Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 cups fresh or frozen peaches, sliced
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, cold and cubed
  • 1/3 cup whole milk (or almond/oat milk for dairy-free)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt. Stir gently until peaches are well coated.
  3. Transfer the peach mixture into a 10-inch oven-safe skillet, spreading evenly.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, cardamom, and salt.
  5. Cut cold butter and cream cheese into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits.
  6. Add milk and vanilla extract to the flour mixture and stir just until dough comes together; do not overmix.
  7. Drop large spoonfuls of biscuit dough over the peach filling in the skillet, leaving some peaches exposed.
  8. Bake uncovered for 35 to 40 minutes, or until biscuit topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the dough comes out clean, and peach filling is bubbly.
  9. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use ripe peaches for best flavor; keep butter and cream cheese cold to ensure flaky biscuit topping; do not overmix dough to keep biscuits tender; tent with foil if topping browns too quickly; can substitute gluten-free flour and dairy-free milk for dietary needs.
