This Easy Peach Cobbler recipe combines juicy, sweet yellow peaches with a tender, buttery biscuit topping. Baked to golden perfection, it’s a comforting dessert ideal for summer gatherings or any time you crave a warm, fruity treat. The blend of brown and granulated sugars, fresh lemon juice, and vanilla adds depth to the peach filling, while the fluffy topping provides a delightful contrast in texture.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Filling

  • 2 pounds yellow peaches, sliced
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • Juice from 1/2 lemon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons corn starch or tapioca flour

Topping

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla paste or 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Grease or butter a 9×6-inch baking casserole dish (or similar size) and set aside.
  2. Make the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, brown sugar, granulated sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, kosher salt, and corn starch or tapioca flour. Toss gently until everything is evenly mixed. Pour this peach filling into the prepared baking dish.
  3. Prepare the Topping: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, kosher salt, and sugar. Add the whole milk, melted butter, and vanilla paste or extract. Stir until the batter is just combined; do not overmix.
  4. Assemble Cobbler: Pour the topping batter evenly over the peach filling. It’s perfectly fine if some of the filling shows through the topping—it adds to the rustic charm.
  5. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 50 to 55 minutes. Bake until the peach filling is bubbling and the topping is golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Serve: Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool slightly. Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of cold vanilla ice cream for a delicious contrast.

Notes

  • The topping doesn’t need to fully cover the peaches; some filling peeking through is traditional and visually appealing.
  • You can substitute tapioca flour for corn starch if you prefer a gluten-free thickener for the filling.
  • Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving to let the filling set and avoid burns.
  • For an extra flavor boost, sprinkle a little cinnamon or nutmeg into the filling or topping mixture.
  • This recipe can be doubled and baked in a larger dish; baking time may need slight adjustment.
