Ingredients
- 1 can sliced peaches, drained

- 1 cup milk
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ cup melted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- Vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Batter
In an 8×8-inch baking dish, combine the Bisquick mix, milk, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Stir until just combined.
Add the melted butter and gently mix until incorporated. Avoid overmixing to keep the crust light and tender.
3. Prepare the Peaches
In a separate bowl, mix the drained peaches with sugar until evenly coated.
Pour the peach mixture evenly over the batter in the baking dish. Do not stir — the layers will settle during baking.
4. Bake
Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
5. Cool and Serve
Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the best experience.
