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!

It’s been in the oven at 350 for an hour and isn’t done yet, so please be aware folks, cooking times may vary!!!
Yes, every oven is different. Temperature, altitude, etc. can also affect baking. Hope the cobbler ended up turning out for you!
Made with half the sugar and came out great. Such an easy recipe that my family loved. We ate it all within an hour of our coming out of the oven.
How can I add some frozen blueberries with the peaches to this? Or do the blueberries need to be fresh?
Sounds delicious – it just went into the oven. Super easy to make and I love that you can use canned peaches when you don’t have any fresh available.
I am planning on making this tonight, but I have self rising flour on hand. Is it ok to use that instead of regular flour and baking powder?
You can definitely give it a try! It should still work!
If using canned peaches should these be in heavy syrup or juice or what?
This is my go-to peach cobbler recipe, always delicious. I make this during peach season and use fresh peaches. It turns out perfect every time. I add a bit of freshly grated nutmeg to the peaches while cooking, it’s divine.
Just wanted to be clear we are dumping ALL the juice from the can in addition to the peaches over the batter?
Great recipe! Use it everytime I want a peach cobbler 😜
Thank you for sharing your recipe
REALLY? ONE HALF CUP OF BUTTER?!!
Two sticks? Way to much. Overnight in the fridge there was 3/8 inch of butter settled out on the bottom!
Thanks for the feedback and for giving the recipe a try.
1/2 cup of butter is 1 stick of butter not 2.
1/2 cup butter= 1 stick
