Print Recipe

A quick and easy peach cobbler featuring juicy fresh peaches topped with a caramelized brown sugar drop biscuit topping that’s crisp on the edges and fluffy inside.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large ripe fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (100g)
  • 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar (65g)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (125g)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter (70g), cold and cut into small pieces
  • 1/3 cup buttermilk (80ml)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Peel and slice peaches into 1/2-inch thick slices. Toss peaches with granulated sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until evenly coated. Let sit while preparing topping.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and brown sugar.
  3. Add cold butter pieces to flour mixture. Cut in butter using a pastry cutter or fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized butter bits.
  4. Pour in buttermilk and stir gently with a fork just until combined to form sticky dough. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Pour peach mixture with juices into a 9×9-inch baking dish, spreading evenly. Drop biscuit dough by spoonfuls over peaches, allowing some peaches to peek through.
  6. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until biscuit topping is golden brown and cooked through and peach juices are bubbly and thickened.
  7. Let cobbler cool for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow juices to thicken and topping to set. Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

Keep butter cold for flaky biscuits. If topping browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil halfway through baking. Peeling peaches is optional but recommended for smoother texture. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil and buttermilk with almond or oat milk mixed with lemon juice. Add up to 2 tablespoons more sugar if peaches are tart.
