Print Recipe

A quick and easy peach cobbler featuring fresh peaches soaked in bourbon, topped with a buttery biscuit crust, and served warm with vanilla bean ice cream. This dessert combines nostalgic comfort with a subtle boozy kick.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large ripe fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons bourbon
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • Vanilla bean ice cream, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, brown sugar, bourbon, and fresh lemon juice. Toss gently to coat and let sit for 10 minutes.
  3. Pour the peach mixture and syrup evenly into a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Add cold butter cubes and cut into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or fork until coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits form.
  6. Pour in milk and stir gently until just combined; do not overmix. Dough will be slightly sticky.
  7. Drop biscuit dough by spoonfuls over the peach filling, leaving some gaps.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes until biscuit topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. If topping browns too quickly, tent with foil halfway through baking.
  9. Let cobbler rest for 10-15 minutes to thicken and cool slightly.
  10. Serve warm topped with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream.

Notes

Keep butter cold to ensure a flaky biscuit topping. Do not overmix the biscuit dough to avoid toughness. Use ripe but firm peaches for best texture. If peaches are extra juicy, place a baking sheet under the dish to catch drips. Let the cobbler rest before serving to thicken the filling. Can substitute bourbon with dark rum or omit for milder flavor. Frozen peaches can be used if thawed and drained.
