Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish.Make the peach filling:

In another bowl, whisk together flour, ¼ cup white sugar, ¼ cup brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in chilled butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the boiling water just until combined—do not overmix.Assemble the cobbler:
Carefully remove the peaches from the oven. Drop spoonfuls of the topping evenly over the hot fruit (it’s okay if some peach filling peeks through).Add cinnamon sugar:
Mix the 3 tablespoons sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle over the top of the dough.Bake:
Return to the oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling.Cool & Serve:
Allow to cool slightly before serving. Best enjoyed warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
- Pro Tip
Use ripe but firm peaches for the best texture and flavor. If your peaches are very juicy, add an extra ½ teaspoon of cornstarch to prevent the filling from becoming too runny. And for extra depth, toss the peaches with a splash of bourbon before baking—just a tablespoon goes a long way!
