Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Mix the peach filling by combining sliced peaches, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and fine salt in a large bowl.
  3. Transfer the peach mixture into a baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  4. Whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in another bowl.
  5. Cut in the cold unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Stir in the cold buttermilk just until combined.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the peach mixture in the baking dish.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-60 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling.
  9. Melt 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat to create the caramel sauce.
  10. Add the light brown sugar, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the melted butter.
  11. Serve the cobbler warm, drizzling the homemade caramel sauce on top and sprinkling turbinado sugar for a lovely crunch.
