A quick and easy peach cobbler featuring juicy peaches and a fluffy biscuit topping, perfect for summer gatherings and simple desserts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 6 large peaches)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust based on peach sweetness)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and diced
  • 3/4 cup whole milk or buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons sugar

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice fresh peaches into about 1/2-inch thick slices. Toss them in a mixing bowl with 3/4 cup sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Stir gently to coat all the peaches evenly. Let this sit while you prepare the biscuit topping.
  2. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Position the rack in the middle.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and 2 tablespoons sugar. Add the cold, diced butter. Using a pastry cutter or two forks, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits of butter.
  4. Pour in 3/4 cup whole milk or buttermilk and stir gently with a spatula just until the dough comes together. Do not overmix; the dough will be slightly sticky but hold together.
  5. Pour the peach filling and juices into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Spread evenly. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the peaches in a scattered pattern.
  6. Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes until the biscuit topping is golden brown and cooked through and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges.
  7. Let the cobbler cool for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the juices to thicken and the topping to set.

Notes

If biscuit topping browns too quickly, tent loosely with foil halfway through baking. For extra juicy peaches, add up to 1 tablespoon cornstarch to prevent runny filling. Keep butter cold and do not overmix dough for fluffy biscuits. Let cobbler cool before serving to thicken juices.
