Ingredients for Peach Cobbler with Cream Cheese Biscuit Topping

For the Peach Filling:

6 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 6-7 medium peaches)
¾ cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoon cornstarch

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

⅛ teaspoon salt

For the Cream Cheese Biscuit Topping:

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
4 oz cream cheese, cold and cubed

½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
½ cup whole milk, cold
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon coarse sugar, for sprinkling (optional)

Directions: How to Make Peach Cobbler with Cream Cheese Biscuit Topping

Step 1: Prep the Peaches

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a large bowl, combine peaches, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Toss until peaches are evenly coated.

Pour the peach mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread in an even layer.

Step 2: Make the Cream Cheese Biscuit Topping

In another large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add cubed cream cheese and butter. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to cut them into the flour until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.

Pour in the cold milk and vanilla extract. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.

Step 3: Assemble and Bake the Cobbler

Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit batter over the peaches, covering most of the surface. It's okay if some peaches peek through.
Sprinkle coarse sugar over the biscuits if desired.

Bake for 37-42 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly and thick.
Let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. Serve warm.
