A comforting peach cobbler featuring juicy peaches and a tender, buttery brown sugar biscuit topping that’s quick and easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5–6 medium fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 1.5 pounds or 700 grams)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar (100 grams)
  • ¼ cup brown sugar (50 grams)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (15 ml)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (8 grams)
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (190 grams)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup brown sugar (50 grams)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed (85 grams)
  • ¾ cup buttermilk (180 ml)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peach Filling: In a medium bowl, combine sliced peaches with granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Toss gently until the peaches are well coated. Let sit for 10-15 minutes until syrupy.
  2. Preheat the Oven: Set oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
  3. Make the Biscuit Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and brown sugar. Add cold, cubed butter and cut into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or forks until coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits form.
  4. Add Buttermilk: Pour buttermilk into the flour mixture and stir gently with a rubber spatula just until combined. If too wet, add flour a tablespoon at a time.
  5. Assemble the Cobbler: Pour peach filling into the prepared baking dish. Drop dollops of biscuit dough evenly over the top, allowing some peaches to peek through.
  6. Bake: Bake for 35-40 minutes until the topping is golden brown and peach filling bubbles around edges.
  7. Cool Slightly Before Serving: Let cobbler rest for 10-15 minutes to thicken the juices before serving.

Notes

Keep butter cold to ensure flaky biscuit topping. Do not overmix biscuit dough to avoid tough biscuits. Slice peaches uniformly about ¼ inch thick. If topping browns too quickly, tent with foil. Let cobbler rest after baking to thicken filling. Can prepare peach filling ahead and refrigerate.
