Ingredients

For the Peach Filling

6 cups peeled, sliced fresh peaches about 8 ripe peaches
1/2 cup granulated sugar adjust to sweetness of peaches
1/4 cup all-purpose flour or cornstarch
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg freshly grated if possible
1 tablespoon butter cut into small pieces

For the Cobbler Topping

1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup whole milk or buttermilk
3 tablespoon unsalted butter melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Butter a 9-inch pie dish or a similar-sized baking dish.
In a large bowl, gently toss the sliced peaches with 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 cup flour, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Let sit for about 10 minutes.
Pour the peach mixture into the prepared baking dish. Dot the top with the 1 tablespoon of butter pieces.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt for the topping.
In a small bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Drop spoonfuls of the cobbler topping evenly over the peach mixture. It doesn't need to cover completely.
Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling. If the topping starts to brown too quickly, you can loosely tent it with foil.
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 a richer topping, you can brush the tops of the biscuits with a little milk and sprinkle with coarse sugar before baking. Ensure your peaches are ripe but still slightly firm to hold their shape during baking.
