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.
Hello Kristyn
Thank you very much for your wonderful peach cobbler recipe which my family loved! 🙂
Could this recipe be made with fresh pears, as I am lucky enough to have a lovely pear tree.
I have also just received your fall recipes which I’m going to investigate!
Thank you very much.
Best regards,
Rosemary.
Hello again!
Forgot to rate the recipe with 5 stars!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the cobbler. You could definitely try it with pears. I imagine that would be delicious too!
Thank you for a delicious and easy recipe! Made per the directions and it was a hit. I prefer this over the dump cake recipes. Must serve with ice cream.Yum!
I got this recipe years ago from a friend. It is the only one I use. Everyone in my family loves it and asks for it often! So yummy!
Made as written, but also added a splash of vanilla extract. Delicious, but a bit too sweet. Next time I’ll use a little less sugar and butter, and increase the peaches a bit. I made this in an 8 x 8 glass pyrex, and it fit fine. Had to cook a full 45 minutes. Still, a great recipe for a classic dessert.
Easy to make and very easy to eat!
Best cobbler recipe I have ever made-easy and delicious!
I used a 9×13 glass dish.added more fresh peaches and some bing cherries 🍒 pitted and quartered on top with little extra cinnamon and sugar. In the oven now.
Sounds amazing!
Do I need to double the recipe or will it work as is in a 9×13? Thanks!
It will have thin layers of both the peaches and the cobbler topping, so I’d recommend doubling.
totally delicious breading n peaches I added nutmeg, cinnamon n turbinado sugar..however crust was a cake with peaches on bottom. not a cobbler so maybe I’ll do 1/2 the recipe for the crust next time.
My grandsons love this recipe. They ask for it everytime they stop by. I’ve experimented with it and had some disasters. And a few that were pretty good. My oldest grandson likes it made with canned pears double the fruit. Basically use 2 cans of pears draining the juice from one. Cook time is between 5 to 10 minutes more. The youngest likes it best if I reduce the suger and butter by a tablespoon and add extra cinnamon. The other 3 kids like it made with fried apples. So versatile. Great recipe.
Easy Peasy, makes people think I can cook
Awesome
