Print Recipe

A quick and satisfying summer dessert featuring fresh peaches with a buttery biscuit topping, served warm with creamy vanilla bean ice cream.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 medium fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes
  • 1/2 cup whole milk (or almond milk for dairy-free)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Creamy vanilla bean ice cream, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss the sliced peaches with granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Mix gently until evenly coated. Set aside for about 10 minutes.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Add cold, cubed butter and cut into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or fork until it resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces.
  4. Stir in the milk and vanilla extract until just combined. The batter should be thick but spreadable. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Pour the peach mixture, including juices, into a 9×9-inch baking dish. Drop spoonfuls of the topping evenly over the peaches, allowing gaps for peaches to peek through.
  6. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the topping is golden brown and firm, and peach juices bubble at the edges.
  7. Let the cobbler rest for 10-15 minutes before serving to thicken the juices.
  8. Serve warm topped with a generous scoop of creamy vanilla bean ice cream.

Notes

If topping browns too fast, tent loosely with foil halfway through baking. For juicier filling, add a splash of water or extra lemon juice. Peeling peaches is easier by blanching them in boiling water for 30 seconds then plunging into ice water. Avoid overmixing topping to keep it tender. Cold butter is key for flaky crust. Can prep peach filling a day ahead and refrigerate.
