Make a classic Southern Peach Cobbler using fresh peaches and a simple, buttery biscuit topping. This recipe delivers comforting, warm fruit dessert flavor without complicated steps.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups fresh peaches, sliced
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (for topping)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for topping)
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 1/2 cup milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, 1 cup sugar, 1/4 cup flour, lemon juice, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss gently to coat the peaches.
  3. Pour the peach mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the 1/4 cup water evenly over the fruit.
  4. Prepare the topping: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the 1 cup flour, baking powder, salt, and 1/4 cup sugar for the topping.
  5. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Stir in the milk until just combined to form a soft dough. Do not overmix.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of the dough evenly over the peach filling. The topping does not need to cover the entire surface.
  8. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly.
  9. Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving warm.

Notes

  • Serve this old fashioned fruit dessert warm with vanilla ice cream for the best experience.
  • If fresh peaches are unavailable, you can substitute with 2 (15-ounce) cans of sliced peaches, drained, for a quick dessert cobbler.
  • For a richer topping flavor, substitute half the milk with heavy cream.
