This Old Fashioned Peach Cobbler features ripe peaches sweetened with honey and brown sugar, topped with tender drop biscuits. It is a lighter take on the classic comfort dessert that tastes just like grandma made.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups fresh or frozen sliced peaches (thawed if frozen)
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon fresh 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 salt
  • 1/4 cup cold butter, cubed
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk (or regular milk with 1 teaspoon vinegar)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  2. In a large bowl, toss sliced peaches with honey, brown sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Let sit for 5 minutes.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in cold butter using a pastry cutter or fingertips until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter pieces.
  4. Pour buttermilk into flour mixture and stir just until combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour peach mixture into a 9-inch baking dish or cast iron skillet. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough over the top, leaving gaps for filling to bubble through.
  6. Bake for 35-40 minutes until topping is golden brown and filling is thick and bubbly around edges.
  7. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving to allow juices to thicken.

Notes

If peaches are very tart, add an extra tablespoon of honey. For a gluten-free version, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend and add an extra tablespoon of buttermilk. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
