Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg
  • 1 pinch allspice
  • 1 box biscuit mix (prepared per package directions)
  • 1 can peaches (large can, drained, sliced or halved)

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare Sugar Mixture

  • In a bowl, mix together sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice.

Step 2: Prepare Biscuit Mix

  • Follow directions on the biscuit mix box to prepare the dough.

Step 3: Assemble Cobbler

  • Place drained peaches in a baking dish. Sprinkle the spiced sugar mixture over the peaches.

Step 4: Add Biscuit Topping

  • Pat biscuit dough evenly over the top of the peaches.

Step 5: Bake

  • Place in oven and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15–20 minutes, or until golden brown on top.

Step 6: Serve

  • Allow to cool slightly and serve warm, optionally with ice cream or whipped cream.

Tips

  • Use canned peaches in light syrup for a less-sweet cobbler, or heavy syrup for a richer dessert.
  • Add a small amount of lemon zest to the peaches for brightness.
  • Substitute part of the sugar with brown sugar for a deeper caramel flavor.
  • Serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
  • Add chopped pecans or walnuts to the topping for crunch.
  • Increase cinnamon or nutmeg if you prefer stronger warm spice flavor.
  • Drain peaches well to avoid a watery cobbler.
  • Bake in disposable pans for bake sales, as noted on the card.
  • Sprinkle extra cinnamon-sugar on top of the biscuit dough before baking for a crisp top.
