Ingredients
  

For the Peach Filling
  • 6 cups fresh peaches peeled, pitted, and sliced
  • 1 cup granulated sugar adjust based on sweetness of peaches
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour to thicken the filling
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon for flavor
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice to enhance the peach flavor
For the Biscuit Topping
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour sifted
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder for leavening
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt to balance sweetness
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar for sweetness
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter cold, cut into small pieces
  • 3/4 cup milk whole milk preferred
For Serving
  • 1 pint vanilla ice cream optional, for serving

Method
 

Prepare the Peach Filling
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that the cobbler bakes evenly.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Toss gently to coat the peaches evenly. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow the juices to release.
Make the Biscuit Topping
  1. In another mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
  2. Add the cold butter pieces to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This step is crucial for a flaky biscuit topping.
  3. Pour in the milk and stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Assemble and Bake
  1. Pour the peach filling into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  2. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit topping over the peach filling. It's okay if some of the peaches are exposed; this will create a nice texture.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling.
  4. Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before serving. This allows the filling to set slightly.
Serve
  1. Serve warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast to the warm cobbler.

Notes

For best results, use ripe, juicy peaches. If peaches are out of season, frozen peaches can be used; just thaw and drain excess liquid before using.
