This cozy peach cobbler features a jammy peach filling topped with tender, flaky buttermilk biscuits. It’s a simple, comforting dessert that comes together in about 45 minutes and is perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups fresh or frozen peaches, sliced (about 6–7 medium peaches)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 3/4 cup cold buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar (optional, for sprinkling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place your 9×13-inch baking dish on a rimmed baking sheet to catch any overflow.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Stir gently until the peaches are evenly coated. Let this mixture sit for about 10 minutes while you prepare the biscuit topping.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter. Using a pastry cutter or two forks, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal with some pea-sized butter pieces remaining.
  4. Make a well in the center and pour in the cold buttermilk. Stir with a fork until just combined. The dough will be shaggy and a little sticky.
  5. Pour the peach filling into the prepared baking dish, spreading it into an even layer. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the top, spacing them about an inch apart. Sprinkle the tops with turbinado sugar if using.
  6. Place the baking dish on the middle rack of your preheated oven. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the peach filling is bubbly and the biscuit tops are golden brown. If the biscuits are browning too quickly, tent the dish loosely with foil for the last 10 minutes.
  7. Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes. Serve warm, preferably with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of heavy cream.

Notes

Keep the butter cold for flaky biscuits. Don’t overmix the biscuit dough. Let the cobbler rest for 15 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set. Taste your peaches first and adjust sugar accordingly.
