Print Recipe

A warm and comforting peach cobbler featuring caramelized brown sugar peaches topped with fluffy buttermilk biscuits, perfect for fall or summer desserts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 4–5 medium peaches) or frozen peach slices, thawed
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed (preferably dark brown sugar)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk (or 3/4 cup milk + 1 teaspoon lemon juice or vinegar as substitute)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, toss sliced peaches with brown sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, cinnamon, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Stir gently to coat evenly. Set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Add cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Cut in butter using a pastry cutter or fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits.
  5. Pour in buttermilk and stir just until combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour peach mixture into prepared baking dish, spreading evenly.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough over peaches, spacing to cover surface but leaving gaps for bubbling.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes until topping is golden brown and peach filling bubbles. Tent with foil if topping browns too quickly.
  9. Let cobbler rest for 10 minutes before serving to thicken filling.

Notes

Keep butter cold for flaky biscuit topping. If topping browns too fast, tent with foil. Use firm peaches to avoid mushy filling. For gluten-free, substitute flour with gluten-free blend. Vegan version can use coconut oil and almond milk with lemon juice. Brush biscuit topping with melted butter for crispier crust. Leftovers keep 3-4 days refrigerated and can be frozen up to 2 months.
