Easy Peach Cobbler

Ingredients

(Tip: You'll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (or canned peaches, drained)

1 cup granulated sugar, divided

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 teaspoon baking powder

¼ teaspoon salt

1 cup milk

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Directions

I start by preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing a 9x13-inch baking dish.

In a medium bowl, I toss the sliced peaches with ½ cup of sugar and the cinnamon if I’m using it. I set that aside so the flavors can start to blend.

In a separate bowl, I whisk together the flour, the remaining ½ cup sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Then I stir in the milk until the batter is smooth, and I mix in the melted butter until fully combined.

I pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Without stirring, I spoon the peaches and all their juices evenly over the batter.

I bake the cobbler for 40–45 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling beautifully.

I like to serve it warm, either on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.

Variations

When I want to change things up, I swap the peaches for other fruits like nectarines, cherries, or mixed berries. I sometimes add a splash of vanilla extract to the batter for extra depth. For a spiced twist, I increase the cinnamon or add a pinch of nutmeg. Using brown sugar instead of white gives it a deeper, caramel-like flavor. I’ve even tried adding chopped nuts to the top before baking for some crunch.

Storage/Reheating

I keep any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. When I’m ready to reheat, I use the oven or microwave. For best results, I warm it in a 350°F oven for about 10–15 minutes to help the topping stay crisp. If I’m in a hurry, I microwave individual portions for 30–45 seconds, though the crust softens a bit.

FAQs

Can I use frozen peaches for this cobbler?

Yes, I’ve made this with frozen peaches and it works great. I thaw and drain them first to avoid extra liquid in the dish.

Do I need to peel the peaches?

When I use fresh peaches, I usually peel them for a smoother texture. But leaving the skins on works too—it’s all personal preference.

Can I make this cobbler ahead of time?

Yes, I often bake it a day ahead and store it in the fridge. I just reheat it before serving to get that fresh-from-the-oven feel.

What’s the best way to serve this?

I love serving it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. It also tastes great plain.

Can I make this recipe gluten-free?

Yes, I’ve substituted a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend with good results. I just make sure the mix includes xanthan gum or a similar binder.

Conclusion

This easy peach cobbler is one of those recipes I return to again and again. It’s simple, satisfying, and endlessly adaptable. Whether I’m using fresh or canned peaches, it always fills my kitchen with that comforting, sweet aroma that makes homemade desserts so special. Perfect for summer gatherings or cozy evenings in—I just love how easy and delicious it is.
