Peach Butter Swim Biscuits 🍑🧈✨


For the Biscuits:

  • 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (or homemade biscuit dough if you’re feeling ambitious)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup diced fresh or canned peaches (drained if canned)

For the Peach Butter Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional, for warmth)
  • 1 cup diced fresh or canned peaches (drained if canned)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat and Prep

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or round cake pan.

2. Make the Peach Butter Bath

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg (if using).
  2. Stir in the diced peaches until evenly coated.
  3. Pour the peach butter mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

3. Prepare the Biscuits

  1. Separate the biscuit dough into individual rounds. Cut each biscuit into quarters (or smaller pieces if desired).
  2. In a separate bowl, mix together the melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
  3. Toss the biscuit pieces in the butter mixture until evenly coated.

4. Assemble the Dish

  1. Arrange the coated biscuit pieces over the peach butter mixture in the baking dish, distributing them evenly.
  2. Sprinkle any remaining butter mixture from the bowl over the top of the biscuits.

5. Bake to Golden Perfection

  1. Bake the swim biscuits for 30–35 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the peach butter sauce is bubbly.
  2. If the top starts browning too quickly, loosely cover the dish with foil during the last 10 minutes of baking.

6. Serve & Enjoy

  1. Let the dish cool slightly before serving.
  2. Spoon portions of the biscuits and peach butter sauce onto plates.
  3. Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent touch.

Tips for Success

  • Use Fresh Peaches for Peak Flavor: If peaches are in season, fresh ones will add the best natural sweetness. Otherwise, canned peaches work beautifully.
  • Adjust Sweetness: If your peaches are particularly sweet, reduce the sugar slightly to balance the flavors.
  • Make It Ahead: Assemble the dish the night before, cover, and refrigerate. Bake in the morning for a stress-free brunch.
  • Add a Kick: Stir in a pinch of cayenne pepper or a splash of bourbon to the peach butter sauce for a sophisticated twist.
  • Double the Recipe: This dish is perfect for feeding a crowd—double the ingredients and use a larger baking dish.
