Ingredients for The Best Peach Cobbler
Here are my tips for the main ingredients you’ll need to make this incredible peach cobbler. Find the full list of ingredients with measurements in the printable recipe card below.
- Peaches – look for large, aromatic peaches that aren’t too soft or too hard. I always smell my peaches at the store – the most aromatic ones will be the sweetest! Canned peaches will work in the off season.
- Cinnamon – a touch of cinnamon is a must for this recipe!
- Buttermilk – this soured milk makes the biscuits extra fluffy. Make your own by adding a tablespoon of lemon juice to 1 cup milk.
- White Granulated Sugar
- All-Purpose Flour & Cornstarch – these two ingredients will help thicken the peach juices as the cobbler bakes.
- Vanilla Ice Cream – for serving the cobbler. Peach ice cream will also work great here!

Preparing the Peach Filling
You’ll love how quick and easy this peach cobbler recipe is to make!
- Start by preheating the oven to 375°F. You’ll need a large casserole pan for the recipe.
- Slice each peach in half, then into thin slices, about ¼-inch thick. Place the sliced peaches into the casserole pan.
- Add the lemon juice and vanilla extract, followed by the sugar, cinnamon, flour, cornstarch, and salt. Use a spatula to toss the peaches until they’re well coated in the dry ingredients. You shouldn’t have patches of dry flour.
- Cube the ¼-cup unsalted butter into small pieces, then drop them over the peaches.
Making Easy Buttermilk Biscuits
Once you have the peach filling ready to go, it’s time to make the buttermilk biscuits for our peach cobbler. These are super fluffy!
- Cube the butter into small pieces and place it into the freezer for a few minutes. It needs to be ice cold.
- Place the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into a food processor. Add the chilled butter and pulse until a crumbly mixture forms, about 30 seconds to a minute.
- Don’t have a food processor? Cut the butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or two large forks.
- Add in the buttermilk and vanilla extract last. Pulse for about 30 seconds to a minute, until a thick biscuit batter forms.
- Drop large spoonfuls of the biscuit batter on top of the peaches, evenly spaced over the casserole.
Baking Instructions for Peach Cobbler
Bake the peach cobbler at 375°F for 40 to 45 minutes, until the biscuits are golden-brown, and the peach filling has cooked. After baking for 25 minutes, lay a sheet of foil over the cobbler to prevent the biscuits from getting too dark.
Remove the cobbler from the oven and put onto a wire rack to cool. Allow the cobbler to cool for 30 minutes prior to enjoying. This will allow the filling to thicken further.
Serving Suggestions for Peach Cobbler
Enjoy this incredible peach cobbler while it’s still warm, after about 30 minutes of cooling. Use a spoon to scoop out the peach cobbler into bowls.
Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or peach ice cream to each serving and enjoy immediately. Warm up any leftovers before enjoying again.
