A quick and easy fresh peach cobbler featuring a buttery, flaky biscuit topping that perfectly complements juicy, spiced peaches. This cozy dessert is perfect for summer gatherings and busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (150 g)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (50 g)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (190 g)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes (115 g)
  • 3/4 cup whole milk or buttermilk (180 ml), room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Peel and slice about 6 large peaches. Toss them gently in a large bowl with 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice. Let sit for 10 minutes to release juices and meld flavors.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cut in 1/2 cup cold, cubed unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or two forks until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter bits.
  4. Pour in 3/4 cup whole milk or buttermilk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (if using). Stir gently with a spatula just until combined; do not overmix. Dough should be shaggy but hold together when pressed.
  5. Pour the peach mixture with juices into an oven-safe baking dish and spread evenly. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough over the peaches, spacing them to cover most of the surface but leaving gaps for steam to escape.
  6. Bake for 35-40 minutes until biscuit topping is puffed and golden brown and peach juices bubble around edges. Tent loosely with foil halfway through if topping browns too fast.
  7. Let the cobbler cool slightly for about 10 minutes before serving to allow filling to thicken.

Notes

Keep butter cold to ensure flaky biscuit topping. Do not overmix biscuit dough to avoid toughness. Space biscuit dollops to allow steam to escape and juices to bubble. Tent with foil if topping browns too quickly. Let cobbler rest after baking to thicken filling. Frozen peaches can be used if thawed and drained well. For dairy-free or vegan versions, substitute butter with coconut oil and milk with plant-based milk.
