Triple Crust Peach Cobbler


  • Author: WAFA LI

Ingredients

Scale

For the peach filling:

  • 6 cups fresh or frozen sliced peaches (thawed if frozen)
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch (or 3 tbsp if using very juicy peaches)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of nutmeg (optional)

For the triple biscuit crust:

  • 2½ cups (315g) all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup (1½ sticks / 170g) cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 cup whole milk (or buttermilk for extra tenderness)

For topping:

  • 1 tbsp coarse sugar (for sprinkling)
  • Optional: 1 egg + 1 tbsp water (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Prep: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13″ baking dish.
  2. Make filling: In a large bowl, toss peaches with sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Pour into baking dish.
  3. Make biscuit dough: In a bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in milk until just combined (do not overmix).
  4. Layer crust:
    • Bottom layer: Drop ⅓ of dough in spoonfuls over peaches.
    • Middle layer: After 15 minutes of baking, add another ⅓.
    • Top layer: After 30 minutes, add final ⅓.
      Alternatively, for easier assembly: divide dough into 3 portions. Layer first ⅓ directly on peaches, then bake 15 min; add second layer, bake 15 min; add final layer, bake 20–25 min more.
  5. Finish: For shine, brush top with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
  6. Bake total 50–60 minutes, until crust is deep golden and filling bubbles at edges.
  7. Cool 15–20 minutes before serving (filling will thicken as it cools).
💡 Pro Tips:
– Use ripe but firm peaches—overripe ones can make filling too runny.
– For extra flavor, add ½ tsp almond extract to the filling.
– Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream!
