A nostalgic southern peach cobbler featuring juicy peaches and a buttery brown sugar biscuit topping that creates a warm, comforting dessert perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 medium fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 3/4 cup cold buttermilk (or dairy-free yogurt as substitute)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Gently toss until peaches are evenly coated. Let sit for 10 minutes.
  3. Transfer the peach mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading evenly to form a glossy, syrupy layer.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and brown sugar.
  5. Cut in the cold, cubed butter using a pastry cutter or two knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter bits.
  6. Pour in the cold buttermilk and stir just until combined; dough should be soft but not sticky.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough over the peach filling, covering as much surface as possible but leaving some gaps.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes until biscuit topping is golden brown and peach filling bubbles at edges. Check at 30 minutes and tent with foil if topping browns too quickly.
  9. Cool the cobbler on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Keep butter cold to ensure flaky biscuit topping. Do not overmix biscuit dough to avoid tough biscuits. Peeling peaches is optional but recommended for better texture. Tent with foil if topping browns too quickly. Use fresh peaches for best flavor; frozen peaches can be used if thawed and drained well. For vegan or gluten-free adaptations, substitute ingredients as noted in the recipe.
