Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the cobbler.
Prepare Peaches: Peel the peaches over the sink to catch juices, then slice and place them in a large bowl. Toss with fresh lemon juice to prevent browning.
Make Peach Filling: In a large saucepan, combine brown sugar and cornstarch. Stir in water and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring almost constantly. Add peaches with any accumulated juices, then bring to a boil until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.
Mix Dry Ingredients for Biscuits: In a mixing bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs; alternatively, pulse in a food processor for best results.
Add Milk and Form Dough: Make a well in the dry mixture and add the milk. Mix with a fork just until a dough forms. Turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead gently about 10 to 12 times.
Roll Dough and Add Swirl Filling: Roll or pat the dough into a 12 by 6 inch rectangle. In a small bowl, combine walnuts, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Brush melted butter over the dough surface, then evenly sprinkle with the nut and sugar mixture.
Roll Up and Slice: Roll the dough from a short end into a log. Using a sharp knife, slice the log into six one-inch pieces.
Assemble Cobbler: If the peach filling has cooled, reheat it. Pour it into a 10-inch cast iron skillet and arrange the biscuit slices evenly on top. Place a baking sheet under the skillet to catch any drips.
Bake Cobbler: Bake for about 25 minutes until the filling is bubbling and biscuits are golden brown. Cover loosely with foil if biscuits brown too quickly towards the end.
Prepare Glaze: While baking, whisk powdered sugar with milk or cream gradually until the glaze reaches a thick drizzling consistency. Add almond or vanilla extract if desired.
Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool slightly after baking, then drizzle with glaze as much or as little as you prefer before serving.

Notes

This peach cobbler with cinnamon swirl biscuits is a standout summer dessert combining juicy peaches with tender, cinnamon-spiced biscuits.
For thicker filling, increase cornstarch to 4 tablespoons.
Use a food processor to quickly incorporate butter into flour for flakier biscuit texture.
Reheat the peach filling if it cools before assembling for best results.
Cover with foil during baking if biscuits brown before the filling is done bubbling.
Glaze thickness can be adjusted with milk or cream to your preferred consistency.
Serve warm for the best flavor and texture experience.
