Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 6 medium peaches)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed (preferably dark brown sugar)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk (or whole milk with 1 tablespoon lemon juice, let sit 5 minutes)
  • Turbinado sugar or coarse sugar for sprinkling on top (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches, brown sugar, granulated sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), cornstarch, and a pinch of salt. Toss gently until peaches are evenly coated. Set aside to macerate.
  2. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and position rack in the middle.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. Add cold cubed butter and cut into flour mixture using a pastry cutter or two forks until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces.
  5. Pour in buttermilk and gently stir with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour peach filling into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading evenly.
  7. Dollop spoonfuls of biscuit dough over the peaches, leaving gaps for bubbling.
  8. Optionally sprinkle turbinado or coarse sugar over the biscuit topping.
  9. Bake for 35-40 minutes until biscuit topping is golden brown and peach filling is bubbly and thickened.
  10. Let cobbler cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Notes

For juicier peaches, add an extra tablespoon of cornstarch to prevent runny filling. To crisp the biscuit topping more, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end, watching carefully to avoid burning. Peeling peaches by blanching in boiling water for 30-60 seconds then shocking in ice water helps keep fruit silky and intact. Keep butter cold for flaky biscuit topping and avoid overmixing dough to prevent toughness.
