Cook Time 50 minutes

Ingredients

  • 8-9 medium peaches, peeled and cut into 1-1.5 inch chunks (about 10 cups)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp spnnamon
  • 1/8 tsp salt

Buttermilk Biscuit Topping

  • 2 cups flour 
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup butter cold and cubed
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk cold

Egg Wash

  • 1 egg beaten
  • 1 tbsp milk or buttermilk

Optional

  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13 inch pan.

Filling

  • Ina large bowl, stir the peach chunks, brown sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt together until thoroughly combined. 
  • Spoon filling into prepared pan and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside as you prepare the topping. Leave your oven on.

Topping

  • Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. Add the butter. Using a pastry cutter or two forks, cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse meal (pea-sized bits). A pastry cutter makes this step very easy and quick!
  • While slowly stirring, slowly drizzle in the buttermilk. Mix until evenly combined.
  • Take handfuls of dough and gently flatten them out. Place dough all over the top of the peach filling. It doesn’t need to be perfect or look pretty– some peach filling can be showing.
  • Brush the top of the biscuit dough with egg wash, then sprinkle with cinnamon sugar if using.
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes or until lightly browned and biscuit topping is cooked through. (Stick a toothpick into the biscuit topping, if it comes out clean– it is cooked through and the cobbler is done.) Let it cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
