Ingredients
  

4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice

Zest of 1 lime

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust according to your spice preference)

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup buttermilk

1/4 cup vegetable oil

Optional: Creamy vanilla ice cream for serving

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to preheat at 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking.

    Prepare the Peach Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches with granulated sugar, cornstarch, lime juice, lime zest, cayenne pepper, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir the mixture gently until the peaches are well-coated, then let it sit for about 10 minutes. This resting time allows the peaches to release their delightful juices, enhancing the overall flavor.

      Prepare the Baking Dish: Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray. Carefully pour the peach mixture into the dish, ensuring an even distribution. Dot the top with small pieces of butter for an extra touch of richness.

        Make the Cobbler Topping: In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the buttermilk and vegetable oil to the dry ingredients. Mix lightly until just combined—be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine, and it will create a thick batter.

          Assemble the Cobbler: Using a spoon, dollop the cobbler batter over the peach filling. Allow some of the fruit filling to remain visible for a rustic presentation. The batter will spread slightly while baking, creating a beautiful texture atop the peaches.

            Bake the Cobbler: Place the assembled cobbler in the preheated oven. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the topping is a lovely golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

              Cool and Serve: After baking, let the cobbler cool for at least 10 minutes. This cooling period allows the flavors to meld beautifully. Serve warm, preferably with a generous scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat.
