A comforting and easy bourbon peach cobbler topped with quick vanilla bean biscuits, perfect for last-minute guests or cozy nights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 to 6 medium fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (or frozen peaches, thawed and drained)
  • 2 tablespoons bourbon
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for peach filling)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt (for peach filling)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (can substitute half with whole wheat or gluten-free blend)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for biscuit dough)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (for biscuit dough)
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 3/4 cup whole milk or buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or seeds (or pure vanilla extract)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, lemon juice, bourbon, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Toss gently to coat. Sprinkle cornstarch over mixture and stir until slightly thickened. Set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add cold cubed butter and cut into flour mixture using a pastry cutter or fork until coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces form.
  4. Stir in milk and vanilla bean paste until just combined; dough will be slightly sticky. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour peach filling into prepared baking dish, spreading evenly. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough over peaches in rough patches, allowing some peaches to peek through.
  6. Bake for 35-40 minutes until biscuit topping is golden brown and peach filling is bubbly.
  7. Let cobbler cool for 10 minutes before serving to allow filling to set.

Notes

Keep butter cold when making biscuit dough for flaky texture. Do not overmix biscuit dough to avoid toughness. Tent with foil if biscuit tops brown too quickly. Let cobbler rest 10 minutes before serving. Can substitute bourbon with apple cider or peach juice for non-alcoholic version. Frozen peaches should be thawed and drained to avoid watery filling.
