Description
A delightful and easy-to-make fresh peach cobbler that combines sweet peaches with a fluffy biscuit topping.
Ingredients
Scale
- 5–6 medium fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (1 cup for filling thickening, 1 cup plus a bit more for biscuit dough)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 3/4 cup milk (whole or 2%, or almond milk for dairy-free)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Prep the Peaches (10 minutes): Peel peaches by blanching in boiling water for 30 seconds, then plunge into ice water. Slice into 1/2-inch thick wedges. Toss with granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon flour, cinnamon (if using), and vanilla extract. Let sit.
- Make the Biscuit Topping (15 minutes): In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup flour, baking powder, brown sugar, and salt. Cut in cold cubed butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in milk gently until just combined; batter should be sticky but scoopable.
- Assemble the Cobbler (5 minutes): Preheat oven to 375°F. Pour peach mixture into greased 9×9-inch baking dish. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit batter over peaches, leaving some gaps.
- Bake (30-35 minutes): Bake on middle rack until biscuit topping is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean. Peaches should be bubbling. Tent with foil if topping browns too fast after 20 minutes.
- Cool Slightly Before Serving (10 minutes): Let cobbler rest to thicken juices. Serve warm, ideally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- You can substitute fresh peaches with canned peaches if they are not in season.
- For added flavor, consider incorporating nutmeg or using almond extract instead of vanilla.
- Serves well with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top.
