Easy Peach Cobbler

Total Time: 1 hour
Serves 8
This easy peach cobbler recipe features a buttery biscuit topping and tons of fresh, juicy peaches. Serve with vanilla ice cream for the perfect summer dessert!

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds fresh peaches, pitted and sliced (about 8 medium-large)
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg
  • Vanilla ice cream, for serving

For the Topping

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9x13-inch or similar baking dish.
  • In a large bowl, toss the peaches with the brown sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Spread evenly at the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  • Make the topping: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the butter and toss to coat. Use your hands or a pastry cutter to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles a coarse meal.
  • Add the milk and mix with a spatula until a shaggy dough forms. Add more as needed, 1 tablespoon at a time, to moisten any remaining dry flour and bring the mixture together into a soft, cohesive dough. I typically use 2 more tablespoons. Add just enough to bring the dough together, kneading with your hands if necessary.
  • Tear the dough into golfball-sized pieces and use your hands to flatten them until they're about ⅓-inch thick. Lay them over the peaches in the baking dish. The topping won’t cover all the peaches, so space the biscuits evenly over them, leaving some gaps in between.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the 1 tablespoon sugar and the cinnamon. Brush the tops of the biscuits with milk and sprinkle the cinnamon sugar over the cobbler.
  • Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the peaches are bubbling and the biscuits are golden brown on top. A toothpick inserted into the biscuits should come out clean.
  • Let cool for 10 minutes before serving with vanilla ice cream.
