This recipe combines the juicy sweetness of fresh peaches with a simple, buttery biscuit topping for a classic summer dessert.
Ingredients:
- For the Filling:
- 6 cups peeled, sliced fresh peaches (about 5-6 medium peaches)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of nutmeg
- For the Topping:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1/2 cup milk
Instructions:
- Prepare the Filling:
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, sugar, flour, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss gently to coat the peaches evenly.
- Prepare the Topping:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add the milk, stirring with a fork until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Assemble the Cobbler:
- Pour the peach filling into a 9-inch pie plate or baking dish.
- Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit topping evenly over the peach filling.
- Bake:
- Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Serve:
- Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Tips and Variations:
- For a richer flavor, add a tablespoon of brown sugar to the peach filling.
- You can use frozen peaches for this recipe. Thaw them completely before using.
- Add other fruits to the filling, such as blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries.
- Top the cobbler with a streusel topping for extra crunch.
