A comforting summer dessert featuring juicy peaches baked under soft cinnamon biscuits with a rich brown butter flavor. Easy to make and perfect for gatherings or quiet nights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4–5 medium fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 1.5 pounds / 700 grams)
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar (67 grams)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (25 grams)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for peach filling)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (250 grams)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for biscuit topping)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, browned and cooled slightly (85 grams)
  • 3/4 cup whole milk or buttermilk (180 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for biscuit topping)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches with granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Toss gently until evenly coated. Let sit for 10-15 minutes to macerate.
  2. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Pour peach mixture into a 9-inch baking dish, spreading evenly.
  3. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until it foams and turns golden brown with a nutty aroma (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and sugar. Add browned butter and stir with a fork or pastry cutter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Pour in milk or buttermilk and stir gently until just combined. Dough should be soft but not sticky.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough over the peach filling, spacing to cover most of the surface but leaving gaps for steam.
  7. Bake in preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, until biscuits are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Peach filling should be bubbly and thickened.
  8. Let cobbler rest for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow filling to set.

Notes

Use ripe, firm peaches for best texture. For gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with almond or gluten-free flour blend and adjust liquids. For dairy-free, use vegan butter and plant-based milk. Tent with foil if biscuits brown too quickly. Sprinkle coarse sugar on biscuit tops before baking for extra crunch.
