Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (or frozen, thawed)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk (or regular milk with 1 teaspoon lemon juice)
  • 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  2. In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches, 1/2 cup sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir gently and let sit for 10 minutes to release juices.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Cut in cold butter using a pastry cutter or fingertips until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter pieces.
  5. Pour in buttermilk and stir just until combined. Do not overmix; lumps are fine.
  6. Pour peach mixture into a 9×9-inch baking dish or 9-inch cast iron skillet.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit topping evenly over the peaches (8 to 10 dollops).
  8. Sprinkle turbinado sugar over the topping.
  9. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until filling is bubbling around edges and topping is golden brown.
  10. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

For a gluten-free version, use a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend. For dairy-free, substitute cold coconut oil for butter and use almond milk with a splash of vinegar instead of buttermilk. You can reduce sugar to 1/3 cup if peaches are very sweet. The cobbler can be assembled the night before and baked fresh in the morning.
