This easy peach cobbler recipe is one we’ve made since we were little girls and is so delicious that we are all obsessed.
We love it for so many reasons but especially love that it’s simple and prepped in just 5 minutes. It’s also made with a handful of pantry staple ingredients (including a can of peaches to make it extra easy). It’s as easy as our cake mix peach cobbler, but a little more “homemade”.
Because this cobbler is so buttery, easy and delicious, it’s become a go-to for so many family functions, BBQs and holiday gatherings. It’s the perfect dessert!
Why you’ll love it + Why it works:
- Pantry staples. It’s made with pantry staples, which makes it a go-to! Just add a can of peaches.
- Easy to double. Just make it in a bigger pan – perfect for serving a crowd (or for seconds).
- Butter + batter bakes into a crust. Pouring batter over melted butter creates the classic golden cobbler topping.
- Peaches stay on top, then sink slightly. Not stirring keeps the cobbler layers forming properly while baking.
Easy Peach Cobbler Ingredients
- Sliced peaches (1 (15-ounce) can, the whole can): Fruit and syrup create juicy pockets and sweet sauce as the cobbler bakes. Use the whole can and do not drain.
- Butter (½ cup): Melts in the pan to brown slightly, giving crisp, buttery edges and helping the crust rise around the fruit.
- All-purpose flour (1 cup): Forms the quick batter that puffs into a tender, cake like topping.
- Sugar (1 cup): Sweetens the batter and helps the top caramelize to a golden finish.
- Milk (1 cup): Loosens the batter so it pours and bakes into a soft crumb.
- Baking powder (2 teaspoons): Lifts the batter for a light, cakey cobbler top.
- Salt (pinch): Balances sweetness and brightens the peach flavor.
- Cinnamon, optional: Adds cozy spice that pairs perfectly with peaches.
How to Make Peach Cobbler
PREP. Preheat your oven to 350°F and melt the ½ cup butter in a 9×9-inch baking dish in your oven.
ASSEMBLE. In a medium bowl, mix 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar, 1 cup milk, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and a pinch of salt and stir until just combined.
Take the pan out of the oven once the butter is melted and pour the batter mixture over it.
Spoon the canned peaches (with the juice/syrup) over it. Do NOT mix!!
BAKE. Bake for 40-45 minutes until the crust is golden brown and serve warm. We love to serve it with a scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream and Whipped Cream!
Kristyn’s Peach Cobbler Tips
- USE REAL BUTTER – don’t skip this!! Real butter is what helps give the cobbler that rich, buttery caramelized crust.
- NO STIRRING. Do not stir once layered, the batter rises through the peaches to create the crust.
- NO MORE JIGGLE. Bake until deep golden and the center no longer jiggles, start checking at 38 minutes.
- SERVE IT RIGHT – Peach cobbler is amazing on its own, but it’s next level with a scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream or homemade Whipped Cream. Pure heaven!

I made your delicious peach cobbler to take to a church supper last night. I doubled the recipe adding an additional 15 Oz can of peaches. I also added 1 1/2 tsp vanilla to the batter. When I arrive to the dinner it was still very warm. I walked in and someone asked what I brought and when I announced peach cobbler, it literally disappeared in less than 15 minutes. Everyone who was able to get some raved about it. My daughter had some and said that’s what she wants for her birthday. Great recipe. Definitely a keeper.
This turned out perfect, we doubled the recipe and it was so delicious. We refrigerated the leftovers and it tasted even better the next day. I like my cobbler warm with a scoop of ice cream, haven’t had a rich dessert that tasted so good even at a restaurant in a long time! Since we like our cobbler just moist and not gooey, I did not use the liquid from the cans, I just drained the cans and dumped the peaches into the cobbler. It was so moist and melt-in-your-mouth luscious, thank you for an excellent recipe!
I love hearing how perfectly it turned out!
I have already commented on thisrecipe. It was very good. Very close to Mom’s. Shared with cousin.
Can self rising flour be used instead of all purpose with baking powder added?
Yes, you can use 1 cup of self rising flour in place of the all purpose flour! Just leave out the baking powder and salt since self rising flour already contains both. Hope you enjoy the cobbler!
Awful…not even edible. The inside never cooked.. all googy inside and the top burned. One hour in oven.
That definitely isn’t the result we want. Oven temperatures can vary, but the inside should be cooked through without the top burning. I’m so sorry it didn’t turn out for you!
So quick and easy to assemble. Delicious.
I’m happy to hear it turned out well for you. Thanks for taking time to come leave a comment!
