Ingredients
For the Peach Filling:
- 5 pounds fresh peaches – About 14 medium peaches, peeled and sliced into ½-inch wedges. Can substitute with drained canned peaches or thawed frozen peaches.
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar – Adjust to taste based on the sweetness of your peaches.
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour – Helps thicken the peach juices as they bake.
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon – Adds warmth and depth to the flavor.
- ¼ teaspoon cardamom or nutmeg – Optional, but adds a subtle spice that complements the peaches beautifully.
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt – Enhances the overall flavor of the filling.
For the Cobbler Topping:
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour – Spoon and level the flour for accurate measurement.
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar – Sweetens the topping, creating a crisp golden crust.
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt – Balances the sweetness.
- 1 teaspoon baking powder – Helps the topping rise and become light and fluffy.
- ½ cup buttermilk – Adds moisture and tenderness. If you don’t have buttermilk, mix ½ cup milk with 1 ½ teaspoons lemon juice or vinegar.
- 1 egg – Helps bind the ingredients together.
- ½ cup cold butter – Cut into small cubes for a flakier, richer topping.
- 2 tablespoons sugar – A mix of granulated and raw sugar adds crunch to the top.

Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Peaches
If using fresh peaches, peel them with a vegetable peeler if they’re firm. If they’re very ripe, blanch them: boil for 30-45 seconds, then transfer to an ice bath and peel once cool. Slice into ½-inch wedges and place them in a 9×13-inch ungreased casserole dish.
Step 2: Sweeten the Peaches
Sprinkle 1 ½ cups sugar, ⅓ cup flour, ¼ teaspoon cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon cardamom (or nutmeg), and ¼ teaspoon kosher salt over the peaches. Gently toss to coat, being careful not to break the peaches. Set aside.
Step 3: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) while preparing the topping.
Step 4: Make the Cobbler Topping
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups flour, 1 ½ cups sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon baking powder. In a separate small bowl, whisk 1 egg with ½ cup buttermilk, then pour into the dry ingredients.
Step 5: Cut in the Butter
Using a pastry cutter or two forks, cut ½ cup cold butter into the flour mixture until it forms a shaggy dough. Do not overmix; a few dry spots are fine.
Step 6: Assemble the Cobbler
Evenly spread the topping over the peach filling, breaking it up into clumps rather than smoothing it down. Scatter 2 tablespoons sugar over the top for extra crunch.
Step 7: Bake the Cobbler
Bake for 45-55 minutes at 375°F, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges.
Step 8: Broil for a Crispy Top (Optional)
For extra crunch, turn the broiler on for 1-3 minutes, watching carefully so it doesn’t burn.
Step 9: Let It Rest & Serve
Let the cobbler sit for 15 minutes to allow the juices to thicken slightly. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
FAQs
Can I use canned or frozen peaches instead of fresh?
Yes! If using canned peaches, drain them well before adding them to the dish. If using frozen peaches, thaw them completely and drain excess liquid to prevent a watery cobbler.
How do I store and reheat leftovers?
Store covered at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days. To reheat, warm in a 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes to maintain the crisp topping. For longer storage, freeze for up to 3 months, then thaw and reheat.
