Let’s walk through this recipe step-by-step. Remember, cooking is an act of love, so take your time and enjoy the process.

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with a bit of butter.
2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Toss everything together until the peaches are well-coated.
3. Transfer the peach mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining 1/2 cup of sugar, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add the milk and melted butter, stirring until just combined to form a thick batter.
5. Pour the batter evenly over the peaches in the dish. Don’t worry if it doesn’t cover completely; it will spread as it bakes.
6. Bake the cobbler in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the peaches are bubbling around the edges.
7. Allow the cobbler to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. This gives the juices a chance to thicken and the flavors to meld beautifully.

One tip from my kitchen to yours: A little patience goes a long way. Letting the cobbler rest for a bit after baking ensures a perfect texture.
