Print Recipe

A comforting peach cobbler featuring fresh peaches and a warm, chewy brown sugar biscuit topping with hints of cinnamon and vanilla. Perfect for summer gatherings or cozy evenings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • ¾ cup whole milk, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish lightly with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the sliced peaches with ½ cup brown sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and ½ teaspoon cinnamon (if using). Stir gently until peaches are evenly coated. Set aside for 10 minutes to macerate.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, remaining ½ cup brown sugar, and ½ teaspoon cinnamon.
  4. Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces.
  5. Stir in the milk and vanilla extract until just combined. The dough should be slightly sticky but hold together when pressed. Add more milk by 1 tablespoon increments if too dry.
  6. Pour the peach mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading evenly.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the peaches, covering as much surface as possible but leaving some gaps for steam to escape.
  8. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and cooked through, and peach juices are bubbling around the edges.
  9. Let the cobbler rest for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow the filling to thicken.

Notes

Keep the butter cold to create a tender, flaky biscuit topping. Do not overmix the dough to avoid tough biscuits. If topping browns too fast, tent with foil halfway through baking. For a glossy finish, brush biscuit topping with melted butter before baking. Use fresh, firm peaches for best texture. Cornstarch is essential to thicken the filling. Can substitute almond or oat flour and milk for gluten- and dairy-free versions.
