This Peach Cobbler recipe features spiced, juicy peaches with a sweet biscuit topping. Peaches are the star, with the topping placed gently on top rather than covering them completely. This allows the thickened peach juices to mingle with the topping. For a traditional, fully-covered cobbler, double the topping recipe below. While we prefer the texture of peeled peaches, you can save time by leaving the skins on – the flavor will still be wonderful.
You Will Need
Peach Filling
5 peaches, peeled and sliced or, use thawed frozen sliced peaches (about 5 cups)
1 cup fresh or frozen berries, optional
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup (65g) sugar, or more depending on sweetness of peaches
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
Biscuit Top
3/4 cups (100g) all purpose flour
3 tablespoons sugar, divided
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold, cut into small cubes
1/3 cup (80ml) whole milk
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Directions
Heat oven to 350°F (176°C). Lightly butter or oil a 9-inch square baking dish (2-quart dish).
Make the cobbler filling. Toss sliced peaches with berries (optional), lemon juice, sugar, 2 tablespoons of flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Pour into baking dish. Bake for 10 minutes.
Make the topping. Whisk the flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, baking powder, and salt together. Using a pastry blender or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour until crumbly.
Pour in the milk and stir with a fork until a soft dough forms.
Drop tablespoon-sized dollops of biscuit dough over the pre-baked peaches, leaving some space between each blob. As the cobbler bakes, the topping will spread out a little.
Combine the remaining tablespoon of sugar and cinnamon for topping. Sprinkle over the top of your cobbler.
Bake the peach cobbler for 40 to 50 minutes or until the juices are bubbling and the topping is golden brown. Cool for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
Adam and Joanne's Tips
- How to Peel Peaches: To peel fresh peaches, score an “X” into the bottom of each peach with a knife. Add to boiling water for 45 to 60 seconds then plunge into ice cold water. Peel skins from peaches.
