Creating the Old School Easy Brown Sugar Peach Cobbler is straightforward and fun. Follow these steps for a delicious result:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Prepare the Peaches: If using fresh peaches, peel and slice them. If using canned peaches, drain the syrup.

3. Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches and half of the brown sugar. Toss until evenly coated, and set aside.

4. Prepare the Batter: In another large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

5. Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the flour mixture. Stir until fully combined.

6. Layer the Ingredients: Pour the batter into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Evenly distribute the peach mixture over the batter. Do not stir; the peaches will sink as it cooks.

7. Sprinkle Brown Sugar: Sprinkle the remaining brown sugar evenly over the top of the peaches.

8. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes until the cobbler is golden brown and bubbly.

9. Cool: Remove from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. This helps the juices to set up a bit.
