13 - 170 g unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
14 - 120 ml boiling water

→ For Sprinkling

15 - 38 g granulated sugar

# Instructions:

01 - Heat oven to 200°C if using a dark or glass baking dish, or 220°C for a light-colored pan.
02 - In a large bowl, combine peaches, 60 g granulated sugar, 55 g light brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Toss until peaches are evenly coated.
03 - Pour the peach mixture into a 2-litre baking dish. Bake on the centre rack for 10 minutes.
04 - In a separate large bowl, combine flour, 100 g granulated sugar, 110 g light brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Blend in the chilled butter using fingertips or a pastry blender until the mixture forms coarse crumbs. Gently stir in boiling water until just incorporated.
05 - Remove the baked peaches from the oven. Distribute spoonfuls of the topping over the hot peach filling.
06 - Evenly sprinkle the cobbler with 38 g granulated sugar.
07 - Place the baking dish on a baking sheet to catch any drips. Bake until topping is golden and cooked through, approximately 30 minutes.
08 - Allow to cool slightly. Serve warm, optionally topped with ice cream.

# Notes:

01 - Allow the cobbler to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving to help the filling set.
