Print Recipe

A comforting peach cobbler featuring fresh peaches and a soft, flaky cinnamon biscuit topping that balances tart and sweet flavors perfectly.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6–7 medium ripe peaches, peeled and sliced (about 4 cups)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar for the filling
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar for sprinkling on top
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon for the filling
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon for the biscuit topping
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
  • 3/4 cup cold whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Toss gently to coat evenly and set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
  4. Add cold cubed butter to the flour mixture and cut in with a pastry cutter or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Stir in cold milk and vanilla extract just until dough comes together; do not overmix.
  6. Pour peach mixture into a prepared 9×9-inch baking dish, spreading evenly.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough over the peaches, leaving small gaps for steam to escape.
  8. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons granulated sugar evenly over the biscuit topping.
  9. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the biscuit topping is golden brown and peach filling bubbles around edges. Cover loosely with foil if topping browns too quickly.
  10. Cool for 15-20 minutes before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired.

Notes

If peaches are extra juicy, add up to 3 tablespoons cornstarch to prevent watery filling. Keep butter cold for flaky biscuit topping. Do not overmix biscuit dough to avoid toughness. Cover with foil if topping browns too quickly. Peeling peaches is recommended for best texture; blanching helps peel easily. Can substitute almond or oat milk for dairy-free option. Gluten-free flour blends can be used for gluten-free adaptation.
