Description
This homemade peach cobbler features juicy peaches baked under a golden, buttery biscuit topping. It’s warm, nostalgic, and perfect with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Ingredients
For the Peach Filling:
- 6–8 fresh peaches (about 4 cups), peeled and sliced
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp cinnamon (optional)
For the Topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 1½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- ¼ cup milk
- Cinnamon-sugar mix (for sprinkling on top)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches with sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, cinnamon (if using), and vanilla. Mix until well coated. Pour into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Make the topping: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture forms coarse crumbs. Stir in milk just until combined—do not overmix.
- Assemble: Drop spoonfuls of the dough over the peaches. It’s okay if some of the peaches are visible.
- Sprinkle cinnamon sugar evenly on top for extra texture and flavor.
- Bake for 40–45 minutes or until the topping is golden and the filling is bubbly.
- Cool slightly before serving. Best enjoyed warm with vanilla ice cream.
Notes
If using canned or frozen peaches, reduce added sugar slightly. You can also swap the cinnamon sugar topping for turbinado sugar for a crunchier finish.
