Print Recipe

An easy peach cobbler featuring juicy spiced peaches topped with light, fluffy buttermilk biscuits. Perfect for a quick, comforting dessert that highlights seasonal peaches.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for peaches)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of ground nutmeg
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1 cup cold buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for biscuit dough, optional adjustment)

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice 6 large ripe peaches into 1/2-inch thick slices. Toss gently with 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and a pinch of nutmeg. Let sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to macerate.
  2. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  4. Add 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter pieces to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or fork to cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits.
  5. Stir in 1 cup cold buttermilk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract just until dough comes together. Do not overmix; dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
  6. Pour the peach mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough over the peaches in a rustic manner.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes until the biscuit topping is golden brown and cooked through and the peaches are bubbly and fragrant.
  8. Let the cobbler rest for 10 minutes before serving to allow juices to thicken. Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

If biscuit topping browns too fast, tent with foil halfway through baking. Avoid overmixing biscuit dough to keep butter pockets intact for fluffiness. Blanch peaches in boiling water for 30 seconds then ice water to peel easily. Let peach mixture sit with sugar and spices before baking for best flavor but not too long to avoid mushiness. Variations include gluten-free flour, dairy-free substitutes, and adding nuts or spices.
