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.
Our family favorite ❤ Our grandchildren always request this yummy peach cobbler! I made two yesterday to share with them 😋 They love it served with vanilla ice cream
My girlfriend and I made this to end a dinner we made for all our employees. We took the suggestion of adding the cornstarch dusted blueberries. Everyone loved this. As a matter of fact the next gathering we are having tonight with them and they asked that we please make this again and more of it! So I am quadrupling the recipe and adding le de leche as a topping for the ice cream. The beautiful thing is that this is so easy to make and takes no time. Just be careful as this recipe for use to creep over the baking dish a bit in the oven. We cooked it on the middle rack and just added a sheet pan under to catch the fleeing goodness. Please enjoy this delightful treat!
Hey there. I have a question and it might be a goofy one for those who are bakers. If I make the fresh peach version does it need to cool at all before putting it on top of the dough mixture? Most dessert recipes don’t turn out when I make them from scratch except a rum bundt cake from the 70’s and mint brownies. LOL This sounds so easy and I have fresh peaches to use up. Thanks so much
@mrsrobobo, I’m going to say no. Usually they’ll put in the information to let cool but also since this doesn’t have eggs in it, you don’t have to worry about scrambling the eggs which is usually the concern with adding hot.
Great question! No, you don’t need to let the peaches cool down. You can add them to the top as soon as you have made the fresh peach mixture!
Did you use fresh or frozen blueberries that you dusted with cornstarch? Did you add the blueberries right on top of the peaches? 1 cup?
Thanks for this simple, delicious recipe!
You’re welcome!!
We’ve been making it this way since I was very young, it was in one of Mama’s cook books, from the 40s or 50s. Can’t remember which book. But it’s delicious and you can use blackberries or blueberries too. Just make a cornstarch mixture from either can or fresh fruit. I’ve done a mixture of berries. Like fresh rasp, fresh blackberries and canned blueberries use all the thick mixture and mix around 3 tablespoons of cornstarch and 1 cup of juice or water. Add a lil lemon zest n tsp of juice. Yum! Like a Razzledazzle berry pie but better! We always have vanilla bean or French vanilla ice cream in my freezer!! I highly recommend the ice cream on top when it’s really warm still or Ala mode if you will, it’s a game changer!! 😋😋 yummy!
I’m so grateful to you because I couldn’t find my Nana’s baking book (it’s all baking, no cooking) poor things old and fallin apart, I think from the 1900s!
Thank you so much again!! I’ve got a doubled batch of peach cobbler version in the oven as we speak!
Oh btw I always add a dash of vanilla & cinnamon to the peach version. And it’s so delicious 😋
I’m so glad you found this recipe! That razzleberry mixture sounds divine. And the addition of vanilla and cinnamon is delicious too I’m sure. Thanks for sharing! Hope you enjoy the cobbler as much as you enjoyed the recipe from your mom’s cookbook. 🙂
Hi, can you substitute the milk with oat milk or half and half??
Yes, I suppose you could! You’ll have to let us know how it turns out if you do!
I tried this, as is, with a jar of Costco peaches from their three pack, so I know it was economical. It turned out great and so easy! Next time I want to add some blueberries and/ or blackberries because I like a lot of fruit plus a blend. Great recipe with ingredients everyone will have on hand!
Amazing! I’ve been looking for this recipe my whole life. Thank you thank you thank you.
You’re welcome!!
I have never left a recipe comment but my husband has literally eaten 1/2 of a pan of this cobbler by himself & says it’s one of the best things he’s ever eaten. I didn’t change a thing. Thanks for a great, easy recipe!
Oh that makes me so happy to hear! Thanks for sharing. Glad the recipe was a hit!
What size pan is suitable when doubling this recipe?
A 9×13 would work!
I just made this for breakfast and I completely forgot the sugar! Lol! Still turned out pretty tasty, so I can definitely tell it would have been amazing with more sweetness haha.
