3. Assemble the Cobbler:

1. Pour the batter evenly into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
2. Spoon the peach mixture gently over the batter—do not stir (the batter will rise over the peaches during baking).
3. Optional: Sprinkle a little cinnamon and sugar on top for extra flavor.

Tips for the Best Peach Cobbler:

• Use ripe peaches: Fresh, ripe peaches give the best flavor, but canned or frozen peaches work too.
• Don't stir the batter and peaches: This ensures the crust forms on top properly.
• Add a hint of nutmeg: For a warm, spiced flavor.
