Golden, caramelized peaches bubble beneath a tender, buttery biscuit topping in this classic American dessert. Peach cobbler is rustic, easy to prepare, and irresistibly delicious—especially with a scoop of vanilla ice cream melting into the warm filling.
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
In a large bowl, toss peach slices with sugars, vanilla, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch until well coated.
-
Pour peach mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish or a large cast iron skillet.
-
Bake for 10 minutes to begin softening the peaches.
-
In a medium bowl, mix flour, sugars, baking powder, and salt.
-
Cut in the butter with a pastry cutter or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Add boiling water and stir just until combined.
-
Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit batter over the partially baked peaches (don’t worry about full coverage).
-
Sprinkle the optional cinnamon sugar over the top for extra crunch.
-
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peaches are bubbling.
-
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
-
Try a drizzle of caramel or a dash of bourbon in the peach filling for added depth.
