Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (150 grams)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (50 grams)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (250 grams)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed (226 grams)
  • 1 cup whole milk (240 ml)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of nutmeg (optional)
  • Coarse sugar for sprinkling on top (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch deep-dish baking pan with butter or nonstick spray.
  2. Peel and slice about 6 large peaches into 1/2-inch thick slices. Toss them gently in a medium bowl with 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of nutmeg if using. Let sit for 10 minutes.
  3. In a separate large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  4. Cut in 1 cup cold, cubed unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter chunks.
  5. Pour in 1 cup whole milk and stir gently just until combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour the peach mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading evenly.
  7. Dollop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the peaches, covering as much surface as possible but leaving some gaps for steam to escape.
  8. Sprinkle coarse sugar on top for a light crunch if desired.
  9. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the biscuit topping comes out clean. The peach juices should be bubbling.
  10. Let the cobbler cool slightly for 15 minutes before serving to allow the juices to thicken.
  11. Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

Keep butter cold to create flaky biscuit topping. Do not overmix biscuit dough to avoid toughness. Use ripe but firm peaches for best texture. If biscuit topping browns too fast, cover loosely with foil halfway through baking. Lemon juice brightens peach flavor and prevents dullness. Frozen peaches can be used if thawed and drained well.
