<strong>Instructions:</strong>
<ol>
<li>Preheat Oven & Prepare Filling: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, lemon juice, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir gently to combine all ingredients. Transfer the peach mixture to a 9×13-inch baking dish.</li>
<li>Initial Bake for Filling: Bake the peach filling in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. While the peach filling bakes, proceed with preparing the topping.</li>
<li>Prepare Topping Mixture: In a clean mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add the chilled and grated butter to the dry ingredients and toss to combine, coating the butter in the flour mixture.</li>
<li>Add Boiling Water to Topping: Stir in the 1/2 cup boiling water quickly, just until combined. The batter will be lumpy, which is desired for cobbler topping. Do not overmix.</li>
<li>Add Topping to Cobbler: Carefully remove the baking dish with the peach filling from the oven. Drop the prepared topping mixture over the hot peach filling in large spoonfuls, covering most of the surface.</li>
<li>Prepare & Add Cinnamon Sugar Topping: In a small bowl, stir together the 1/3 cup granulated sugar and 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon for the topping. Sprinkle this cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the top of the cobbler topping.</li>
<li>Final Bake: Return the baking dish to the oven. Bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly around the edges.</li>
<li>Note: This cobbler may bubble over, so it’s a good idea to place the baking dish on a larger baking sheet to catch any drips and keep your oven clean.</li>
<li>Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!</li>
