This easy peach cobbler features a jammy, caramelized peach filling topped with tender, fluffy buttermilk biscuits. It’s a crowd-pleasing summer dessert that comes together quickly with simple ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 6–7 medium peaches)
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
  • 1 cup cold buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place your cast iron skillet or baking dish on a baking sheet to catch any potential overflow.
  2. Peel and slice the peaches. In a medium bowl, combine the sliced peaches, ¾ cup sugar, lemon juice, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Stir gently and let sit while you make the biscuit dough.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, ¼ cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the cold butter cubes and toss to coat. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse meal with some pea-sized butter chunks remaining.
  4. Make a well in the center and pour in the cold buttermilk. Stir with a fork or rubber spatula until just combined. The dough will be shaggy and slightly sticky.
  5. Pour the peach mixture into the skillet or baking dish and spread into an even layer. Drop dollops of biscuit dough over the peaches, leaving some space between them. Sprinkle turbinado sugar over the biscuits.
  6. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a biscuit comes out clean. Let cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Keep butter and buttermilk cold for fluffy biscuits. Do not overmix the dough. Let cobbler rest 15-20 minutes before serving to allow filling to set. For extra caramelization, place skillet on bottom rack for last 5 minutes of baking.
