Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 600g)
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar (100g)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (120g)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar (65g)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed (85g)
  • 1/3 cup milk (80ml), whole milk preferred

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peach Filling: In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches, 1/2 cup brown sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt. Toss gently until peaches are evenly coated. Let sit for about 10 minutes.
  2. Make the Biscuit Dough: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and 1/3 cup brown sugar. Cut the cold butter into small cubes and blend into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or fingers until coarse crumbs form.
  3. Add Milk: Pour in the milk gradually, stirring gently with a spatula just until the dough comes together. Avoid overmixing; dough should be soft but not sticky.
  4. Assemble in Skillet: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Pour peach filling into a 10-inch cast iron skillet, spreading evenly. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough over the peaches, covering as much surface as possible but leaving some gaps.
  5. Bake: Place skillet on middle oven rack and bake for 35-40 minutes until biscuit topping is deep golden brown and peach filling bubbles around edges. Tent with foil if crust browns too fast.
  6. Cool Slightly Before Serving: Let cobbler rest for 10-15 minutes to thicken juices and make serving easier.

Notes

Use cold butter for flaky biscuit crust. Toss peaches with cornstarch and lemon juice to avoid a soupy filling. Tent with foil if crust browns too quickly. Fresh peaches preferred but frozen can be used with slight cornstarch adjustment. For gluten-free, substitute flour with gluten-free baking blend and adjust milk as needed.
