A comforting peach cobbler featuring a flaky golden crust and warm, cinnamon-spiced peaches. This easy homemade recipe delivers a tender, buttery crust with a juicy, flavorful filling perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5–6 ripe peaches, peeled and sliced (about 4 cups)
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar (adjust based on peach sweetness)
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/4 cup whole milk, cold (or buttermilk/dairy-free milk)
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten (for brushing crust)
  • Coarse sugar or turbinado sugar for sprinkling on top

Instructions

  1. Prep the Peaches (10 minutes): Peel peaches by blanching in boiling water for 30 seconds or using a sharp knife. Slice into 1/2-inch thick wedges. Toss with sugar, flour, cinnamon, almond extract, and lemon juice in a large bowl. Set aside to macerate.
  2. Make the Crust (15 minutes): In a medium bowl, whisk flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in cold cubed butter using a pastry cutter or forks until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits. Stir in cold milk gently until dough just comes together. Wrap in plastic and chill for 10 minutes.
  3. Assemble the Cobbler (10 minutes): Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Pour peach filling into a 9×9-inch baking dish. Roll out chilled dough into a 9×9-inch square on a floured surface. Place dough over peaches, cut slits for steam, brush with beaten egg, and sprinkle coarse sugar on top.
  4. Bake (35-40 minutes): Bake on center rack until crust is golden and flaky and filling bubbles around edges. Cover loosely with foil if crust browns too quickly.
  5. Cool & Serve (15 minutes): Let cobbler cool for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow filling to thicken. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

Use cold butter and milk to ensure a flaky crust. Chill dough before rolling to make handling easier. Macerate peaches to release juices and thicken filling. If crust browns too fast, cover with foil halfway through baking. Let cobbler rest before serving for cleaner slices. Frozen peaches can be used if fresh are unavailable; thaw and drain excess liquid. For gluten-free, substitute flour with gluten-free blend and use dairy-free butter and milk for dairy-free version.
