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 and Substitutions
- 1 (15-ounce) can of peaches – the whole can (do not drain)
- ½ cup butter – we use unsalted butter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour – see How to Measure Flour
- 1 cup sugar – or replace half the granulated sugar with light brown sugar
- 1 cup milk – at least 2% milk or whole milk
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- pinch of salt
- ground cinnamon – or sprinkle on ground nutmeg, allspice, or a Pumpkin Pie Spice
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.
- 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!
- EXTRA CRUNCH – if you want a little extra crunch on that crust, sprinkle a little extra sugar (or even cinnamon sugar) on top before baking.
Everyone absolutely loved this and it took no time to make.
I made this gluten free and vegan. I cup of King Arthur’s gf flour, 1 cup of plant milk, I use almond milk. Vegan butter. I also added cinnamon. It’s a big hit even with my non vegan friends.
I’m so happy glad you were able to adapt the recipe! Sounds delicious. Thanks for sharing!
Excellent dessert!
I followed everything step by step. Left in over longer than it says….. still mushy. Maybe I’ll completely drain all the juice from the peaches next time.
If I use self rising flour, do I need baking powder??
You probably wouldn’t. Or you could reduce the amount of baking powder. I haven’t tried with self-rising flour, so if you do give it a try, you’ll have to let us know how it turns out.
Did you cook the peaches? I’ve been making this kind of cobbler crust for years and NEVER had it turn out too runny. If you cook the peaches, spice and sweet’n them up, the juice will thicken up. I mean…who pours the peaches in straight from the can anyway?
I added chopped walnuts yo it. Yummy and easy
Tasty!! So glad you enjoyed the cobbler!
So good and so easy! Even my very picky husband says this is a keeper!
