Ingredients

Scale
  • 5–6 ripe peaches, peeled and sliced (about 4 cups)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or almond flour/gluten-free blend for gluten-free)
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (1 stick), browned and cooled slightly
  • ⅓ cup buttermilk (or plain yogurt as substitute)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup granulated sugar (for caramel)
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (for caramel)
  • ⅓ cup heavy cream, warmed (for caramel)
  • ½ teaspoon flaky sea salt or kosher salt (for caramel)

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice the peaches into roughly ½-inch thick slices. Toss with granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl. Let sit for 10 minutes.
  2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir frequently until it foams and browns with a nutty aroma (5–7 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a cast iron skillet or 8×8-inch baking dish.
  4. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add browned butter, buttermilk, and vanilla extract. Stir gently until just combined.
  5. Pour peach mixture into prepared dish. Dollop spoonfuls of biscuit topping over peaches.
  6. Bake for 35–40 minutes until topping is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean. Filling should be bubbling.
  7. While baking, make salted caramel: Combine sugar and 2 tablespoons water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Let sugar dissolve and turn deep amber (8–10 minutes) without stirring. Remove from heat, whisk in butter until melted. Slowly whisk in warmed heavy cream carefully. Stir in sea salt. Set aside to cool slightly.
  8. Let cobbler cool for 10 minutes after baking. Drizzle salted caramel over warm cobbler before serving. Optionally serve with vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Use a light-colored pan to brown butter to avoid burning. Let peaches rest to release juices and soften. Do not overmix biscuit topping to keep it tender. Make caramel while cobbler bakes for best timing. For gluten-free, substitute flour with almond or gluten-free blend. For dairy-free, use coconut oil and plant-based milk alternatives.
