A warm and comforting peach cobbler with a tender, buttery crust and juicy, spiced peach filling. Perfect for any occasion and easy to make with simple pantry ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 67 medium peaches; frozen peaches can be used)
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar (adjust based on peach sweetness)
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch (can substitute with arrowroot powder)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes
  • ⅓ cup whole milk (or buttermilk; dairy-free milk can be used)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a 9×9-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, gently toss the sliced peaches with ¾ cup sugar, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Set aside for 10 minutes to macerate.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup flour, ¼ cup sugar, ½ teaspoon baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Add cold butter cubes and cut into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or two forks until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized bits.
  4. Pour in ⅓ cup whole milk and stir gently until just combined. Chill dough for 5-10 minutes if too soft to handle.
  5. Pour the peach filling into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Drop spoonfuls of the crust dough over the peaches, spacing them out slightly.
  6. Bake for 35-40 minutes until crust is golden brown and peaches are bubbly. Tent with foil if crust browns too quickly.
  7. Cool slightly for 10-15 minutes before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired.

Notes

Keep butter cold for flaky crust. Do not overmix dough to avoid toughness. Peel peaches for smoother texture. Adjust sugar based on peach sweetness. Check baking at 30 minutes if oven runs hot. Dough can be chilled if too soft. Variations include gluten-free flour, vegan butter and milk substitutes, and adding spices like nutmeg or ginger.
