Southern Peach Cobbler

This Southern Peach Cobbler is a classic dessert with a rich, sweet filling made from juicy peaches and a warm, spiced cinnamon biscuit topping. Perfectly golden on top, with a velvety peach filling beneath, it’s a comforting treat that’s easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser!

Ingredients

Peaches

• 2 bags Frozen peaches (20 ounces each)
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon Almond extract (optional)
• ½ tablespoon Cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon Nutmeg
• 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Cream of tartar
• ½ stick Unsalted butter, room temperature
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 teaspoon Fresh lemon juice

Cobbler Topping

• 2 cups Flour
• ½ cup Granulated sugar
• ½ cup Brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 tablespoon Cinnamon (reserve ½ teaspoon for garnish)
• 1 stick Unsalted butter, cold
• ¼ cup Boiling hot water (see notes)
• ½ teaspoon Salt
• 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray a 9×13 baking dish with non-stick spray.
2. In the prepared dish, add frozen peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, almond extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, cornstarch, cream of tartar, butter, water, and lemon juice. Stir to combine.
3. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
4. While the peaches are baking, prepare the topping. Combine flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and ½ tablespoon cinnamon in a bowl.
5. Work the cold butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or your hands until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add boiling hot water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough reaches a drop-biscuit-like texture.
6. Remove peaches from the oven and spoon the dough mixture over the peaches in golf-ball-sized portions, leaving a bit of space between each.
7. Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture over the dough.
8. Return the dish to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 30-45 minutes until the topping is golden brown.

Notes:

• You can substitute fresh peaches for frozen peaches (8 fresh peaches will work well). Fresh peaches may release more liquid, so you might need to adjust the cooking time.
• If the dough is too thick, add more hot water, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches the desired consistency.
• If there is too much liquid in the dish after baking, carefully remove some using a turkey baster or gently pour it out. Cobbler thickens as it cools.
