Southern Peach Cobbler – A Classic Comfort Dessert

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray and set aside.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Stir together until the peaches are evenly coated. Pour into the prepared baking dish.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Add the cold butter and use a pastry cutter or fork to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add the milk and stir until just combined.

Step 4

Spoon the biscuit topping over the peach filling in dollops. The topping should be in clumps, not spread evenly. It will spread and puff up while baking.

Step 5

Place the cobbler in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges.

Step 6

Once baked, remove from the oven and let the cobbler cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
