1. Preheat the oven
Preheat your oven to 375¡ãF (190¡ãC). Grease a 9¡Á13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
2. Prepare peach filling
In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg and cornstarch. Stir until the peaches are coated evenly, and the cornstarch is dissolved. Pour the peach mixture in the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
3. Make topping
In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Stir in the melted butter and boiling water until the mixture forms smooth batter.
4. Assemble the cobbler
Drop spoonfuls of the batter over the peach filling, spreading it out as evenly as possible. Batter will spread as it bakes. In a small bowl, mix together the remaining tablespoon of granulated sugar and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this cinnamon sugar mixture over the top of the batter.
5. Bake the cobbler
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven, and bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until topping is golden brown, and peach filling is bubbly.
6. Cool, and serve
Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
