A warm, comforting peach cobbler featuring juicy spiced peaches topped with flaky, buttery drop biscuits. Perfect for summer gatherings and easy to make with simple pantry ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 5 cups)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (for filling)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for biscuit dough)
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice about 6 large peaches into 1/2-inch thick wedges (about 5 cups). To peel easily, blanch peaches in boiling water for 30 seconds, then plunge into ice water to slip off skins.
  2. Toss sliced peaches with 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Set aside to macerate for 10 minutes.
  3. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a 9×13-inch baking dish; no need to grease.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt.
  5. Add 1/2 cup cold, cubed unsalted butter to the flour mixture. Cut in butter using a pastry cutter or fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter bits.
  6. Pour in 3/4 cup whole milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir gently with a fork until just combined; dough will be slightly sticky.
  7. Pour peach mixture with juices into the baking dish, spreading evenly.
  8. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough over the peaches in rough dollops, covering most but not all spots.
  9. Bake for 35-40 minutes until biscuit topping is golden brown and peach filling is bubbly. Tent with foil halfway through if topping browns too fast.
  10. Let cobbler cool for at least 15 minutes before serving to thicken the juices.

Notes

Use ripe but firm peaches for best texture. If topping browns too quickly, tent with foil. Let cobbler rest 15 minutes before serving to thicken filling. For extra crispiness, brush biscuit topping with melted butter before baking. Can substitute frozen peaches if fresh are unavailable. For gluten-free, use gluten-free baking flour and baking powder. Vegan adaptations possible with coconut oil and plant milk.
