Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 6–7 medium peaches, or use frozen)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
  • 2/3 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place a 9×13-inch baking dish on a foil-lined baking sheet.
  2. Prepare the peaches: If using fresh, blanch in boiling water for 30 seconds, then transfer to an ice bath. Peel and slice into 1/2-inch thick wedges. If using frozen, slice while still frozen.
  3. Make the filling: In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches, 1/2 cup brown sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cornstarch, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stir gently and let sit for 5 minutes.
  4. Make the biscuit topping: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, 1/3 cup brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Cut in cold butter cubes until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized butter pieces. Add buttermilk and stir just until combined (dough will be shaggy).
  5. Prepare the butter sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter and 1/4 cup brown sugar until smooth.
  6. Assemble the cobbler: Pour the butter sauce into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Spoon the peach filling over the sauce. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough over the peaches (do not spread).
  7. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until biscuit topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into a biscuit comes out clean. If browning too quickly, tent with foil for the last 10 minutes.
  8. Cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Don’t overmix the biscuit dough. Keep butter cold for flaky biscuits. Let cobbler rest 15 minutes before serving to allow filling to thicken. Use a baking sheet under the dish to catch drips.
