Easy Peach Cobbler Recipe
Ingredients
Filling:
- 7 fresh ripe peaches, peeled and sliced - about 2 lbs (900 grams) of sliced peaches
- ¼ cup brown sugar - 50 grams
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1.5 tsp cornstarch
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Biscuit Topping:
- 1½ cup all purpose flour - 180 grams
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 3 tbsp granulated sugar
- 7 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cubed - 100 grams
- ½ cup whole or 2% milk - 120 grams
- 2 tbsp extra milk to brush on top
- 1-2 tbsp extra sugar to sprinkle on top
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 10 by 7 inch baking dish with butter and set aside. I used my Le Creuset baking dish which I love.
- Prepare the filling: In a bowl add in sliced peaches, lemon juice, vanilla extract, brown sugar, cinnamon and cornstarch. Mix until combined and transfer to the prepared baking dish. Set aside.
- Make the topping: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, sugar and baking powder. Then add cubed cold butter and start working the butter into the flour with the tip of your fingers or a pastry cutter, until the butter pieces are about the size of a pea and the mixture resembles coarse meal. Now add the cold milk into the mixture and use a fork to mix it all together, do not over-mix. The consistency will be like cookie dough. Then use a spoon or a cookie scoop and place the dough all over the filling.
- Brush the dough tops with some milk and sprinkle sugar on top for some added crunch.
- Bake: bake in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes or until the filling is bubbling and the top is golden brown. You can test to see if the dough is baked through with a toothpick. Let it cool down on a wire rack for about 10 minutes. Serve warm or cold with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side.

Notes
Note: This recipe is more on the less sweet side, which I like, but you can definitely add more sugar to the filling based on the sweetness of the peaches you are using.
