A quick and easy peach cobbler featuring juicy fresh peaches and a crispy brown sugar biscuit topping that caramelizes beautifully for a perfect summer dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 medium fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup (65g) packed brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour, divided (1 cup for biscuit topping, 1/2 cup for peach thickener)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons (85g) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) milk (whole milk preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Peel and slice peaches into 1/2-inch thick slices. Toss peaches with granulated sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup flour. Set aside to macerate for 10 minutes.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Cut cold butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter, two knives, or fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces.
  5. Add milk and gently stir just until combined; dough will be sticky with some lumps.
  6. Transfer peach mixture into a 9×9-inch baking dish, spreading evenly.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough over the peaches, spacing them slightly.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes until biscuit topping is golden brown and peach filling is bubbling. Tent with foil after 25 minutes if topping browns too fast.
  9. Let cobbler cool for 10-15 minutes before serving to thicken.

Notes

Use cold butter to create flaky biscuit topping. Do not overmix biscuit dough to keep it tender. If peach juices are too runny, add a bit more flour or cornstarch next time. Biscuit topping crisps up as it cools. Frozen peaches can be used if thawed and drained. Tent with foil if topping browns too quickly.
