- 4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced - 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice - 1/2 cup packed brown sugar - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon - 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg - 1 cup all-purpose flour - 1 cup granulated sugar - 1 tablespoon baking powder - 1/2 teaspoon salt - 1/2 cup whole milk - 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled To make a great Instant Pot peach cobbler, you need fresh peaches. They give the cobbler its sweet and juicy flavor. I like using ripe peaches for the best taste. You will also need lemon juice to keep the peaches bright. Brown sugar adds a rich flavor, while granulated sugar sweetens the batter. The spices, like cinnamon and nutmeg, bring warmth to the dish. Baking powder and flour are your main baking essentials. They help the cobbler rise and create a fluffy texture. Salt balances the sweetness in the batter. Whole milk and melted butter create a rich, moist batter that complements the peaches. - Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream - Fresh mint for garnish For added delight, you can top your peach cobbler with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. It melts slightly on warm cobbler, creating a creamy layer. A sprig of fresh mint adds a pop of color and a hint of freshness to your dish. - Alternative sweeteners like honey or maple syrup - Gluten-free flour options like almond or coconut flour If you need to cut sugar, consider using honey or maple syrup instead. They can sweeten without losing flavor. For those who need gluten-free options, almond or coconut flour works well. Just remember to adjust the amount, as they may absorb more moisture. The full recipe will guide you through creating this delicious Instant Pot peach cobbler. To start, you need to prepare the peaches. First, peel and slice 4 cups of fresh peaches. In a large bowl, mix the sliced peaches with 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice, 1/2 cup of packed brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon each of pure vanilla extract and ground cinnamon. Add 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg for that extra warmth. Toss everything gently until the peaches are well coated. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes. This maceration process helps the peaches release their juices, enhancing their flavor. Next, let's make the cobbler batter. In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Whisk these ingredients together until they are evenly mixed. Now, pour in 1/2 cup of whole milk and 1/4 cup of melted unsalted butter. Stir the mixture with a spatula until just combined. Remember, a lumpy batter is key to a great texture. Avoid overmixing to keep the cobbler light and fluffy. Now, it’s time to cook. First, grease the inner pot of your Instant Pot with a little butter or oil. Pour the peach mixture into the pot and spread it out evenly. Carefully dollop the cobbler batter over the peaches, covering as much of the fruit as possible without fully mixing them. Secure the lid on the Instant Pot and turn the valve to the sealing position. Select the “Pressure Cook” or “Manual” setting and set the timer for 15 minutes. After cooking, let the Instant Pot naturally release pressure for 10 minutes. Then, perform a quick release for any remaining steam. Once you remove the lid, check if the cobbler is done. Insert a cake tester or toothpick into the center. It should come out clean. If it needs more time, use the “Sauté” function without the lid for 2-5 minutes until the top is golden. Finally, allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving. You can scoop it into bowls and top it with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream if you like. For a special touch, serve it in clear glass bowls to show off the beautiful layers. Enjoy your Instant Pot Peach Cobbler! Avoiding Overmixing Mix your batter gently. Stir until the ingredients just combine. If you mix too much, your cobbler may turn out dense. A few lumps are normal and will give a nice texture. Cooking Time Adjustments Every Instant Pot can cook a bit differently. If your cobbler seems undercooked, add a few extra minutes. For overcooked cobbler, try reducing the time next time. The key is to keep an eye on it and adjust as needed. Complementary Ingredients Serve your peach cobbler with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. A scoop of cold ice cream adds creaminess to the warm cobbler. You can also sprinkle some cinnamon or nutmeg on top for extra flavor. Presentation Ideas For a stunning look, use clear glass bowls. This way, you can show off the beautiful layers of peaches and batter. Add a sprig of fresh mint for a pop of color. This small touch makes your dish feel special. Under or Overcooked Cobbler If your cobbler is undercooked, it will be gooey in the middle. If it’s overcooked, the top may be too dry. Always check with a toothpick to see if it comes out clean. Adjust cooking time based on your results. Adjusting Flavor Profiles If your cobbler is too sweet, you can add a squeeze of lemon juice. This will balance the sweetness. If it lacks flavor, sprinkle in a bit more cinnamon or nutmeg. Taste as you go to find your perfect flavor. For the full recipe, check out the details above. {{image_4}} You can swap peaches for other fruit. Try fresh berries or juicy apples. Pears and cherries also work well. Mixing different fruits gives new flavors. For a tropical touch, add pineapples or mangoes. Each fruit brings its own sweetness and texture. Experiment to find your perfect mix. Cutting back on sugar is easy. Use less brown sugar, or try honey. You can also use maple syrup for a unique taste. For a vegan version, replace milk with almond or coconut milk. Use a plant-based butter for the batter. These swaps keep the flavor while making it healthier. You can serve peach cobbler in many ways. Individual servings look pretty in small bowls. Family-style serving is great for gatherings. You can serve it warm or cold. Cold cobbler is refreshing on hot days. Warm cobbler with ice cream is a cozy treat.

