A warm, sweet peach cobbler featuring juicy fresh peaches and a tender brown sugar biscuit topping, perfect for cozy afternoons or gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large ripe peaches, peeled and sliced (about 3 pounds / 1.4 kg)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (100 g)
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar (50 g)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (190 g)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces (85 g)
  • 3/4 cup milk (whole or 2%) (180 ml)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss the sliced peaches with granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Stir gently to coat evenly and let sit for 10 minutes to macerate.
  3. Pour the peach mixture, including juices, into a greased 8×8-inch baking dish and spread evenly.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of brown sugar.
  5. Cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized bits.
  6. Stir in milk and vanilla extract just until combined. The dough should be soft but not wet or sticky. Add more milk by 1 tablespoon increments if too dry.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough over the peach filling, leaving gaps as the topping will spread while baking.
  8. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and cooked through, and the peach juices are bubbly around the edges.
  9. Let the cobbler rest for 10 minutes before serving to allow the juices to thicken.

Notes

For a crunchier topping, sprinkle extra brown sugar over the biscuit dough before baking. If the topping browns too quickly, tent with foil halfway through baking. Use cold butter and avoid overmixing the biscuit dough for tender, flaky topping. Peeling peaches improves texture but is optional. Frozen peaches can be used if thawed and drained. Gluten-free and vegan adaptations are possible.
