Description

A simple, 5-ingredient brown sugar peach cobbler featuring juicy, spiced peaches topped with a thick, golden, buttery biscuit crust. It’s a reliable, kid-approved summer dessert that feels homemade without the fuss.

Ingredients

Scale

6–7 medium fresh peaches (about 3 lbs / 1.4 kg), peeled and sliced
½ cup granulated sugar (100g)
1 tablespoon lemon juice (15ml)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (2g)
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (190g)
2 teaspoons baking powder (8g)
½ teaspoon salt (3g)
½ cup unsalted butter (113g), cold and cubed
¼ cup whole milk (60ml)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel and slice peaches into ½-inch wedges. Toss with sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon in a large bowl. Let sit for 15 minutes to macerate.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
Cut cold, cubed butter into the flour mixture using a pastry blender or fork until it resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter chunks.
Pour in milk and stir gently with a spatula until the dough just comes together; do not over-mix.
Pour the macerated peaches and their juices into a 9×9 inch baking dish.
Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly over the peaches.
Bake for 35-40 minutes until the topping is deep golden brown and juices are bubbling thickly. Cover with foil if browning too fast.
Cool for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow juices to thicken.

Notes

Keep butter cold for a flaky topping. Do not thaw frozen peaches before using. Let peaches macerate to create a syrupy base. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to crisp the topping.
