Description
Experience the ultimate summer dessert with this classic Southern-style peach cobbler. Featuring sun-ripened, juicy stone fruit tossed with warm notes of nutmeg and vanilla, this dish is topped with a golden, buttery biscuit crust. By preheating the baking dish, you ensure a perfectly crisp bottom and a syrupy, caramelized fruit base that is ideal for family gatherings. This comforting, crowd-pleasing dessert highlights the natural sweetness of fresh peaches without any complex techniques, resulting in a perfectly balanced treat in every spoonful.
Ingredients
6 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
1 cup granulated sugar, divided
1.5 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
0.5 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
0.5 cup whole milk
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
0.25 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Combine the sliced fresh peaches, half of the sugar, and the nutmeg in a large mixing bowl.
Toss the fruit mixture until coated and transfer it into a greased nine by thirteen inch baking dish.
Whisk the flour, remaining sugar, and baking powder in a separate large bowl.
Cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the milk and vanilla extract until just combined to form the biscuit dough.
Drop spoonfuls of the dough over the peach base in the baking dish.
Bake for 45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.
Notes
Preheating the baking dish before adding the fruit helps prevent a soggy crust. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream.
