Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 to 6 medium fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • ½ cup packed dark brown sugar
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for peach filling)
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (for biscuit topping)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (for biscuit topping)
  • ¾ cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel peaches by scoring an ‘X’ on the bottom and blanching in boiling water for 30 seconds, then transfer to ice water. Slice peaches into ½-inch thick wedges.
  2. In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches, ½ cup packed brown sugar, ¼ cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon flour, 1 teaspoon cornstarch (if using), ½ teaspoon cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Toss gently and let macerate for 10-15 minutes.
  3. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly butter a 9×9-inch baking dish.
  4. Pour peach mixture with juices into the prepared baking dish, spreading evenly.
  5. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt. Cut in cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits.
  6. Add ¾ cup milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (if using) to the flour mixture. Stir gently until dough just comes together; do not overmix.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough evenly over the peach filling, allowing some peaches to peek through.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes until biscuit topping is golden brown and peach juices are bubbling.
  9. Let cobbler cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

If biscuit topping browns too quickly, tent loosely with foil halfway through baking. Use ripe but firm peaches for best texture. Cornstarch helps prevent a runny filling. For gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free blend. For vegan, use plant-based butter and milk substitutes.
