Easy Homemade Peach Cobbler Recipe

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
