Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 medium fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 whole vanilla bean, split and scraped (or 1 teaspoon pure vanilla bean paste)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar (light or dark)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes
  • 1/2 cup whole milk, room temperature
  • Optional: pinch of cinnamon for filling
  • Optional: chopped pecans for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish lightly with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine sliced peaches, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and scraped vanilla bean seeds. Toss gently and let sit for about 10 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Add cold butter cubes to the flour mixture and cut in using a pastry cutter or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter bits.
  5. Pour in room temperature milk and stir gently until just combined. Let dough rest for 5 minutes.
  6. Pour peach mixture with juices into the prepared baking dish, spreading evenly.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough over peaches, covering as much surface as possible but leaving some gaps.
  8. Bake for 35–40 minutes until biscuit crust is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean, and peach filling is bubbly.
  9. Let cobbler rest for 10–15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Keep butter cold for flaky biscuits. Do not overmix dough to avoid tough biscuits. Blanch peaches in boiling water for 30 seconds and plunge into ice water to peel easily. Tent with foil if crust browns too fast. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Can substitute milk with almond or oat milk for dairy-free option. Use gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free version.
