1-First Step: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 9×9 baking dish well. Butter or spray prevents sticking. Don’t skip this; it makes serving a breeze.

2-Second Step: In a bowl, mix 1 cup self-rising flour, 3/4 cup sugar, and 1/4 cup melted butter. Add an optional dash of cinnamon for warmth. Stir until crumbly takes 1 minute. This is your magic topping base.

3-Third Step: Sprinkle one-third of the flour mixture evenly on the bottom of the prepared dish. It creates a crisp layer that catches all the juices. Pat it down lightly.

4-Fourth Step: Pour in the 29-ounce can of peaches with their juice. For drier cobbler, use less juice. If fresh, use 1 3/4 pounds peeled, sliced peaches macerated with 1/2 cup sugar for 2-3 hours. Chop for even distribution!

5-Fifth Step: Sprinkle the remaining two-thirds of the flour mixture over the peaches. Then, sprinkle 2 tablespoons sugar on top and drizzle the remaining 1/4 cup melted butter evenly. It might look wet don’t worry, it bakes up perfect.

6-Sixth Step: Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes, until golden brown and bubbly around the edges. Rotate halfway if your oven runs hot. Rest 5 minutes post-bake; it sets up.

7-Final Step: Scoop warm servings and top with vanilla ice cream. Watch it melt into heaven. Double the recipe for a 9×13 dish great for parties.
