Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups peeled and sliced fresh peaches (about 6 large peaches)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (100g)
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar (50g) for peach filling
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (about half a lemon)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (250g)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter (113g), cut into small cubes
  • 3/4 cup whole milk or buttermilk (180ml)
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar (50g) for biscuit topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, toss peeled and sliced peaches with 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice. Mix gently and let sit for about 10 minutes.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  4. Add cold cubed butter to the flour mixture and cut it in using a pastry cutter or fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized butter bits.
  5. Pour in 3/4 cup whole milk or buttermilk and stir just until combined, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Pour the peach mixture with juices into a 9×13 inch baking dish, spreading evenly.
  7. Dollop spoonfuls of biscuit dough over the peaches, covering as much surface as possible but leaving some gaps.
  8. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup brown sugar evenly over the biscuit topping.
  9. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the biscuit topping is golden brown and peach juices are bubbling.
  10. Let the cobbler rest for about 15 minutes before serving to thicken.

Notes

If the biscuit topping browns too quickly, tent loosely with foil halfway through baking. Let peaches sit with sugar before baking to draw out juices. Dollop biscuit dough rather than spreading for texture variation. Prepare peach filling ahead and refrigerate if desired, adding biscuit topping just before baking. For dairy-free, use coconut oil and almond milk. Frozen peaches can be used if thawed and drained, reducing sugar slightly.
