How to Make It

Start by following these easy steps for a delicious peach cobbler.

1. Cook Peaches

Place peaches, 3/4 cup sugar, and cornstarch in a medium pot. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently. Keep an eye on them as you continue with the rest of the recipe.

2. Prepare Milk Mixture

Stir almond milk and apple cider vinegar together in a cup and let it sit.

3. Melt Butter

Place buttery spread in a 9 x 13” casserole dish. Turn the oven on to 350°. Put the casserole dish in the oven to let the butter melt. The buttery spread will take about 5-6 minutes to melt.

4. Mix Dry Ingredients

Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Stir in the milk mixture until just combined.

5. Assemble Cobbler

Remove the casserole dish from the oven and pour the batter mixture over the melted buttery spread. Don’t stir; you can lightly spread the batter out if needed.

6. Add Peach Filling

Spoon the peach mixture evenly over the batter mixture. Again, don’t stir; allow layers to form.

7. Bake

Bake for 50-55 minutes until golden brown and the batter is cooked through.
