To make Peach Cobbler with Biscuit Topping, you need the following items: - 6 ripe peaches, peeled and sliced into wedges - 1 cup granulated sugar, divided into two ½ cup portions - 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon - 2 cups all-purpose flour - 2 tablespoons baking powder - ½ teaspoon salt - ¾ cup whole milk - ½ cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled - 1 teaspoon almond extract - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for greasing the baking dish) Using fresh peaches makes a big difference in flavor. Look for peaches that are ripe, sweet, and slightly soft to the touch. They should smell fragrant and have a nice golden color. If fresh peaches are out of season, canned peaches can work too, but they may add extra juice. When using canned peaches, drain them well before adding to the mix. For the best taste, I recommend using peaches when they are in season, usually from late summer to early fall. This gives you the sweetest and juiciest fruit for your cobbler. Enjoy the process, and don’t hesitate to experiment with different peach varieties for unique flavors! 1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This helps the cobbler bake evenly. 2. Take the unsalted butter and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Use 1 tablespoon of butter for this. Set the dish aside. 3. Slice the ripe peaches into wedges. In a large bowl, combine the peaches with ½ cup of granulated sugar. 4. Add fresh lemon juice, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon to the peaches. Stir gently to coat the peaches well. Let them sit for about 10 minutes. This will help the flavors blend and create juices. 5. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and the remaining ½ cup of sugar. Mix well. 6. Now, add melted butter, whole milk, and almond extract to the dry mixture. Stir until just combined. It’s okay if some lumps remain. Do not overmix the batter. 1. Pour the peach mixture, along with any juices, into the greased baking dish. Spread it out evenly. 2. Use a spoon to drop spoonfuls of the biscuit batter over the peaches. Don’t worry if it doesn’t cover everything. 3. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake it for 35-40 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when the biscuit topping is golden brown. A toothpick should come out clean when inserted into the center. To serve, let the cobbler cool for about 10 minutes. This helps the juices set. Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. You can also sprinkle a little ground cinnamon for extra flavor. For a nice touch, garnish your plates with fresh peach slices. Enjoy this delightful dessert warm for the best taste experience! For the full recipe, check out the details provided above. To make the best biscuit topping, avoid these common mistakes: - Overmixing: This makes the topping tough. Stir just until combined. - Using cold butter: It should be melted and slightly cool for a better texture. - Ignoring the fruit: Let the peach mixture sit to release juices before baking. For tools, I suggest these: - Mixing bowls: Use two for dry and wet ingredients. - Whisk: This helps blend your dry mix well. - Spatula: A rubber spatula works great for folding the batter. To add extra spice or flavor, try these ideas: - Nutmeg: A pinch can add warmth. - Ginger: Fresh or ground ginger gives a nice kick. - Cinnamon: Use more than the recipe calls for, if you love it. For fruit alternatives, consider: - Berries: Blueberries or raspberries mix well with peaches. - Apples: Tart apples bring a crispness to the dish. - Plums: These add a sweet-tart contrast. Explore the full recipe for more tips! {{image_4}} If you need to make your peach cobbler fit special diets, don't worry! You can easily adjust the ingredients. - Gluten-free flour alternatives: Use a gluten-free all-purpose flour mix instead of regular flour. Look for blends that include rice flour or almond flour. These options will keep the texture light and tasty. - Vegan substitutions for butter and milk: Swap out the butter for coconut oil or vegan butter. For milk, use almond milk or oat milk. These changes make the cobbler vegan without losing flavor. Peach cobbler is great, but you can switch it up with other fruits too! - Using berries or apples in the recipe: Try adding blueberries, raspberries, or diced apples. Each fruit offers a new taste. Just remember that apples may need a bit more sugar than peaches. - How to adjust sugar levels for other fruits: Different fruits have varied sweetness levels. Taste your fruit mixture before baking. If the fruit is tart, you may want to add more sugar. For sweeter fruits, cut the sugar down a bit to keep balance. For the full recipe, check the details above and see how these variations can make your cobbler unique! To keep your peach cobbler fresh, refrigerate it. Place it in an airtight container. This helps keep the flavors strong and the texture nice. You can store it for up to four days. If you want to save it for longer, freeze it. To freeze the cobbler, let it cool completely. Cut it into portions and wrap each piece tightly in plastic wrap. Then, put the wrapped pieces in a freezer-safe bag. This way, you can enjoy it for up to three months. When you're ready to eat your cobbler, reheating it is easy. The best way is to use an oven. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the cobbler in a baking dish and cover it with foil. Heat it for about 15-20 minutes. This keeps the topping from getting too hard. If you prefer a microwave, use it with care. Heat small portions for 30 seconds at a time. Check after each time to avoid overheating. The ideal serving temperature is warm, around 120°F (49°C). This makes the flavors pop and enhances the experience. How do I tell when the cobbler is done baking? You can tell the cobbler is done when the topping turns golden brown. Stick a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean. This shows the batter cooked through. The baking time is usually 35 to 40 minutes at 375°F (190°C). Can I use frozen peaches instead of fresh ones? Yes, you can use frozen peaches. Just thaw and drain them first. This helps remove extra moisture. If you skip this step, your cobbler may become watery. Can I make the biscuit topping ahead of time? Yes, you can prepare the biscuit topping ahead. Just cover it and store it in the fridge. When you are ready to bake, drop it over the peaches as directed. What should I do if my topping is too wet? If your topping is too wet, add a bit more flour. Start with one tablespoon and mix it in. This helps absorb extra moisture and gives you a better texture. Peach cobbler is a delightful treat. We covered ingredients, prep steps, and baking tips. Remember to choose fresh peaches for the best flavor. Avoid common pitfalls like overmixing the biscuit topping. You can also explore variations with different fruits or dietary needs. Proper storage ensures your cobbler stays tasty for longer. With these insights, you can create a delicious peach cobbler that everyone will enjoy. Happy baking!

Ingredients
  

6 ripe peaches, peeled and sliced into wedges

1 cup granulated sugar, divided into two ½ cup portions

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

¾ cup whole milk

½ cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled

1 teaspoon almond extract

1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for greasing the baking dish)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Use 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter to grease a 9x13 inch baking dish thoroughly, then set it aside for later use.

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches, ½ cup of granulated sugar, fresh lemon juice, pure vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Stir gently to ensure the peaches are well-coated. Let this mixture sit for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and juices to form.

      Meanwhile, in a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and the remaining ½ cup of granulated sugar until well combined.

        Add the melted and cooled butter, whole milk, and almond extract to the flour mixture. Stir gently until just combined—aim for a thick batter. It’s fine if some lumps remain; avoid overmixing.

          Pour the peach mixture (including any juices) into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.

            Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the batter over the peach mixture. The cobbler topping will not cover the fruit completely, and that's perfectly fine.

              Place the cobbler into the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes. You'll know it’s ready when the biscuit topping turns a beautiful golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

                Once baked, remove the cobbler from the oven. Allow it to cool for approximately 10 minutes before serving to let the juices set.
