Ingredients
  

For the Peach Filling
  • 6 cups peaches fresh or frozen, sliced
  • 0.75 cup granulated sugar adjust to taste
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 0.5 teaspoon nutmeg ground
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
For the Cream Cheese Biscuit Topping
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.25 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 4 ounces cream cheese cold, cut into cubes
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter cold, cut into cubes
  • 0.5 cup milk approx.
  • 1 tablespoon milk for brushing
  • 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar for topping

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Butter a 9x13 inch baking dish or a similar-sized oven-safe skillet.
  2. Prepare the peach filling: In a large bowl, gently toss the sliced peaches with granulated sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice until evenly coated. Pour the peach mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  3. Make the cream cheese biscuit topping: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold cream cheese and cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces.
  4. Gradually add the milk, stirring just until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix. The dough should be slightly sticky.
  5. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly over the peach filling. Don't worry about covering the entire surface; gaps are good for steam to escape.
  6. Brush the tops of the biscuits with the extra tablespoon of milk and sprinkle with turbinado sugar for a golden-brown crust.
  7. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly and thickened. If the topping starts to brown too quickly, you can loosely tent the dish with foil.
  8. Let the cobbler cool for at least 15-20 minutes before serving. Serve warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Notes

For an extra burst of flavor, you can add a splash of vanilla extract to the peach filling. If using frozen peaches, do not thaw them completely before preparing the filling, and you may need to add an extra teaspoon of cornstarch.
