Print Recipe

A comforting peach cobbler featuring fresh peaches and a light, cinnamon-kissed biscuit topping that is easy to make and perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (divided)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: pinch of nutmeg

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a bowl, combine 5 cups peeled and sliced fresh peaches, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice. Toss gently to coat and let sit.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and a pinch of nutmeg if using.
  4. Cut in the 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or forks until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk 3/4 cup buttermilk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  6. Pour the buttermilk mixture into the flour and butter mixture and stir gently with a spatula until just combined; dough will be sticky and slightly lumpy.
  7. Transfer the peach mixture to a 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading evenly.
  8. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the peaches, spacing them out but allowing some dough to touch the fruit.
  9. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the biscuit topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling.
  10. Let the cobbler cool for 10-15 minutes before serving warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

Keep the butter cold for flaky biscuits. Don’t overmix the biscuit dough to avoid toughness. Use firm, ripe peaches for best texture. If biscuit topping browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil halfway through baking. Frozen peaches can be used if thawed and drained well.
