Ingredients

You don't need many ingredients to make this easy peach dessert! Let's talk about the most important ones.

  • Peaches: I like to use a cheap brand of canned peaches here, as they are soft. However, you can use diced fresh peaches, too.
  • Butter: To keep things easy, this is melted right in the pan, and then the batter is poured on top. The melted butter really gives the crust a delicious, chewy texture. (Vegan butter or coconut oil are good dairy-free alternatives.)
  • Flour: I like to use all-purpose for this recipe, but feel free to swap for a measure-for-measure gluten-free flour if you like.
  • Milk: Use whole milk or your favorite non-dairy alternative.

How to Make

  1. Cut the fresh peaches into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Put the butter in a cake pan and place it in a 350°F oven to melt while you're getting everything ready.

3. Stir together the flour, sugar, milk, baking powder, and salt until they're well mixed. Pour over the melted butter. Don't stir!

4. Sprinkle the fresh peaches over the batter.

5. Bake at 350 F until golden brown.

6. This recipe has been slightly adapted from this recipe from Oh My Goodness Chocolate Desserts, which is similar to one our family has enjoyed for many years.

Now that you know how easy it is to make peach cobbler, you'll want to make it all the time. Fortunately, this recipe tastes good with canned peaches, or even with other fruits like blueberries, blackberries, or cherries. Your family will have fun trying this recipe with different fruits!

Recipe FAQs

Can I use canned peaches?

Yes, you can definitely use canned instead of fresh as an easy substitution.  Use a 28-ounce can of sliced peaches in juice or light syrup, well-drained and chopped into smaller pieces.

Why is my peach cobbler gooey?

This is probably due to not draining the fruit well enough.  Next time, drain the canned fruit thoroughly in a sieve or use fresh or frozen fruit.

Is peach cobbler supposed to be warm or cold?

Peach cobbler is traditionally eaten warm or at room temperature. When cold the fruit and juices thicken and the cobbler is not as tasty. If it's been stored in the refrigerator it will taste better if you reheat it in the oven or microwave before serving.

What is the difference between crisp and cobbler?

A cobbler is a cake-like dessert with chunks of fruit in it, while a crisp is typically a layer of cooked fruit topped with an oatmeal crumble.  They definitely are different desserts!

Expert Tips

  • Melt the butter in the pan instead of the microwave to save time and for easy preparation.
  • Measure the ingredients accurately and mix thoroughly for the best results.
  • Whisk the batter to make sure it is free from lumps.
  • Use canned, fresh, or frozen fruit here.  There's no need to defrost frozen fruit first.
  • Reheat the cobbler in a 300 F oven for 15 minutes.

Ingredients
 

For the Cobbler

  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • 3 cups fresh peaches, diced
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • pinch salt

For Serving

  • vanilla ice cream

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F.
  • Place the butter in a 9x12-inch cake pan and put in the oven for about 5 minutes, until the butter is completely melted.
  • Rinse 4 large peaches and dice them to get 3 cups (445g).
  • Stir together the flour, sugar, milk, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl until well blended and most of the lumps are gone.
  • Pour the batter into the melted butter, but don't stir them together.  The butter will give the peach cobbler a wonderful crust as it bakes.
  • Evenly sprinkle the diced peaches over the batter, then bake at 350 F for 35-40 minutes until the cobbler is a beautiful golden brown.  Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.

Notes

  • Melt the butter in the pan instead of the microwave to save time and for easy preparation.
  • Whisk the batter to remove lumps.
  • Feel free to use canned or frozen peaches, or even other types of fruit as well.
  • Using canned peaches?  Drain them well, then cut them into bite-size pieces to make the cobbler easier to eat and to distribute the fruit more evenly.
  • This tastes the best the same day, but you can reheat leftovers and enjoy another time.

    I love the peaches in the cobbler. I like the corners because they're crunchy. The peaches are juicy and delicious!
