Here are the ingredients you’ll need:

1. 4 cups of fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
2. 1 cup all-purpose flour
3. 1 cup granulated sugar
4. 1 teaspoon baking powder
5. 1/2 teaspoon salt
6. 1 cup milk
7. 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions:

4. Pour in the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract into the dry ingredients. Stir until well combined and smooth.
5. Pour the batter into the greased baking dish, spreading it evenly.
6. Carefully spoon the peaches and their juices over the batter. Sprinkle the ground cinnamon on top.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the peaches are bubbly.
8. Remove the peach cobbler from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
