Ingredients

• 1 stick (8 tablespoons) salted butter, cubed

• 1 cup light or dark brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1 tablespoon vanilla
• 5-6 peaches, cut into 8 wedges
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup

Maple Butter

• 4 tablespoons salted butter

4. Layer half of the peaches over the melted butter in the baking dish. Pour the batter over the peaches, but do not stir. Layer the remaining peaches over the batter.
5. Bake for 50-55 minutes, until the center is just set and the edges begin to brown.
6. Meanwhile, mix the butter and maple syrup together in a pan and boil for 2 minutes, then remove from the heat.
7. Serve the cobbler warm or at room temperature with ice cream and maple butter drizzled on top.
