A juicy cinnamon sugar peach filling topped with a buttery biscuit crust baked to perfection.

Ingredients

Peach Filling
  • 1 medium yellow peach, sliced (130-150g)
  • 1 Tbsp (12g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp cornstarch
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp salt
Biscuit Topping
  • 1/2 cup (80g) all purpose flour
  • 1 Tbsp (12g) granulated sugar
  • 3/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 2 Tbsp (28g) butter, cold
  • 3 Tbsp (45mL) whole milk
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 Tbsp Demerara (coarse) sugar
  • Optional: egg wash biscuit topping

Instructions

Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Set aside a 10 ounce ramekin.
  2. Peel the peach and cut it into bite sized pieces.
  3. In a small saucepan, combine the peach, sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cornstarch, cinnamon, and salt. Cook over medium low heat for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peaches begin to soften. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  4. To prepare the biscuit topping, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl.
  5. Add the cold butter and work it into the dry ingredients with your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Add the milk and vanilla extract, stirring until a soft dough forms.
  7. Transfer the peach filling to the prepared ramekin. Using a cookie scoop, portion the biscuit dough evenly over the filling.
  8. Optional: For a golden brown finish, whisk one egg in a small bowl. Lightly brush the egg wash over the biscuit topping. Sprinkle the top with coarse sugar.
  9. Bake for 28–30 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling.
  10. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!

Notes

For the best results, I recommend weighing your ingredients using a kitchen scale. Measuring by weight is more accurate than using cups and spoons, which helps ensure consistent results every time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use canned peaches?

Yes! Drain the canned peaches before using. Canned peaches are typically softer than fresh peaches, so your filling may have a slightly different texture. You can also skip the stovetop step! Toss the peaches with sugar and spices and add them straight into the ramekin.

Do I need to peel the peaches?

Not always. I’ve made this recipe with and without peeling. It’s great every time. If you prefer to keep the skins, you can leave them on!

What size ramekin should I use?

This recipe is designed for a 10 oz ramekin, however you can use a 12 oz as well. Choose one with enough room for the peach filling and biscuit topping without filling it all the way to the rim, as it tends to bubble up in the oven and can spill over in a smaller ramekin.

How do I know when the peach cobbler is done?

The biscuit topping should be golden and cooked through, and the peach filling should be bubbling around the edges. If the topping browns too quickly, loosely cover it with foil while the filling finishes cooking.

Can I make this peach cobbler ahead of time?

It’s best enjoyed fresh from the oven, when the biscuit topping is at its most tender. You can prepare the peaches ahead of time and make the biscuit topping just before baking.
