Making the Old School Easy Brown Sugar Peach Cobbler is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or a large cast-iron skillet.
2. Prepare Peaches: If using fresh peaches, wash, peel, and slice them into a bowl. If using frozen peaches, ensure they are thawed and drained.
3. Mix Peaches with Sugar: In a separate bowl, combine the sliced peaches with ½ cup of brown sugar and toss until they are coated. Set aside.
4. Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg.
5. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and the remaining ½ cup of brown sugar until well combined.
6. Combine Dry and Wet Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring until just combined. The batter will be lumpy, which is okay.
7. Layer Ingredients: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Carefully spoon the sweetened peach mixture over the batter, making sure to distribute it evenly.
8. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Cool: Once baked, remove the cobbler from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 10-15 minutes before serving.
10. Serve: Serve warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an added touch of indulgence.

These simple instructions will guide you through creating a remarkable cobbler that captures the true essence of home cooking.
