4.7 from 126 reviews

Classic Peach Cobbler is a comforting, fruity dessert featuring sweet sliced peaches baked under a tender, golden batter crust. This easy-to-make recipe combines simple pantry ingredients into a luscious cobbler perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Batter

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup milk

Additional Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1 can (15 oz) sliced peaches, drained

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare your 8×8 inch baking dish for the cobbler.
  2. Melt Butter: Melt 1/2 cup of butter and pour it carefully into the bottom of your baking dish. Avoid swirling the butter to keep it evenly distributed.
  3. Mix Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1 cup milk until just combined. Small lumps are okay; do not overmix.
  4. Layer Batter: Pour the batter directly over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not stir or mix the layers.
  5. Add Peaches: Gently arrange the drained sliced peaches evenly over the top of the batter without stirring them in.
  6. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes until the top turns golden brown and the peach juices bubble around the edges.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool for a few minutes before serving warm for the best flavor.

Notes

  • Do not stir the batter and peaches once layered; this layering effect gives the cobbler its characteristic texture.
  • You can serve the cobbler with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for added indulgence.
  • Drain peaches well to prevent the cobbler from becoming too soggy.
  • This recipe can be doubled and baked in a 9×13 inch dish if desired.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
