Description
Perfect Peach Cobbler is a classic summer dessert made with juicy ripe peaches baked under a golden, buttery biscuit topping. Sweet, tender fruit combines with a crisp-yet-soft crust for the ultimate comfort food, especially when served warm with vanilla ice cream. This easy, rustic dessert is ideal for gatherings, potlucks, or family dinners.
Ingredients
4 pounds fresh peaches, sliced 1/2-inch thick
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 cups all-purpose flour (240 g)
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into 1-tablespoon chunks
2/3 cup cold buttermilk, plus extra for brushing
2 tablespoons turbinado sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, toss peaches with sugars, cornstarch, vanilla, salt, and cinnamon. Spread evenly in prepared dish and bake for 10 minutes.
- In a food processor, pulse flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add butter and pulse until coarse crumbs form. Drizzle in buttermilk and pulse until clumps form. (Or make by hand with a pastry cutter.)
- Remove peaches from oven. Scatter topping over peaches, leaving gaps. Brush with buttermilk and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
- Bake for 40 minutes, until topping is golden and filling bubbly.
- Cool 20–30 minutes to let juices thicken. Serve warm with ice cream.
Notes
- No need to peel peaches—skins soften during baking.
- Pre-baking peaches prevents soggy topping.
- Cooling after baking helps filling set.
- Can be adapted with nectarines, plums, or berries.
- Best served fresh, though leftovers reheat well.
