A warm and comforting peach cobbler featuring a lightly sweetened brown sugar biscuit topping that crisps up beautifully. Perfect for cozy nights and easy to prepare with simple pantry staples.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 5 medium peaches)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes
  • 1/3 cup whole milk or buttermilk

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice the peaches into about 1/2-inch thick slices. Toss them in a large bowl with granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Stir gently to coat all the slices evenly. Set aside for 10 minutes.
  2. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  3. Pour the peach mixture with all the juices into a greased 9-inch baking dish. Spread it out evenly.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and cut it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits of butter.
  5. Pour in the milk or buttermilk and stir gently with a wooden spoon until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly over the peaches. The dough will spread and bake into a crust.
  7. Bake on the middle rack for 35-40 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly. Tent with foil if topping browns too fast.
  8. Let the cobbler cool for about 15 minutes before serving to allow the filling to thicken.

Notes

Use cold butter for flaky biscuit topping. Avoid overmixing biscuit dough to keep it tender. If topping browns too quickly, tent with foil. Let cobbler cool before serving to thicken filling. Frozen peaches can be used but drain excess liquid and adjust sugar. For gluten-free, substitute flour with gluten-free blend. For dairy-free, use plant-based butter and milk alternatives.
