One of my absolute favorite end of summer dessert is Peach Cobbler. It is a simple and delicious recipe that will fill your kitchen with the aroma of brown butter, late summer peaches and gentle autumnal spices. Peach cobbler reminds me of cozy feelings all around, while sharing good times with friends and family. It truly is the perfect way to kick off the onset of cold weather and thanksgiving season!

Recipe — Peach Cobbler

Serving Size: 2—4

Ingredients

  • Peach - 4, pitted and cut into ¾ inch slices

  • Brown Sugar - ¼ - ½ cup (depends on how sweet you prefer)

  • Fresh Lemon Juice - 1 tbsp

  • Cornstarch - ¼ tsp

  • Kosher Salt - 1 pinch

  • Ground Nutmeg - 1 pinch

  • Cinnamon - 1 pinch

  • Vanilla Extract - 1 tsp

  • Butter - 4 tbsp

  • Biscuits - 6 to 8

  • Dusting — Brown Sugar + Cinnamon

  • Old Fashioned Vanilla Ice Cream

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.

  2. Peach Filling. In a large bowl, combine peaches with brown sugar, fresh lemon juice, cornstarch, kosher salt, ground nutmeg, cinnamon and vanilla extract. Stir well to combine.

  3. Melt the butter and divide it in equal parts between the two skillet. I used two 6-inch mini cast iron skillet to make individual servings. But you may use a large 10-inch or 12-inch skillet.

  4. Scrape peaches and any juices on to the skillet with the melted butter. Transfer to the oven and bake on middle rack for 10 to 15 minutes.

  5. Biscuit Topping. If you prefer to make homemade biscuits, check out our scone recipe (see note). Or you can use store bought biscuits (just like I have), after all, this recipe is meant to be easy and quick.

  6. Remove the peaches from the oven and place the biscuit dough over the peaches.

  7. Reduce the heat to to 375°F. Transfer the skillet back in the oven for 20 minutes, or until golden on top.

  8. Remove the skillet from the oven and dust with cinnamon sugar. Return cobbler to oven for a final bake. Bake until browned on top and biscuit is fully cooked through — another 5 minutes.

  9. Remove the peach cobbler from the oven and let rest at least 5 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature with some good old fashioned vanilla ice cream and dust with more cinnamon sugar.

Note: Traditionally southern biscuits are used for peach cobbler. But when I do make biscuits for peach cobbler from scratch, I love following my scones recipe.

  • Biscuits have more butter and acidity (from the buttermilk), making them extra fluffy and flaky which make then great for savory dishes like chicken soup or gravy.

  • Scones on the other hand rely on richer and denser ingredients like heavy cream and eggs to get a sturdy, yet crumbly pastry which goes great with jam, compote, coulis, clotted cream, whipped cream and of course ice cream!
