Print Recipe

A comforting peach cobbler featuring tender peaches in a brown sugar-spiced filling topped with a flaky, buttery biscuit crust. Perfect for cozy gatherings and easy to make with pantry staples.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 5–6 medium peaches)
  • ½ cup brown sugar, packed (preferably dark brown sugar)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • ½ cup buttermilk, cold (or substitute with yogurt or milk + 1 tsp lemon juice)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease your baking dish lightly with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the sliced peaches, brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), lemon juice, and salt. Toss gently until evenly coated. Let sit while preparing the biscuit topping.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add cold, cubed butter and cut into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or two forks until it resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces.
  4. Mix cold buttermilk and vanilla extract (if using) together, then pour into the flour mixture. Stir gently just until combined; dough should be slightly sticky and shaggy.
  5. Pour the peach filling evenly into the prepared baking dish. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit topping over the peaches, covering as much surface as possible but leaving some gaps for steam.
  6. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling. Tent with foil halfway through if the top browns too quickly.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Keep butter cold for flaky biscuit topping. Do not overmix biscuit dough to avoid toughness. If peaches are not juicy, add a splash more lemon juice or sugar. Start checking cobbler at 30 minutes to avoid overbaking. Can substitute gluten-free flour and dairy-free alternatives for dietary needs.
