Print Recipe

A quick and easy summer dessert featuring fresh peaches topped with a sweet brown sugar biscuit topping that caramelizes beautifully for a comforting treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5–6 medium fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (1 cup for filling thickening, 1 cup plus a bit more for biscuit dough)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 3/4 cup milk (whole or 2%, or almond milk for dairy-free)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep the Peaches (10 minutes): Peel peaches by blanching in boiling water for 30 seconds, then plunge into ice water. Slice into 1/2-inch thick wedges. Toss with granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon flour, cinnamon (if using), and vanilla extract. Let sit.
  2. Make the Biscuit Topping (15 minutes): In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup flour, baking powder, brown sugar, and salt. Cut in cold cubed butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in milk gently until just combined; batter should be sticky but scoopable.
  3. Assemble the Cobbler (5 minutes): Preheat oven to 375°F. Pour peach mixture into greased 9×9-inch baking dish. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit batter over peaches, leaving some gaps.
  4. Bake (30-35 minutes): Bake on middle rack until biscuit topping is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean. Peaches should be bubbling. Tent with foil if topping browns too fast after 20 minutes.
  5. Cool Slightly Before Serving (10 minutes): Let cobbler rest to thicken juices. Serve warm, ideally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

Use cold butter for flaky biscuits. Don’t overmix biscuit dough to avoid toughness. Adjust sugar based on peach sweetness. Tent with foil if topping browns too quickly. For less juicy peaches, add 1 tbsp lemon juice. Gluten-free and dairy-free substitutions available.
