  • Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Peach Filling

  • 4 pounds fresh peaches (sliced 1/2-inch thick)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Cobbler Topping

  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter (cut into 1-tablespoon chunks)
  • 2/3 cup cold buttermilk (plus extra for brushing)
  • 2 tablespoons turbinado sugar

Instructions

  1. Heat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F to ensure it’s hot and ready for baking the peaches and the cobbler topping.
  2. Prepare the peach filling: In a large mixing bowl or directly in a 9 x 13-inch baking dish, gently toss the sliced peaches with granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, sea salt, and cinnamon until evenly combined. Spread the peach mixture in an even layer in the baking dish. Bake for 10 minutes, allowing the peaches to start softening while you prepare the topping.
  3. Prepare the cobbler topping: In a food processor, pulse together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt briefly to combine. Scatter the cold butter chunks over the mixture and pulse in short bursts until you achieve a coarse crumb consistency with some pea-sized butter pieces remaining. Drizzle the cold buttermilk and pulse just until the dough begins to clump together; avoid over-mixing to keep it slightly sticky.
  4. Assemble the cobbler: Remove the baking dish with the hot peaches from the oven carefully. Using your fingers, drop small chunks of the cobbler topping over the peaches to cover them as much as possible, leaving some gaps naturally. Brush the dough topping lightly with extra buttermilk and sprinkle the turbinado sugar evenly over the top for added texture and sweetness.
  5. Bake the cobbler: Return the cobbler to the oven and bake for about 40 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly around the edges. Once done, transfer the baking dish to a wire rack and allow it to cool for 20 to 30 minutes to thicken the juices.
  6. Serve: Serve the peach cobbler warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream for a classic, indulgent finish. Enjoy your delicious homemade dessert!

Notes

  • For a hand-mixed topping, combine dry ingredients in a bowl and cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or two knives until coarse crumbs form before adding buttermilk.
  • Using cold butter is essential to achieve a tender, crumbly biscuit topping that bakes up light and flaky.
  • Letting the cobbler cool after baking ensures the peach juices thicken properly, preventing a watery dessert.
  • Turbinado sugar adds a nice crunchy texture on top but can be omitted or replaced with regular sugar if unavailable.
  • Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
