Ingredients:
For the Peach Filling:
- 6 cups fresh or frozen peaches (peeled and sliced)
- 1 cup granulated sugar (adjust based on sweetness of peaches)
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- Pinch of salt
For the Biscuit Crust:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- ¾ cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Crumble Topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- ½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Peach Filling:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, lemon juice, cinnamon (if using), and a pinch of salt. Stir gently to coat the peaches evenly with the sugar mixture. Amish Peanut Butter Cream Pie
- Pour the peach filling into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish and set aside while you prepare the crusts.
2. Make the Biscuit Crust:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- Add the cold butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your hands to work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the milk and vanilla extract until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
- Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the peach filling, covering as much of the filling as possible. It doesn’t have to be perfect—some peach filling will peek through.
3. Make the Crumble Topping:
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, rolled oats, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until well combined.
- Pour in the melted butter and stir until the mixture becomes crumbly.
- Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the biscuit crust.
4. Bake the Cobbler:
- Bake the cobbler in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until the topping is golden brown, and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges.
- If the topping starts to brown too quickly, cover the cobbler loosely with aluminum foil and continue baking until done.
5. Serve:
- Remove the cobbler from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes before serving. This will help the filling set slightly.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.
