1/2 cup granulated sugar Adds sweetness to balance the tartness of fresh peaches.
1/4 cup arrowroot starch Helps thicken the peach filling for a delightful texture.
1/8 teaspoon salt Enhances the flavors of the peaches.
6 cups peeled fresh sliced peaches Choose ripe, juicy peaches to make this cobbler a delight.
1 teaspoon lemon zest Brightens the flavor with a refreshing citrus note.
2 tablespoons lemon juice Adds acidity that complements the sweetness of the peaches.

1 cup all-purpose flour The base for your buttery, crumbly topping.
2/3 cup granulated sugar Sweetens the topping, balancing the peach filling.
1 teaspoon baking powder Provides lift to the topping, giving it a light texture.
1/2 teaspoon salt Enhances the overall flavor.
1/2 cup unsalted butter Melting it adds richness and a lovely crumb.
1/4 cup sour cream Keeps the topping moist and tender.
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract Enhances the dessert's comfort.
2 tablespoons turbinado sugar Sprinkled on top for a lovely crunch.

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Place a rimmed baking sheet lined with foil in the oven. Lightly grease a 9 x 11-inch baking dish or 11-inch oval baking dish.
In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, 1/4 cup of arrowroot starch, and 1/8 teaspoon of salt. Add 6 cups of sliced fresh peaches, 1 teaspoon of lemon zest, and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Gently toss until combined, and then spoon the peach filling into your prepared baking dish.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 2/3 cup of granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Add 1/2 cup of melted unsalted butter, 1/4 cup of sour cream, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Fold together until a cookie-like dough forms, then drop by spoonfuls over the peach filling. Finally, sprinkle 2 tablespoons of turbinado sugar on top.
Place the baking dish on the preheated baking sheet and bake for 65 minutes, or until the topping is golden and the filling is bubbling. Move the baking dish to the top rack for the last 5 minutes for a golden top.
Allow the cobbler to cool on a wire rack for 1 hour before serving.
If you have leftovers, store them tightly covered or in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a 325°F oven for about 15 minutes.

Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra touch of deliciousness.
