Creating Old School Easy Brown Sugar Peach Cobbler is straightforward if you follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the Peaches: If you’re using fresh peaches, peel and slice them. If using canned peaches, drain well.
3. Mix the Peaches: In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches, ½ cup brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Set aside.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well blended.
5. Add Milk: Pour in the milk and melted butter. Stir until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the cobbler light.
6. Assemble: Pour the batter into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Spoon the peach mixture over the batter, making sure to distribute the fruit evenly.
7. Sprinkle Brown Sugar: Top the peaches with the remaining ½ cup of brown sugar for added sweetness and crunch.
8. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes until golden brown.
9. Cool Slightly: Once baked, remove the cobbler and let it cool for about 10-15 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld beautifully.

These clear and easy steps will guide you through creating a delicious cobbler that will surely impress!
