Ingredients
  

For the peach filling:

  • 6 cups fresh peaches peeled, pitted, and sliced
  • ⅔ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup all purpose flour sifted to remove clumps
  • ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg optional
  • 1 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tsp grated lemon zest
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Drop Biscuit Topping:

  • 1 ½ cups all purpose flour sifted to remove any clumps
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup milk
  • ¼ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Prepare the Peach Cobbler Filling:

  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease the inside of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • Add the sliced peaches, sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg (optional), lemon juice, grated lemon zest, and vanilla extract to a large mixing bowl. Stir to coat the peaches evenly. Pour the peach mixture into the baking dish.

Prepare the Biscuit Topping:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt to make the biscuit topping. Cut cold butter into the mixture using a pastry cutter or a fork until the flour mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Stir in the milk and vanilla extract until the topping is just combined; the dough will be slightly lumpy.
  • Drop the spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the peach filling, covering most of the surface with dough.

Bake and Serve:

  • Bake the peach cobbler in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly. Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving. Serve peach cobbler with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or with a dollop of whipped cream.
