Print Recipe

A warm and comforting peach cobbler featuring juicy peaches caramelized with brown sugar and topped with tender, flaky buttermilk biscuits. Perfect for cozy occasions and easy to make with simple pantry ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (frozen or canned peaches can be used, adjust sugar accordingly)
  • 1 cup brown sugar (preferably dark brown sugar)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for thickening the filling)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed (for biscuit topping)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (for biscuit topping)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup cold buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 6 cups sliced peaches with 1 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, and 3 tablespoons flour. Toss gently until peaches are evenly coated.
  3. Transfer the peach mixture to a 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading evenly without packing tightly.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  5. Cut in 6 tablespoons cold, cubed unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter bits.
  6. Add 1 cup cold buttermilk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the flour-butter mixture. Stir gently with a rubber spatula just until dough comes together; do not overmix.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough over the peach filling, covering as much surface as possible but leaving small gaps.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until biscuit topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean, with peach juices bubbling around edges.
  9. Let the cobbler cool for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow filling to thicken and topping to set.

Notes

Keep the butter cold when making the biscuit topping to ensure flakiness. Do not overmix the biscuit dough to avoid tough biscuits. If the biscuit topping browns too quickly, tent loosely with foil halfway through baking. Let the cobbler cool before serving to thicken the filling. Frozen peaches can be used directly from the freezer with a couple extra minutes baking time. For gluten-free or dairy-free adaptations, substitute flours and dairy as noted in the recipe.
