A comforting peach cobbler featuring juicy peaches simmered in a honey bourbon syrup, topped with a tender, caramelized brown sugar biscuit crust. Perfect for summer and fall gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 3 pounds)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 3 tablespoons bourbon
  • ½ cup packed dark brown sugar (100 g)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour (190 g)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup packed brown sugar (50 g)
  • 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed (85 g)
  • ¾ cup cold whole milk (180 ml)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, toss the sliced peaches with honey, bourbon, brown sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, salt, and cornstarch. Mix gently until all slices are coated evenly. Set aside for 10 minutes to macerate.
  3. Transfer the peach mixture to your greased 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and brown sugar.
  5. Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces remaining.
  6. Mix in the cold milk and vanilla extract just until combined. The dough should be sticky but not runny.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the peach filling, spacing them evenly but not covering every inch.
  8. Bake uncovered for 35–40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly.
  9. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Keep butter and milk cold for tender, flaky biscuits. If topping browns too fast, tent with foil after 25 minutes. Lemon juice balances sweetness and brightens flavor. Frozen peaches can be used if thawed and drained. Bourbon is optional and can be substituted with vanilla extract.
