Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease a medium 10-inch skillet or standard baking dish with vegan butter.

MAKE THE BISCUITS:

In a large bowl, add together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, both sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt, whisking everything until combined.
Add in the COLD butter and using a pastry blender (or two forks), blend in the butter into the dry ingredients until everything looks 'peas-like'.
Add the 'buttermilk' and stir everything together using a rubber spatula until just combined and wet enough. NOTE: DON'T OVER-MIX!

MAKE THE PEACH FILLING + ASSEMBLY:

In a large bowl, toss together the sliced peaches, maple syrup, brown sugar, arrowroot, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and vanilla, mixing until combined and peaches are fully coated. Place the peaches mixture into the prepared skillet, evenly spreading everything out. Add pieces of COLD vegan butter in between peaches, tucking them in slightly.
Using a spoon (or large ice cream scoop), scoop 2 Tbsps of biscuit dough at a time and place them unto peaches, about 1-inch apart. You may flatten then with your hands a bit by pressing them down as you go.
Lightly brush biscuits with a bit of vegan wash and bake for 35-40 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown and peaches filling is bubbling through. NOTE: Your filling should be 'thickened' and not watery.
Remove the cobbler from the oven and serve immediately with a scoop of your favorite dairy-free ice cream or CocoWhip!
Bon Appetit!

Notes

STORAGE: Like many dishes, you can store any leftovers in a tightly covered container or glass dish and refrigerated for 2-3 days.
GLUTEN-FREE OPTION (BISCUITS): To make biscuits GF, simply substitute All-purpose flour for 1 ½ cups of Almond or Coconut flour and ½ cup of Oat flour OR GF 1:1 Baking flour (Best option). Bob's Red Mill has great options in these types of flour. Follow the remainder of the recipe.
USING FROZEN OR CANNED PEACHES: When using frozen or canned peaches instead of fresh ones, always toss them 1-2 Tbsps of flour before adding them to the recipe or other ingredients.
STACRH/THICKENER: If you don't have or don't want to use Arrowroot starch, you can always use Tapioca Flour, regular Cornstarch, or flour instead. Either substitution will help to thicken the mixture just fine.
SLICED PEACHES: In this recipe, I enjoy leaving the skin on after rinsing my peaches thoroughly, however, you can always free to peeled before slicing.
BISCUIT TOPPING: If you'd like to make your biscuit topping 'thinner' and not with thick biscuits, simply reduce the topping ingredients to half the amount.
