Description

Indulge in the taste of summer with this irresistible Southern Peach Cobbler. Juicy peaches, warm spices, and a tender biscuit topping make this dessert a true crowd-pleaser.


Ingredients

Scale

Filling:

  • 2 bags Frozen peaches (20 ounces each)
  • 1 cup Granulated sugar (white sugar)
  • 1 cup Brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon Almond extract (optional but recommended)
  • 1/2 tablespoon Cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon Nutmeg
  • 2 teaspoons Corn starch
  • 1 teaspoon Cream of tartar
  • 1/2 stick Butter (unsalted, room temperature)
  • 2 tablespoons Water
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh lemon juice

Topping:

  • 2 cups All-purpose Flour
  • 1/2 cup Granulated sugar (white sugar)
  • 1/2 cup Brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon Cinnamon (reserve 1/2 for garnishment)
  • 1 stick Butter (unsalted, cold)
  • 1/4 cup Boiling hot water
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar (to dust top of cobbler)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Spray a 9×13 baking dish with non-stick spray. In the same dish, add the frozen peaches, white and brown sugars, vanilla and almond extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, corn starch, cream of tartar, butter, water, and lemon juice.

  3. Mix the peaches together with the ingredients until everything is fully combined. Cover the dish with foil and cook the mixture in the oven for 20 minutes.
  4. While peaches are cooking, combine the all-purpose flour, both white and brown sugars, baking powder, salt, and 1/2 tablespoon of the cinnamon.
  5. Work the cold stick of butter into the flour mixture by breaking it up with a pastry cutter or with your hands. Work it in until it looks like coarse meal or crumbles.

  6. Add the hot water and stir together with a spoon until it’s just combined. The cobbler should have a drop biscuit-like texture.
  7. Remove the peaches from the oven and spoon cobbler dough mixture over the peaches. Make each dough droplet about the size of a golf ball leaving a tiny bit of space between each one to ensure they cook through.
  8. Peaches will not be fully covered. Combine sugar and remaining 1/2 tablespoon cinnamon and sprinkle the mixture over dough.
  9. Place the dish back in the oven uncovered and cook for an additional 30-45 minutes, until crust is golden brown. Check on it after 30 minutes for doneness and remove it once the cobbler crust is golden brown and delicious. Enjoy!

Notes

  • For the boiling hot water, simply microwave water until very hot or bring to a boil on the stovetop.
  • Ensure the cobbler dough is not overmixed to maintain its texture.
  • Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful treat.
