1️⃣ Prepare the peaches by peeling and slicing them. Toss the slices with sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cornstarch, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Let them sit briefly to develop flavor.
2️⃣ Transfer the peach mixture into a buttered baking dish, spreading evenly.
3️⃣ For the topping, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Cut cold butter into the mixture until it forms coarse crumbs. Gradually stir in milk or cream to create a soft dough.
4️⃣ Drop spoonfuls of the dough over the peaches, leaving small gaps for the juices to bubble through. Sprinkle the topping with sugar for a golden, caramelized finish.
5️⃣ Bake the cobbler in a preheated oven until the crust is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling.
6️⃣ Serve the peach cobbler warm, paired with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an indulgent treat.
