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.
Cut sugar to 1/2 cup. Crust was still plenty sweet. I used canned peaches in heavy syrup. Sprinkled a little cinnamon and turbinado sugar on top. Great simple recipe. Thank you!
This is one of your recipes I have made numerous times!! Comes out perfect and delicious every time!!! Love your website!!!
I did and loved the recipe
Hello was wondering if I could use self rising flour instead of all purpose
You could try! You may not need to use as much baking powder and salt (since self rising flour has those ingredients in it).
Not sure how much cinnamon to use. One or more teaspoons mixed with the other dry ingredients?
Add to taste. I sprinkled some on top of the peaches along with a little sugar. (About 1/4 tsp, I wouldn’t do more than 1/2 tsp). Cinnamon is not typically added to the batter in peach cobbler. It’s used as a topping or mixed with peaches if you’re using fresh. Hope this helps.
My mom’s a big peach cobbler lover and she loved it. I made it a point to make it every year and every year she loves it more and more thank you for posting you’ve made it a better holiday for my mom ♥️
I’m thinking about making this for my sons rehearsal dinner for 25/30 people. Can I make this in aluminum pans?
Yes you could!
awesome
I don’t mean to be THAT person but just curious if a whole cup of sugar is necessary for consistency and flavor etc., or if I could use a bit less. I’ve managed to ruin a lot of recipes by trying to use less sugar, but maybe I could get away with it on this one?
I’m that person and used half the sugar. It still came out great!
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.
