  • SERVES
    6 people
  • PREP TIME
    20 minutes
  • Cook TIME
    40 minutes
Ingredients
  • 6 ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste (or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon additional cinnamon for sprinkling on top
Directions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, lemon juice, vanilla bean paste, cinnamon, and salt. Toss until the peaches are well-coated, then pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and the remaining cinnamon.
  4. Stir in the melted butter and milk until just combined; the batter will be lumpy, which is fine.
  5. Spoon the biscuit batter over the peaches in dollops, ensuring some of the fruit is still visible.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the biscuit topping comes out clean.
  7. Let cool for a few minutes before serving. This cobbler is best enjoyed warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
