First, preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Step 2
In a roomy bowl, mix together the thinly sliced peaches, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon, freshly squeezed lemon juice, nutmeg, and cornstarch.
Step 3
Then, stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure even coating, transfer it into a 2-quart baking dish, and put the dish into the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes.
Step 4
While the peaches are baking, take a large bowl and mix together the flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Step 5
Next, blend the butter into the dry mixture using your fingertips or a pastry blender until the texture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add water and mix until the dough comes together uniformly.
Step 6
Then, take the peach-filled baking dish out of the oven and carefully pour the prepared filling over the peaches. Evenly sprinkle the sugar-cinnamon mixture all across the cobbler.
Step 7
Finally, bake until the topping turns a beautiful golden brown, which should take approximately 30 minutes.
