Print Recipe

A cozy and crowd-pleasing dessert featuring juicy peaches with a hint of bourbon and a buttery brown sugar biscuit topping that caramelizes beautifully.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5–6 ripe peaches, peeled and sliced (about 4 cups)
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons bourbon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/2 cup whole milk (or buttermilk)
  • Optional: vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for serving

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, bourbon, vanilla extract, cinnamon (if using), and cornstarch. Toss gently to coat evenly and set aside to macerate.
  2. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and brown sugar.
  4. Add cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture and cut in with a pastry cutter or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized lumps.
  5. Pour milk into the flour-butter mixture and stir just until combined to form a soft dough.
  6. Pour peach filling into a 9×9-inch baking dish, spreading evenly.
  7. Dollop spoonfuls of biscuit dough over the peaches without worrying about perfect coverage.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes until biscuit topping is golden brown and peach filling is bubbly.
  9. Let cobbler rest for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Keep butter cold for flaky biscuits. Use ripe but firm peaches for best texture. If biscuit topping browns too fast, tent with foil halfway through baking. Let cobbler rest after baking to thicken filling. For gluten-free, substitute flour with gluten-free blend and add more baking powder. For vegan, use coconut oil and plant-based milk, and replace bourbon with vanilla extract.
