In a large bowl, mix the sliced peaches with: - 2 tablespoons lemon juice - 1/2 cup brown sugar - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon - 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg Gently toss the peaches until they are well coated. Let them sit for about 10 minutes. This helps the flavors blend and makes the peaches nice and soft. Now, let’s make the batter. In another bowl, whisk together: - 1 cup all-purpose flour - 1 cup granulated sugar - 1 tablespoon baking powder - 1/2 teaspoon salt Next, add: - 1/2 cup milk - 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted Stir these together until just combined. It’s okay if the batter is a bit lumpy. Do not overmix or your cobbler will be tough. It’s time to layer everything in the pot. Pour the peach mixture into the bottom of your greased Instant Pot. Then, carefully spoon the batter over the peaches. Try to cover the peaches as much as you can with the batter. Close the lid and set the valve to sealing. Select the “Pressure Cook” function and set the timer for 15 minutes. After cooking, let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes. Then, do a quick release for the rest of the steam. This helps create a soft and fluffy cobbler. After cooking, check if it’s done by using a cake tester or toothpick. If it comes out clean, your cobbler is ready! If it needs more time, use the “Sauté” function for a few minutes without the lid. This will give it a nice golden top. Now you are ready to enjoy this delicious Instant Pot Peach Cobbler! For more details, check the Full Recipe. Proper peach selection Choose ripe, fresh peaches. They should smell sweet and feel slightly soft. Avoid hard or overly soft peaches. This helps ensure your cobbler has the best flavor and texture. Ensuring even cooking To cook the cobbler evenly, layer the ingredients well. Pour the peach mixture first, then spread the batter over it. This method helps the batter cook through without leaving raw spots. Cooking time for different altitudes If you live at a high altitude, adjust the cooking time. Increase the time by 1-2 minutes at elevations above 3,000 feet. This change helps the cobbler cook properly and not turn out gummy. Modifying for a crispier top For a crispier top, use the “Sauté” function after pressure cooking. Let it cook uncovered for a few minutes. This technique gives a nice golden color to the top of your cobbler. Best accompaniments Serve your peach cobbler with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. The creaminess pairs well with the warm, sweet cobbler. You can also add a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor. Ideal temperature for serving Serve peach cobbler warm, around 15-20 minutes after cooking. This allows the flavors to meld. If you wait too long, it may cool down too much and lose its appeal.

You can also try other stone fruits, like plums or cherries. Each fruit adds its own flavor and sweetness. Just remember, the cooking time stays the same. Feel free to mix and match fruits for a fun twist! If you need a gluten-free option, you can easily swap the flour and baking powder. Use almond flour or a gluten-free blend instead. For baking powder, look for a gluten-free brand. This makes it easy for everyone to enjoy your peach cobbler without worry. The taste and texture will still be delicious! To make your cobbler even tastier, consider adding nuts or spices. Chopped pecans or walnuts add a nice crunch. You can also mix in a pinch of ginger or cardamom for a unique flavor twist.

Ingredients
  

4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup milk

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Peaches: In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, lemon juice, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss gently to coat the peaches evenly. Set aside to macerate for about 10 minutes.

    Make the Cobbler Batter: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the milk and melted butter to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. The batter will be slightly lumpy; do not overmix.

      Layer in Instant Pot: Pour the peach mixture into the bottom of the greased Instant Pot. Carefully spoon the batter over the peaches, ensuring the batter covers as much of the peaches as possible.

        Cook: Close the lid of the Instant Pot and set the valve to sealing. Select the “Pressure Cook” function and set the timer for 15 minutes. Once cooking is complete, allow to naturally release pressure for 10 minutes before doing a quick release for any remaining steam.

          Finish the Cobbler: Carefully remove the lid and use a cake tester or toothpick to check if the cobbler is cooked through - it should come out clean. If needed, select the “Sauté” function to cook for an additional few minutes without the lid for a golden top.

            Serve: Let it cool slightly before serving. Scoop out portions of the peach cobbler and serve warm topped with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream if desired.