To keep your Instant Pot Peach Cobbler fresh, store it right. First, let it cool to room temperature. Then, place the cobbler in the fridge. Use an airtight non-glass container for best results. This will help it stay moist and tasty. Aim to eat your leftovers within three days for the best flavor. You can freeze peach cobbler if you want to save some for later. Cut the cobbler into pieces. Wrap each piece in plastic wrap tightly. Then, place the wrapped pieces in a freezer bag. Make sure to remove as much air as possible. This helps prevent freezer burn. Your cobbler can stay fresh for up to three months in the freezer. When you’re ready to eat, simply thaw it in the fridge overnight. To enjoy your peach cobbler again, reheating is key. The best method is to use the oven. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the cobbler in an oven-safe dish and cover it with foil. Heat for about 15-20 minutes until warm. This keeps the texture nice. You can also use the microwave for a quicker option. Just heat a piece for about 30 seconds. But be careful, as it may get soggy.

To enjoy, thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating. Yes, you can use canned peaches. However, the texture and taste might change. Canned peaches are softer than fresh peaches. This can make your cobbler mushier. If you choose canned peaches, drain them well to remove excess syrup. You may also reduce the sugar in the recipe since canned peaches are often sweetened. Yes, you can bake this cobbler in a traditional oven. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare the peach filling and cobbler batter as usual. Pour the peach mixture into a greased baking dish.

Ingredients
  

4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup whole milk

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled

Whipped cream or creamy vanilla ice cream for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Peaches: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches with lemon juice, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Gently toss the ingredients together until the peaches are well-coated. Set the bowl aside for about 10 minutes, allowing the peaches to macerate and release their juices.

    Make the Cobbler Batter: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly mixed. Pour in the whole milk and melted butter, then stir the mixture with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should remain slightly lumpy for optimal texture.

      Layer in Instant Pot: Grease the inner pot of the Instant Pot with a little butter or oil. Pour the prepared peach mixture into the bottom of the pot, spreading it out evenly. Carefully dollop the cobbler batter over the peaches, trying to cover as much of the fruit as you can without fully mixing them together.

        Cook: Secure the lid on the Instant Pot and turn the valve to the sealing position. Select the “Pressure Cook” or “Manual” setting and set the timer for 15 minutes. When the cooking cycle is complete, allow the Instant Pot to naturally release pressure for 10 minutes. After that, perform a quick release for any remaining steam.

          Finish the Cobbler: Once the lid is removed, check for doneness by inserting a cake tester or toothpick into the center of the cobbler. It should come out clean. If the cobbler needs more cooking, select the “Sauté” function without the lid and allow it to cook for an additional 2-5 minutes until the top is golden and set.

            Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving. Scoop generous portions into bowls or dessert dishes, and if desired, top with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful treat.
