Easy Peach Cobbler Recipe with Biscuit Top
Spiced juicy peaches topped with a sweet biscuit topping. Peaches are the star here. The topping will not cover all the peaches. Instead it floats on top, between the peaches and their thickened juices. If you prefer the top to be completely covered, simply double the topping recipe below. We do take the time to peel the peaches for this — we prefer it this way. If you're short on time, skip it. The cobbler will still taste great.
