1 tsp fresh lemon juice
2 tsp cornstarch

How to make Southern Peach Cobbler
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 400 degrees F if using a dark or glass pan and 425 degrees F for a light-coloured pan.
Step 2: Evenly mix the peaches with 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup light brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch in a large bowl. Into a 2-quart baking dish, pour the mixture. Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 10 minutes.
Step 3: In the meantime, combine the flour, sugars, baking powder, and salt to make the cobbler topping. Add the butter and mix using your fingertips, or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles a coarse meal. Add the water and stir until just combined.
Step 4: When done, take the peaches out of the oven. Over the peaches, drop spoonfuls of the topping and sprinkle with sugar.
Step 5: On a baking sheet, set the baking dish and return to the oven. Bake for another 30 minutes until golden.
Step 6: To serve, top the cobbler with ice cream if desired. Enjoy!
