A simple and comforting summer dessert featuring juicy peaches topped with warm, fluffy cinnamon drop biscuits. Perfect served warm with vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 medium fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (150g), plus extra for sprinkling
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (120g)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus extra for sprinkling
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (113g), cold and cubed
  • 1/2 cup whole milk (120ml), room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Vanilla ice cream, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Peel, pit, and slice the peaches into 1/2-inch thick slices. Toss with 3/4 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Let sit for 10 minutes to macerate.
  3. Pour the peach mixture into an 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) oven-safe baking dish, spreading evenly.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  5. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or forks until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter bits.
  6. Stir in milk and vanilla extract just until combined; do not overmix.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough evenly over the peaches, leaving some peach visible between biscuits.
  8. Sprinkle the biscuit topping lightly with extra sugar and cinnamon.
  9. Bake for 35–40 minutes until the topping is golden brown and peach juices are bubbly. Cover with foil if topping browns too quickly.
  10. Let cool for about 10 minutes before serving warm with vanilla ice cream.

Notes

If peaches are extra juicy, add 1 tablespoon cornstarch to the peach mixture before baking to thicken juices. Keep butter cold and do not overmix biscuit dough for tender biscuits. Cover with foil if topping browns too fast. Peeling peaches is easier by blanching in boiling water for 30 seconds then plunging into ice water.
