Print Recipe

A simple and delicious summer dessert featuring juicy fresh peaches topped with a tender, caramel-rich brown sugar biscuit crust. Perfect for backyard dinners, potlucks, or casual treats.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar (light or dark)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 3/4 cup milk or buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch or arrowroot

Instructions

  1. Peel, pit, and slice about 6 large ripe peaches. Toss them gently in a bowl with 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 3/4 cup brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons cornstarch to coat. Set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 3/4 cup brown sugar.
  3. Add 1/2 cup cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Cut the butter into the dry mix using a pastry cutter or two knives until it resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized bits of butter left.
  4. Pour in 3/4 cup milk or buttermilk along with 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Spread the peach filling evenly in a 9×13-inch baking dish. Dollop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the peaches, leaving gaps for the filling to bubble through.
  6. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 45 to 50 minutes until the biscuit crust is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly. Tent with foil if crust browns too fast.
  7. Let the cobbler cool slightly for about 10 minutes before serving warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired.

Notes

Keep the butter cold to ensure a tender, flaky biscuit crust. Avoid overmixing the dough to prevent toughness. If crust browns too fast, tent with foil during the last 10-15 minutes of baking. Peeling peaches helps create a silky filling. Frozen peaches can be used if thawed and drained well. For dairy-free or gluten-free versions, substitute ingredients as noted.
