Easy Peach Cobbler Recipe
Description
Easy Peach Cobbler Recipe brings together a base of melted butter topped with fresh or thawed peaches tossed with sugar. The batter is a simple mix of flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and milk, poured over the peaches without stirring, which ensures a layered final dish. Baking at moderate heat forms a golden crust with soft cobbler underneath while preserving the peaches' juiciness.
This peach cobbler suits casual dessert settings and can be served warm, possibly with ice cream or whipped cream, to balance the natural sweetness of the peaches and batter. It works well for seasonal fruit desserts or whenever a sweet, baked fruit dish is desired.
The recipe includes make-ahead and freezer options: bake then refrigerate or freeze tightly wrapped for up to three months. Reheating in oven or microwave is straightforward. Variations include gluten-free or dairy-free ingredient substitutions and lower sugar alternatives. Self-rising flour can replace the standard flour and leavening for convenience. The instructions note an optional reversal of fruit and batter layering for different texture effects.
Ingredients
- 1/2 /2 cup butter
- 4 cups peaches fresh, frozen and thawed, or canned
- 1/2 /2 cup sugar
Peach Cobbler Batter
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 /4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup milk
Optional Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 /2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prep. Preheat the oven to 350º F. Add sliced butter to the baking dish and place in the oven while it preheats to allow the butter to melt. Remove the baking dish once the butter has melted.
- Prep the peaches. Add peeled and sliced fresh peaches and 1/2 cup sugar to a bowl and toss to combine. If using thawed frozen peaches, do the same as fresh peaches. If using canned peaches, drain away the juices from one can of peaches and only use the juices from one can.
- Make the cobbler batter. Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Pour in the milk and whisk until smooth and well combined. If using self-rising flour, omit the baking powder and salt.
- Add peaches. Pour the peaches over the melted butter, evenly distributing over the melted butter. Do not stir.
- Add the cobbler batter. Pour the cobbler batter evenly over the peaches, do not stir.
- Bake. Bake until lightly golden brown on top, about 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to rest about 3 minutes.
- Serve. Serve warm.
Notes
- Butter is melted in the baking dish before adding peaches and batter to create a rich base.
- Use fresh, frozen (thawed), or canned peaches; drain canned peaches and reserve juices as needed.
- For gluten-free cobbler, substitute gluten-free flour and adjust leavening as needed.
- Dairy-free versions can be made with plant-based milk and butter alternatives.
- To decrease sugar, use a sugar substitute suitable for baking.
- Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator and reheat before serving.
- For freezing, bake first, cool completely, then wrap tightly and freeze up to three months; thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
