Ingredients

Peach Filling

  • 5-6 cups peeled and sliced fresh peaches (about 6-7 peaches)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch

Biscuit Topping

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/4 cup boiling water

Topping Sprinkle

  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peach Filling: Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C) to get it ready for baking while preparing the filling. In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Stir gently but thoroughly to evenly coat the peaches and help thicken the filling as it bakes.
  2. Transfer Peach Mixture: Pour the mixed peach filling into a 9×13 inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly for uniform cooking and bubbling.
  3. Prepare the Biscuit Topping: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Using a pastry cutter or two forks, cut in the cold, cubed unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. The butter pieces should be small but visible to create a flaky biscuit texture.
  4. Add Boiling Water: Pour in the boiling water and stir just until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix—the dough should be moist but still slightly lumpy.
  5. Assemble the Cobbler: Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit topping evenly over the peach filling. Aim to cover the filling as much as possible without smoothing it out completely, allowing some peach filling to peek through during baking.
  6. Apply Sugar-Cinnamon Sprinkle: In a small bowl, mix the extra granulated sugar with ground cinnamon and sprinkle this evenly over the biscuit topping for a delightful sweet and spicy crust.
  7. Bake the Cobbler: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, until the biscuit topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly and hot around the edges.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool slightly for about 10-15 minutes before serving. This allows the filling to set a bit, making it easier to scoop and enjoy.

Notes

  • For best results, use ripe but firm peaches to avoid a mushy filling.
  • If fresh peaches are not in season, frozen peaches (thawed and drained) can be substituted.
  • Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgent dessert.
  • This cobbler can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated before serving.
  • You can reduce sugar slightly if you prefer a less sweet dessert, especially if your peaches are very ripe.
