Description
This is my grandmother’s Southern homemade peach cobbler recipe, handed down to my mother in Louisiana. It’s made with cinnamon, nutmeg, and buttery morsels of biscuit bits. It tastes great on its own, but even better with vanilla ice cream, a la mode.

- 2 (29 ounce) cans peaches
- ¾ cup white sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

- 1 pinch salt
- 1 (16 ounce) can refrigerated buttermilk biscuit dough (such as Pillsbury Grands!®)
- 1 pinch ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch white sugar
