Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 600g)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (150g)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (50g)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • a pinch of nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (15g)
  • 2 tablespoons bourbon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (250g)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed (115g)
  • 3/4 cup cold milk (180ml)
  • 1 large egg, beaten

Instructions

  1. Prep the Peaches (10 minutes): Peel, pit, and slice about 4 cups (600g) of fresh peaches. If using frozen peaches, thaw and drain excess liquid. Toss peach slices with 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, a pinch of nutmeg, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons bourbon, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix gently and set aside to macerate.
  2. Make the Biscuit Topping (15 minutes): In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add 1/2 cup cold cubed unsalted butter and cut into the flour using a pastry cutter or two forks until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits. Slowly stir in 3/4 cup cold milk and 1 beaten egg, mixing just until combined without overworking.
  3. Assemble the Cobbler (5 minutes): Pour the peach filling into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading evenly. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough over the peaches, leaving small gaps so the topping can spread while baking.
  4. Bake (35-40 minutes): Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake until biscuit topping is golden brown and peach filling is bubbly around edges. Tent with foil if topping browns too quickly.
  5. Cool & Serve (10 minutes): Let cobbler cool for about 10 minutes to thicken filling. Serve warm, ideally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

Keep the butter cold and do not overmix the biscuit dough to ensure a flaky topping. Macerate peaches with sugar and bourbon to meld flavors and soften fruit. Drop biscuit dough in spoonfuls rather than spreading thinly to avoid cakey topping. If peaches release little juice, add a splash of water before baking. For gluten-free or dairy-free versions, substitute flours and fats accordingly.
