Ingredients
  

For the peach filling
  • 4 cups fresh or canned peaches, sliced (about 6-7 medium peaches or 2 cans of peaches in syrup)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar Adjust depending on the sweetness of the peaches
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch To thicken the filling
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice Optional, for brightness
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract Optional, for added flavor
For the biscuit topping
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes Important for flaky texture
  • 1/2 cup whole milk Can use buttermilk for extra richness

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches with 1/2 cup of sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Stir until all the peaches are well-coated, then pour the mixture into your greased baking dish.
Biscuit Topping
  1. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Add the cold butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Gradually add the milk, stirring until just combined.
Assembly and Baking
  1. Spoon the biscuit mixture over the peach filling in clumps—don’t spread it out.
  2. Place the cobbler in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges.
  3. After baking, let the cobbler cool for about 10 minutes before serving warm. Pair it with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 to 5 days or freeze for longer storage. Can be served with ice cream or whipped cream.
