Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°.
Make the biscuit topping-combine all dry ingredients.
Mix in the butter, creams, egg until fully combined. Set aside.
Make the cobbler syrup- in a cast iron skillet mix the sugar, salt, water, coconut flour, xanthan gum. Stir until syrup begins to simmer and cook for 3-5 minutes until it is thickened.
Add peaches, spices and vanilla. Stir until peaches are fully coated with the syrup, about 2-3 minutes.
Drop 2 TB of dough onto peach mixture in cast iron skillet. You should get about 8 biscuits.
Bake for 20-25 minutes.
Test with toothpick or wooden skewer to make sure biscuits are cooked all the way through. You can lightly cover with foil and cook a few minutes longer if needed.

Notes

*To peel or not to peel...I have made this cobbler with the skin on and also peeled. I prefer without, hubby likes the skin.

**The cobbler also is best when the peaches are not too ripe. You don't want them to get mushy in the oven. I believe peaches are ripe when you can just about smell their lovely fragrance. You shouldn't be able to leave an indentation on them when you press down on the skin.

*** Keto Peach Cobbler will keep in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.

****This cobbler dessert is a bit higher in carbs for some who are following a strict keto diet. In order to lower the carb count, I would make the serving size a bit smaller. Peaches are one of the fruits that are lower in carbs, but they still have sugar in them. My thoughts are that this is an occasional treat that I would adjust my macros for the day. It is worth it!
