Say hello to sunshine, good-times, and Southern Peach Cobbler! Just imagine warm, gooey cinnamon peaches, a crusty crust, and a big scoop of vanilla ice cream and that's summertime in the South. But you know what? You don't have to be below the Mason-Dixon Line to enjoy this one!
What You'll Need
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup water
- 8 cups peeled fresh peach slices (8 to 9 peaches)
- BISCUIT TOPPING
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup vegetable shortening
- 1 egg, slightly beaten
- 1/4 cup milk
What to Do
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a 2-quart baking dish with cooking spray.
- In a large saucepan, combine 1 cup sugar, the cornstarch, and cinnamon. Add water; stir to combine. Add peach slices and cook on medium-high heat until mixture comes to a boil, stirring occasionally. Simmer 1 minute, stirring constantly. Pour peach mixture into baking dish.
- For Biscuit Topping, combine flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, the baking powder, and salt. Using a fork or pastry cutter, cut in shortening until coarse crumbs form. Combine egg and milk, and pour into flour mixture; stir just until moistened.
- Drop biscuit mixture in 7 to 8 mounds on top of peaches.
- Bake 30 to 35 minutes, or until golden and bubbly. Serve warm.
Notes
You can subsitute frozen peaches for the fresh. Just use 2 (16-ounce) bags of frozen peach slices.

I know Fresh Peaches would be Great and Froze Peaches a little less, but would Can Peaches work instead of the peach mixture?

Hello! Canned Peaches will work for this recipe, but we suggest that you cut down on the sugar when making the mixture. Hope this helps. :)

Hello! Are you asking if this recipe allows you to use can biscuits? While we haven't tested the recipe using can biscuits, we definitely think it could work! Just be aware of the cooking time for your biscuits. You may have to cook the cobbler for 10 minutes, then add the biscuits. It all depends on the cooking time for the biscuits you use! - Hope this was helpful. Enjoy!
