📝 Ingredients (U.S. Standard Measurements)
For the fruit filling:
- 4 cups fresh or frozen peaches, sliced
- 1½ cups fresh raspberries
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
For the biscuit topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed
- ⅓ cup buttermilk (or regular milk with a squeeze of lemon juice)
👨🍳 Instructions
- Prepare the fruit filling: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl, toss the sliced peaches, raspberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and salt together. Transfer the mixture to a greased 9-inch baking dish and set aside.
- Make the biscuit topping: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Add the cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add the buttermilk: Pour in the buttermilk and stir until just combined. The dough will be slightly sticky.
- Assemble the cobbler: Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly over the fruit filling, leaving some gaps for the filling to peek through.
- Bake: Place the cobbler in the oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling around the edges. If the biscuit topping is browning too quickly, cover the dish loosely with foil.
- Cool & Serve: Let the cobbler cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Top with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.

💡 Tips & Tricks
- Use fresh or frozen fruit: Both fresh and frozen peaches work well, though fresh peaches will give you a slightly firmer texture. Frozen raspberries work perfectly without needing to thaw them first.
- Spice it up: Add a pinch of ground ginger or nutmeg to the biscuit topping for an extra layer of flavor.
- Make it ahead: Assemble the cobbler ahead of time and refrigerate the fruit mixture and biscuit dough separately. Bake the cobbler when you’re ready to serve.
- Change up the fruits: You can swap the peaches for nectarines, or try a mixed berry combination with strawberries and blueberries.
- Dairy-free option: Use a non-dairy milk (such as almond or oat milk) and dairy-free butter to make this dessert dairy-free.
🍽 From Me to You: My Extra Touch ✨
For a fun twist, try adding a handful of chopped nuts (like almonds or pecans) into the biscuit dough before baking. It adds a delicious crunch and a nutty flavor that complements the fruit beautifully.
Additionally, a drizzle of honey over the warm cobbler just before serving brings out the natural sweetness of the fruit.
