Butter Biscuit Peach Cobbler Recipe
Peach Biscuit Cobbler
Ingredients:
- 2 (29 ounce) cans peaches
- cup white sugar
- cup brown sugar
- cup unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 (16 ounce) can refrigerated buttermilk biscuit dough (such as Pillsbury Grands!)
- 1 pinch ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch white sugar
- 1 pinch ground nutmeg
- 1 pastry for a 9-inch pie crust
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350F (175C).
- In a large pot, combine the peaches, cup white sugar, brown sugar, butter, cornstarch, vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, teaspoon nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugars dissolve and the butter melts, about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the biscuits. Sprinkle each biscuit with a pinch of cinnamon, white sugar, and nutmeg. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the biscuits with a rolling pin. Cut each flattened biscuit into 12 to 15 small squares.
- Stir the cut biscuit squares into the peach mixture. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes, until the mixture thickens.
- Transfer the peach-biscuit mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish and allow it to thicken for 2-3 minutes. Optionally, cover or decorate with the pie crust.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and place it on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the crust is golden brown.
- Let the cobbler cool before serving.
Recipe Tip: You can line the baking pan with pie crust before adding the peach filling, but if you do so, use fewer biscuits in the recipe to avoid too much dough in the final dessert.

If I could give this a negative rating of 5, I definitely would. I am completely baffled by how this could be considered even remotely acceptable by bakers. First of all, the top crust that I spent so much time making from scratch turned out to be completely unnecessary and ended up pale and undercooked because of the instructions to cover it with aluminum foil. I had to uncover it and bake it for an additional 20 minutes just to get it crispy. Furthermore, it looked bland and unappetizing because there was no egg white or milk wash to enhance its appearance. Ultimately, I decided to remove the entire top crust and not use it at all. What remained was a mixture of spiced, canned peaches and soggy dough clumps, which was quite unappetizing. If it were up to me, I would have taken the spiced peaches, placed them in a round casserole dish, and topped them with a butter, oat, and walnut mixture to create a true peach cobbler.

This is by far the best and simplest peach cobbler I've ever had. Thank you for sharing the recipe. I've made it countless times during the COVID-19 lockdown and ended up gaining 11 pounds, but I have no regrets. As a diabetic, I substituted the sugar with Stevia and used unsweetened peaches, and it still turned out amazingly delicious.

Rewritten review: I was extremely eager to try this recipe. I have always shied away from making cobblers due to the crust/dough part, so I usually opt for crisps instead. Unfortunately, the dough in this particular recipe fell short for me. The biscuit dough mixed in with the filling ended up tasting more like plain dough than actual biscuits. Even the pie dough squares I used for decoration on top turned out looking and tasting doughy. In the future, I plan to bake the biscuit squares separately and add them on top of the hot filling. I'm perplexed by how others achieved satisfying results with this recipe. Despite the disappointment with the dough, I did enjoy the filling, and I found the stove-top preparation technique to be a useful alternative.

The taste was wonderful, but the texture was a bit too doughy for my liking. Next time, I will use fewer biscuits. Additionally, to achieve a nicely browned top crust, I baked it covered with foil for 45 minutes, and then uncovered for an additional 15-20 minutes.
