A comforting summer dessert featuring juicy peaches baked under a flaky, brown butter buttermilk biscuit topping. Quick and easy to make, perfect for showcasing fresh peaches.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 5–6 medium peaches)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar (adjust based on peach sweetness)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, browned and cooled slightly
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup buttermilk, cold
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peach Filling: In a large bowl, toss sliced peaches with granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Set aside to macerate.
  2. Bake the Peach Filling Base: Pour the peach mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Spread evenly and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15 minutes.
  3. Brown the Butter: Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently until golden brown and nutty aroma appears (4-5 minutes). Remove from heat and cool slightly.
  4. Mix the Biscuit Dough: In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Pour in browned butter and cold buttermilk. Stir gently until just combined; dough will be sticky.
  5. Top the Cobbler: Remove peach base from oven. Drop biscuit dough by spoonfuls evenly over peaches.
  6. Bake the Cobbler: Return to oven and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes until biscuits are golden and cooked through.
  7. Cool and Serve: Let cobbler cool on a rack for at least 15 minutes before serving. Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

If biscuits brown too fast, tent loosely with foil halfway through baking. Add extra cornstarch if peaches are very juicy. Use vegan butter and almond milk with lemon juice for dairy-free version. Substitute gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free version. For crunch, sprinkle raw sugar on biscuit topping before baking.
