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 we think you’ll love it:
- 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).
- Perfect all year long. Summer, winter, holidays – it’s always good! No need to wait for peach season when using a can.
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 had the same issue as one of your reviews but added 10 – 15 MINUTES. Other than that, your recipe is great. I did, however, make 2 variations to match my TASTE. I added a teaspoon of vanilla EXTRACT ti the mix and once I pulled the dish out of the oven, I immediately sprinkled with a cinnamon / sugar mix. This was just a craving I had at the time and satisfied my CRAVING and turned out really good.
Do you need to add any more flour for high altitude?
I am not too familiar with cooking in higher altitude, so I am not sure if you would need to or not. I know usually the baking time differs. Let me know if you give it a try 🙂
Mine was runny…😔

I love when peaches are in season for recipes just like this one! Perfect fix for my sweet tooth; my whole family loved it!
This reminds me of the one my grandmother made. I have a question though. The peaches she used were in heavy syrup. Do you use heavy or light syrup? Thanks for a great recipe.
I like to use light, but it’s a personal preference. Either will work 🙂

I’ve used both 🙂 They both work!
