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.
We LOVE this cobbler recipe! Even my husband has learned to make it and recipes terrify that man. I’ve also made it with fresh apples and it turned out just as great. I do have a question, though. Is there any reason that fruit juice or puree couldn’t be subbed for the milk? Thanks so much for another great recipe, several of yours are on our favorites list 🙂
I’m so happy to hear that! You could probably try to swap for a fruit juice or a puree with the cobbler. I’d love to hear how it turns out if you do.
I love ❤️
I love this recipes. I use it to make my husband a desert for his lunchbox. I switch it up using cherry or peach but I think I’m going to do a blueberry cobbler next.
I am so happy you love them!! There are so many cobbler options! Blueberry is good too!
This is the first time I’ve ever made this recipe. And it turned out amazing so far . Now I’m just waiting for the finishing results. I’m anxious to try this delicious and satisfying quench.
Very easy recipe, easy too put together, and simply DELICIOUS!!!
What type of juice or syrup canned peaches do you recommend?
I use the peaches in syrup for this recipe.
I’ve never made peach cobbler before, so I don’t know how it is supposed to look but that better looks rod to me. Is it supposed to have like a dumpling consistency?
You’ll know when it is finished because the biscuit topping will rise to the top and become a nice golden brown. The peach filling at the bottom will be bubbly.
Peach cobbler is sooo delicious. I must say that my mother use to make us homemade cherry cobblers that were beyond delicious ! Fresh picked cherries from the 2 cherry trees in our back yard. We couldn’t get enough of them. My father loved them too.
Can I substitute apricot with peach?
I’m sure you could! You’ll have to let us know how it tastes if you do!
Very good for last minute desert! Fast and easy!
Love the peach cobbler recipe ! So easy and you can use any kind of fruit
