Easy Peach Cobbler (Print-Friendly Version)

Fresh peaches nestled under a buttery, golden topping - the perfect summer dessert that's simple to prepare and absolutely delicious.

# Ingredients:

→ For the peaches

01 - 8 to 9 ripe peaches, pitted and thinly sliced into half-moon shapes (about ¼ inch thick)
02 - 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
03 - 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
04 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
05 - Pinch of salt

→ For the cobbler topping

06 - 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
07 - 1/3 cup granulated sugar
08 - 1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
09 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
10 - 7 tablespoons butter, cold and cut into pieces
11 - 2/3 cup buttermilk
12 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

# Steps:

01 - Preheat the oven to 375°F and generously butter a medium-sized baking dish (11 x 7 inch oval, 9 x 9 inch square, or 10 inch skillet options work well).
02 - Place the sliced peaches in the prepared baking dish. Add brown sugar, all-purpose flour, and vanilla extract. Use your hands or a wooden spoon to toss until the peaches are evenly coated. Spread them out in an even layer.
03 - In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Use a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the dry ingredients, leaving small chunks intact for texture.
04 - Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the buttermilk and vanilla extract. Mix until a wet dough forms. The dough will be sticky but will thicken as it rests.
05 - Use two spoons to drop the biscuit dough in clumps over the peaches. Sprinkle granulated sugar over the top to create a golden, crunchy finish when baked.
06 - Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the peaches are bubbling and the cobbler topping is golden brown.
07 - Allow the cobbler to cool for 10 minutes before serving warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

# Notes & Tips:

01 - For a crispier topping, sprinkle additional granulated sugar evenly over the biscuit dough before baking.
