Description
A cozy and indulgent peach cobbler featuring juicy peaches and a fluffy, buttery brown sugar biscuit topping that caramelizes beautifully. Perfect for warm, comforting dessert nights.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups sliced fresh peaches (about 900g)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar (150g)
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar (150g)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (250g), divided
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 8 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed (115g)
- 1 cup milk or buttermilk (240ml)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
- Peel and slice peaches, leaving skins on or peeling for smoother texture. Toss peaches with granulated sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Let sit to release juices.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups (190g) flour, baking powder, brown sugar, and salt. Cut in cold cubed butter using a pastry cutter or fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits.
- Pour in milk or buttermilk and stir gently until just combined; dough should be slightly sticky. Do not overmix.
- Transfer peach filling to a 9×13-inch baking dish and spread evenly. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup (65g) flour over peaches to absorb excess juice.
- Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough over peach mixture, covering as much as possible but gaps are fine.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake cobbler on middle rack for 40 to 45 minutes until biscuit topping is golden brown and peach filling is bubbly.
- Let cobbler cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. Optionally top with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
Keep butter cold for flaky biscuit topping. Let peach filling sit to release juices before assembling. Start checking cobbler at 35 minutes to avoid burning topping. For gluten-free, use 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil and use plant-based milk.
