How to Make Peach Cobbler

1. Prepare the Oven

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter.

2. Prepare the Peaches

Place the sliced peaches in a large bowl.

Add granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and cinnamon.

Stir gently until the peaches are evenly coated.

3. Make the Peach Filling

Transfer the peach mixture to the prepared baking dish.

Spread the peaches evenly across the bottom.

4. Prepare the Cobbler Topping

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Pour in the milk and stir gently until a soft dough forms.

5. Add the Topping

Drop spoonfuls of the cobbler dough evenly over the peaches.

Leave a few small spaces between portions so the peach filling can bubble through while baking.

6. Bake the Cobbler

Bake for about 40–45 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges.

7. Cool Slightly

Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it rest for about 15 minutes.

This allows the peach filling to thicken slightly.

8. Serve

Spoon the warm peach cobbler into bowls.

Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired.

Tips for Perfect Peach Cobbler

• Use ripe, flavorful peaches for the best results.
• Slice the peaches evenly so they cook at the same rate.
• Fresh peaches work beautifully, but frozen peaches can also be used.
• Do not overmix the biscuit topping.
• Use cold butter for a lighter, more textured topping.
• Let the cobbler rest before serving so the filling can thicken.
• Place the baking dish on a sheet pan to catch any bubbling juices.
