A warm, comforting peach cobbler featuring a rich brown sugar peach filling topped with flaky, buttery drop biscuits. Perfect for cozy nights and easy to make with pantry staples.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cans (15 oz each) sliced peaches in juice, drained (or 4 cups fresh sliced peaches)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk (or whole milk with 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice, let sit 5 minutes)
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the drained peaches, brown sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir gently until evenly coated and slightly thickened.
  3. Pour the peach mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and brown sugar.
  5. Add the cold, cubed butter and cut it into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or two forks until it resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits of butter visible.
  6. Pour the buttermilk into the flour mixture and stir just until combined; do not overmix.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the peach filling, spacing them unevenly to allow peaches to bubble through.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Tent with foil if topping browns too quickly.
  9. Let the cobbler cool for about 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Keep butter cold for flaky biscuits. Do not overmix biscuit dough to keep it tender. If biscuit dough is too dry, add a splash more buttermilk cautiously. Let cobbler rest after baking to thicken filling. Tent with foil if topping browns too fast. Can substitute almond flour for gluten-free and vegan butter and plant-based milk for vegan version.
