Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, toss 4 cups sliced fresh peaches with 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, and 1 tbsp lemon juice until evenly coated; set aside to macerate.
2. Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 tsp baking powder, and 1/4 tsp salt. Cut in 6 tbsp cold, diced unsalted butter with a pastry cutter or fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Step 3: Stir 3/4 cup milk into the flour mixture until just combined; do not overmix. Fold in 1/2 cup chopped pecans gently to distribute evenly.
4. Step 4: Pour the peach mixture into a 9-inch baking dish, spreading evenly. Drop the biscuit batter by spoonfuls on top of the peaches, covering most of the surface.
5. Step 5: Bake for 35-40 minutes until the biscuit topping is golden brown and peach juices are bubbling.
6. Step 6: While baking, combine 1/4 cup brown sugar and 2 tbsp heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until sugar dissolves and mixture thickens slightly, about 3 minutes.
7. Step 7: Remove cobbler from oven, drizzle the warm brown sugar glaze over the top, and serve warm.
