Use fingertips to blend ingredients, feeling the mixture transform into delicate, sandy crumbs that promise a delightful crispy layer.
- Strategic Pecan Placement Matters: Sprinkle toasted pecans as the final touch, allowing them to crisp up and add a delicious nutty crunch to the cobbler’s surface.
- Golden Brown Perfection Indicator: Watch for a rich, golden-brown topping and bubbling fruit edges as the ultimate sign of a perfectly baked cobbler ready to devour.
