Ingredients
Scale
6–8 fresh peaches (peeled, pitted, and sliced)
1/2 cup granulated sugar (for peaches)
1 tsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar (for topping)
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
3/4 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
Extra sugar for sprinkling (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray. - Prepare the Peaches:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches with 1/2 cup sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir well and let it sit for about 10-15 minutes to allow the juices to release. - Make the Biscuit Topping:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or fork to blend it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. - Add the Milk:
Pour in the milk and vanilla extract, and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—lumps are fine! - Assemble the Cobbler:
Pour the peach mixture into the prepared baking dish. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit topping over the peaches, leaving some space between the dollops. - Bake:
Sprinkle a little extra sugar on top of the biscuit topping (optional). Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling. - Serve:
Let the cobbler cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Top with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgence.
Notes
You can use frozen peaches if fresh ones are unavailable. Just thaw and drain them before using.
