Here are the ingredients you’ll need:
- 4 cups of fresh peaches, peeled and sliced

Instructions:

- Pour the batter into the greased baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Carefully spoon the peaches and their juices over the batter. Sprinkle the ground cinnamon on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the peaches are bubbly.
- Remove the peach cobbler from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
