A quick and easy peach cobbler featuring fresh peaches and a fluffy biscuit topping, perfect for summer gatherings and simple enough for last-minute dessert cravings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (for filling)
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (for biscuit topping)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes
  • 3/4 cup milk (whole or 2%)
  • Optional: 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly butter your 9×9-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Peel and slice the peaches into roughly 1/2-inch thick slices. Place them in a large bowl.
  3. Add granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and optional nutmeg to the peaches. Toss gently to coat evenly.
  4. Pour the peach mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  5. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add cold, cubed butter and cut it into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or fingertips until it resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits.
  6. Pour the milk into the flour mixture and stir gently with a wooden spoon just until combined. The dough should be soft but not overly sticky.
  7. Spoon dollops of the biscuit dough over the peach filling, leaving small gaps for the dough to spread as it bakes.
  8. Place the dish on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes until the biscuit topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly.
  9. Let the cobbler cool for about 15 minutes before serving to allow the juices to thicken and the topping to set.

Notes

Keep the butter cold for a flaky biscuit topping; chill butter cubes before cutting into flour. Do not overmix the biscuit dough once milk is added. If biscuit browns too fast, tent with foil halfway through baking. Peeling peaches by blanching in boiling water for 30 seconds then plunging into ice water helps remove skins easily. Let cobbler rest before serving to thicken filling. Optional: brush biscuit topping with melted butter before baking for extra richness and color. For stronger peach flavor, add a splash of peach liqueur or brandy to filling.
