A warm, homey peach cobbler featuring juicy peaches and a soft, caramelized brown sugar biscuit topping that soaks up the sweet syrup, perfect for cozy fall evenings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (or thawed frozen peaches, drained)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust based on peach sweetness)
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar (for filling)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (to thicken peach juices)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (for biscuit topping)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar (for biscuit topping)
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 3/4 cup milk or buttermilk (room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel, pit, and slice peaches to make about 6 cups. If using frozen peaches, thaw and drain excess juice. Place peaches in a large bowl.
  2. Add granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and flour to peaches. Toss gently to coat evenly. Set aside to macerate.
  3. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and brown sugar for the biscuit topping.
  5. Cut in cold butter using a pastry cutter or two knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces.
  6. Pour in milk or buttermilk and vanilla extract if using. Stir gently until just combined; dough should be soft and slightly sticky.
  7. Pour peach filling into prepared baking dish, spreading evenly.
  8. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough over peaches, covering surface but leaving some gaps.
  9. Bake for 35-40 minutes until biscuit topping is golden and cooked through and peach filling bubbles around edges. Cover loosely with foil if topping browns too quickly.
  10. Cool cobbler for at least 15 minutes to thicken syrup before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid mushy filling. Keep butter cold for flaky biscuits. Don’t overmix biscuit dough to keep topping tender. If topping is doughy after baking, bake an additional 5-10 minutes. For gluten-free, substitute flour with 1-to-1 gluten-free blend. For dairy-free, use coconut oil and plant-based milk. Assemble cobbler up to 24 hours ahead and refrigerate. Reheat leftovers in oven at 325°F for 15 minutes; avoid microwaving.
