Few desserts scream “comfort food” quite like a warm peach cobbler. Juicy peaches, a golden buttery topping, and a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side — it’s pure heaven in every bite. Whether you’re baking with fresh summer peaches or using canned for convenience, this recipe is quick, simple, and guaranteed to be a family favorite.
🥘 Ingredients You’ll Need
(Serves about 6–8)
- 6–8 fresh peaches (peeled & sliced) OR 2 cans (15 oz) sliced peaches, drained
- 1 cup granulated sugar (split: ½ cup for peaches, ½ cup for batter)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick), melted
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prep the Peaches
If using fresh peaches, peel and slice them. Toss with ½ cup sugar and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Let them sit for 10 minutes to release their juices.
2. Make the Batter
In a bowl, whisk together flour, remaining sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the milk, vanilla, and melted butter until smooth.
3. Assemble the Cobbler
Pour the batter into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Spoon the peaches (with juices) evenly over the batter. Don’t stir! The batter rises around the fruit as it bakes.
4. Bake
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 40–45 minutes, until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the crust comes out clean.
5. Serve Warm
Enjoy your cobbler fresh out of the oven with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
✨ Tips & Variations
- Add a pinch of nutmeg for extra warmth.

- Use canned peaches in winter to enjoy this dessert year-round.
