Print Recipe

A comforting bourbon peach cobbler featuring juicy cinnamon-spiced peaches topped with rich, nutty brown butter biscuits. This easy recipe combines simple ingredients for a soulful dessert perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups fresh ripe peaches, sliced (or frozen, thawed and drained)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3 tablespoons bourbon (e.g., Jim Beam)
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (King Arthur Flour preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, browned and cooled slightly
  • 3/4 cup whole milk (can substitute almond milk for dairy-free)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peach Filling: In a large bowl, toss sliced peaches with granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Let sit for 5 minutes to macerate and release juices.
  2. Mix in Bourbon and Thicken: Stir in bourbon, then sprinkle cornstarch evenly over the peach mixture. Toss gently to combine.
  3. Brown the Butter: In a small skillet or saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and cook, swirling often, until it foams and turns a deep golden brown with a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. Make the Biscuit Dough: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Pour in browned butter, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir gently with a wooden spoon until just combined; dough will be sticky.
  5. Assemble the Cobbler: Pour peach filling into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading evenly. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough over peaches, spacing out but not worrying about perfect coverage.
  6. Bake: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake cobbler for 30-35 minutes until biscuit topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean; peach filling should be bubbly and thickened.
  7. Cool and Serve: Let cobbler cool for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow juices to thicken.

Notes

If biscuit topping browns too fast, tent loosely with foil halfway through baking. For extra crunch, sprinkle raw sugar over biscuits before baking. Brown butter carefully on medium heat with constant swirling to avoid burning. Dough should be sticky; avoid overmixing to keep biscuits tender. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days; reheat in oven at 325°F for 15 minutes to maintain crispness. Can substitute almond or oat milk for dairy-free and gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free version.
