A warm and comforting peach cobbler featuring fresh peaches and a sweet brown sugar biscuit topping, perfect for cozy evenings or last-minute desserts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 67 medium peaches)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for peach filling)
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (for biscuit topping)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar (for biscuit topping)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 2/3 cup milk (whole milk preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice fresh peaches into 1/2-inch thick slices. Toss in a large bowl with granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon flour. Stir gently and let sit for 10 minutes.
  2. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare an oven-safe baking dish.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups flour, baking powder, salt, and 1/4 cup brown sugar.
  4. Cut in cold, cubed butter using a pastry cutter or fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits.
  5. Add milk and vanilla extract (if using). Stir gently with a fork until just combined; dough will be slightly sticky.
  6. Pour peach mixture into the baking dish, spreading evenly. Dollop spoonfuls of biscuit dough over peaches, covering as much surface as possible but leaving some gaps.
  7. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until biscuit topping is golden brown and peach filling bubbles. Tent with foil if topping browns too quickly during last 10 minutes.
  8. Let cobbler cool for 10 to 15 minutes before serving to thicken and cool slightly.

Notes

Keep butter cold for flaky biscuit topping. Do not overmix biscuit dough to avoid toughness. Lemon juice brightens peach flavor and balances sweetness. Sprinkle raw sugar on top before baking for extra crunch. Adjust flour in filling if peaches are very juicy.
