Ingredients
Scale
Peach Filling
- 5-6 cups peeled and sliced fresh peaches (about 6-7 peaches)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
Biscuit Topping
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/4 cup boiling water
Topping Sprinkle
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the Peach Filling: Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C). In a large bowl, combine the peeled and sliced peaches with granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Stir thoroughly to ensure the peaches are evenly coated with the mixture.
- Transfer Peach Mixture: Pour the peach filling into a 9×13 inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly for uniform baking.
- Prepare the Biscuit Topping: In a medium bowl, combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Use a pastry cutter or two forks to cut in the cold, cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add Boiling Water to Topping: Stir in the boiling water just until the ingredients come together. Avoid overmixing to maintain a light texture.
- Assemble the Cobbler: Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit topping evenly over the peach filling in the baking dish, covering as much surface as possible but leaving some gaps for bubbling peach juices.
- Sprinkle Sugar-Cinnamon: Mix granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl, then sprinkle this evenly over the biscuit topping to create a sweet, spiced crust.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving to allow the filling to set and to prevent burns. Enjoy warm.
Notes
- Use ripe, juicy peaches for the best flavor and sweetness.
- For a deeper flavor, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract to the peach filling.
- Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgent dessert.
- Leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- You can substitute peaches with other stone fruits like nectarines or plums as desired.
