Easy Peach Cobbler
This peach cobbler recipe features a crispy, buttery topping over a sweet and juicy peach filling. The peaches are spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg, and the biscuits are slightly sweet and delicious, served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Ingredients
- 3 pounds yellow peaches (about 7 medium peaches), pitted and cut into ¼-inch slices
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 6 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1-¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
For the Sweet Biscuits:
- 1-½ cups all-purpose flour , spooned into a measuring cup and leveled off with a knife
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 1-¾ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 113 g (8 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter , cut into small chunks, plus more for greasing the pan
- ¾ cup plus 2 tablespoons buttermilk or homemade buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar for sprinkling
- For serving
- Vanilla ice cream or sweetened whipped cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and set an oven rack in the middle position. Grease an 11'' x 8.75'' baking dish with butter; set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine the peaches, sugars, lemon zest, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, vanilla, and cornstarch. Stir to incorporate, and set the peach mixture aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the cubed butter, and work it into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter or your hands until it resembles coarse bread crumbs.
- Whisk buttermilk and vanilla together in a glass measuring cup or small bowl; add it to the flour and butter mixture and stir together with a rubber spatula, just until combined; do not overmix.
- Transfer the peach mixture to the prepared baking dish. Using a large spoon, dollop spoonfuls of biscuit batter over the peaches; sprinkle with the remaining tablespoon of turbinado sugar.
- Bake until the tops are golden brown and juices are thick and bubbling about 40 to 45 minutes. If the biscuits are browning too much, cover loosely with foil. Remove the pan from the oven. Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Notes
How to Store & Reheat
To store: Allow it to cool completely to room temperature. Once cooled, cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap or transfer individual portions to airtight containers. Store the cobbler in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It's important to keep it well-sealed to maintain its freshness and prevent it from drying out.
To reheat: There are several methods for reheating peach cobbler. One is to bake it. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), place the cobbler in an oven-safe dish, and cover it loosely with foil. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until it is heated through. If you prefer a quicker method, you can use the microwave.
Place individual portions of the cobbler on a microwave-safe plate and heat them on medium power in 30-second intervals, stirring or rotating the plate in between. Be careful not to overheat the cobbler, as it can cause the topping to become soggy. Once reheated, serve the peach cobbler warm and enjoy it as is or with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream for a delightful treat.
Make Ahead
The Peach Cobbler can be made one day ahead and kept covered with plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat, covered with foil, in a preheated 300F oven for about 25 minutes, then remove the foil and continue reheating for 15 to 20 minutes or until warm through.
How to Freeze
To freeze the peach cobbler, first, ensure it is completely cooled. Once it has cooled, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and place it in a freezer-safe container. Make sure to label the container with the date so you know how long it has been in the freezer. Peach cobbler will last in the freezer for up to 2 months. Next, thaw overnight in the refrigerator, reheat, and cover with foil in a preheated 300F oven for about 25 minutes. Remove the foil and continue reheating for 15 to 20 minutes or until warm through.
