Creating the Old School Easy Brown Sugar Peach Cobbler is a breeze if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the Peaches: Wash, peel, and slice the peaches into thin wedges. If using frozen peaches, thaw them first.
3. Mix the Filling: In a bowl, combine the sliced peaches with half a cup of brown sugar. Toss until the peaches are well-coated and let them sit for about 10 minutes.
4. Prepare the Batter: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining brown sugar, baking powder, salt, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well blended.
5. Combine Ingredients: Pour the batter into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
6. Add the Peaches: Evenly distribute the peach mixture over the top of the batter. Do not stir; the peaches will sink during baking.
7. Add Cinnamon (Optional): If you’re a fan of cinnamon, sprinkle it over the peach layer for added flavor.
8. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the batter comes out clean.
9. Cool Slightly: Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Prepare yourself for a delicious aroma, and keep an eye on the cobbler as it bakes!
