### Step-by-Step Instructions
#### 1. Prepare the Peach Filling
1. Preheat your oven to **375°F (190°C)**.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the **peaches**, **sugar**, **cornstarch**, **lemon juice**, **cinnamon**, **nutmeg**, and a pinch of **salt**. Stir gently until the peaches are evenly coated with the mixture.
3. Pour the peach mixture into a greased 9×9-inch or 8×8-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
#### 2. Make the Cobbler Topping

2. Add the **melted butter**, **milk**, and **vanilla extract** to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. The batter will be somewhat thick.
3. Spoon the batter evenly over the peaches, covering them as much as possible. It’s okay if some of the peaches are peeking through.
#### 3. Bake
1. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for **40-45 minutes**, or until the top is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges.
2. Allow the cobbler to cool for at least **15 minutes** before serving.

### Tips for Success
1. **Peach Quality**: Use ripe, sweet peaches for the best flavor. If fresh peaches aren’t in season, frozen peaches work wonderfully too.
2. **Don’t Overmix**: When making the cobbler topping, mix just until the ingredients are combined. Overmixing can lead to a dense topping.
3. **Check for Doneness**: The cobbler is done when the top is golden brown, and the filling is bubbly. If the top isn’t golden enough, let it bake for a few extra minutes.
4. **Make Ahead**: You can prepare the peach filling ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator until you’re ready to bake.
