This simple, traditional Summer Peach Cobbler Recipe combines delicious peaches and an easy biscuit topping for the perfect summer dessert. Super Simple Summer Peach Cobbler

Summer fruit desserts are my absolute favorites. I tend toward berry-based recipes because they’re so simple to make — very little cutting, pitting or peeling involved. But when peaches are at their sweetest and juiciest, it really is a crime to leave them out. They’re lovely in pies and crisps and pudding and grilled and topped with ice cream. But really, there is no better home for peaches than tucked inside a traditional peach cobbler. And its easy to make too.

This version is about as simple as it gets. Peaches peeled, pitted and tossed with some sugar and flour and topped with homemade biscuits. Bake it up and serve it with heavy cream or ice cream for the most perfect summer dessert ever.

Description

This simple, traditional Summer Peach Cobbler Recipe combines delicious peaches and an easy biscuit topping for the perfect summer dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds ripe peaches
  • 1 tablespoon + 2 teaspoons sugar, divided
  • 3/4 cups + 1 tablespoon flour, divided
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3 tablespoons cold butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1/3 cup half and half
  • 1 tablespoon raw or demerera sugar (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Heat two cups of water in a medium saucepan until boiling.
  2. Dip peaches in boiling water for 10 to 15 seconds, drain on paper towels and carefully slip off the peach skins. Cut the peaces in half and remove the pits. Cut the peaches into 1/4 inch slices.
  3. Place pieces in a medium bowl and toss with 1 tablespoon of sugar and 1 tablespoon of flour. Pour fruit into a 1 quart ceramic baking dish and set aside.
  4. In another bowl, combine 3/4 cup flour, salt, 2 teaspoons sugar and baking powder. Cut the butter into the flour with your fingers until pieces are the size of peas.
  5. Remove 1 tablespoon of the half & half and set aside. Add remaining cream to the flour mixture and mix with a fork just until a lose dough starts to form.
  6. Pour dough mixture on top of fruit in baking dish. Brush biscuit topping with reserved cream and sprinkle with raw or Demerara sugar (if using).
