A warm, comforting peach cobbler featuring juicy cinnamon-spiced peaches topped with fluffy, tender buttermilk biscuits. Perfect for quick weeknight desserts or cozy gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5–6 large fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 4 cups)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 cup buttermilk, cold
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (optional)
  • Optional toppings: vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, chopped toasted pecans or almonds

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease your baking dish lightly with butter or nonstick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the sliced peaches with granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, lemon juice, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt until well coated.
  3. Transfer the peach mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
  5. Add cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients and cut in with a pastry cutter or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter pieces.
  6. Pour in cold buttermilk and stir gently with a wooden spoon just until dough comes together; do not overmix.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough over the peach filling, covering as much surface as possible.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes until biscuit topping is golden brown and peach juices are bubbling. Tent with foil if topping browns too fast.
  9. Let cobbler cool for about 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Keep butter cold and cut quickly into flour for a tender, flaky biscuit topping. Use lemon juice in peach filling to brighten flavors. Tent with foil if topping browns too fast. Do not stir cobbler while baking to allow biscuit topping to rise properly. Frozen peaches can be used if fresh are unavailable; thaw and drain excess liquid first. Gluten-free and vegan adaptations are possible with ingredient substitutions.
