A warm, comforting peach cobbler made in a skillet with a rustic brown sugar drop biscuit topping. Quick and easy to prepare, perfect for cozy nights or impromptu gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 6 medium peaches)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (or almond flour for gluten-free option)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons packed brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk, cold (or dairy-free milk mixed with 1 tablespoon vinegar)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, toss the sliced peaches with granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt. Stir until evenly coated and let sit for 10 minutes to macerate.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or two knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits of butter.
  5. Pour in the cold buttermilk and gently stir until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Pour the peach filling into an oven-safe skillet and spread evenly.
  7. Drop dollops of biscuit dough over the peaches, leaving gaps for juices to bubble through.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  9. Let the cobbler rest for about 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

If biscuit topping browns too quickly, tent loosely with foil halfway through baking. Sprinkle coarse sugar on biscuit topping before baking for extra crunch. Use frozen peaches if fresh are unavailable, thaw and drain excess liquid. Buttermilk can be swapped with plain yogurt or dairy-free milk with vinegar. For gluten-free, substitute flour with gluten-free baking blend.
