Peach cobbler is a classic baked dessert made with juicy peaches and a soft biscuit or cake-like topping. It’s loved for its rustic texture and rich flavor, especially when served warm. Traditionally, cobblers use ripe peaches, sugar, spices, and a buttery topping that bakes into a golden crust.
🥧 Ingredients
For the Peach Filling
- 5–6 fresh peaches (peeled, pitted, sliced or chunked)
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup white sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1–2 tsp cornstarch
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
- ½ tsp vanilla extract (optional)
👉 Using chunks instead of thin slices helps keep the peaches from becoming mushy while baking.
For the Cobbler Topping
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 6 tbsp cold butter (cubed)
- ¼ cup milk or buttermilk
Optional Topping
- 2 tbsp sugar + ½ tsp cinnamon (for sprinkling)
