Description
Make a traditional, comforting peach cobbler featuring a sweet, tender fruit filling topped with a rich, buttery biscuit crust.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups fresh or frozen peach slices (about 8 medium peaches)
- 1 cup granulated sugar (adjust to peach sweetness)
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (for topping)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for topping)
- 1/2 cup cold milk or buttermilk
- 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, combine the peach slices, 1 cup sugar, 1/4 cup flour, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss gently to coat.
- Pour the peach mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the 1/4 cup water evenly over the peaches. Dot the top of the fruit with the small pieces of cold butter.
- Prepare the topping: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the 1 1/2 cups flour, baking powder, salt, and 1/2 cup sugar for the topping.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the cold milk or buttermilk until just combined to form a soft dough. Do not overmix.
- Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly over the top of the peach filling. Leave small gaps between the dough pieces to allow steam to escape.
- Brush the tops of the biscuit dough lightly with the beaten egg wash.
- Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly around the edges.
- Let the cobbler cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
Notes
- If using frozen peaches, do not thaw them before mixing them into the filling.
- For a richer topping flavor, substitute buttermilk for regular milk.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream.
