This old fashioned Peach Cobbler recipe is not only extremely easy to make from scratch, but it's made with fresh or canned peaches so you can enjoy it all year round! It's one of my favorite family recipes from my mom, and although I am bias, I think it's the best of the best!
Peach Cobbler
Peach season is pretty much the best time of the year, am I right?! I love going to “pick your own” farms or buying a large box from a local vendor. Peaches are one of those things I could never get sick of! I have too many favorite peach recipes that I rotate through them each season, starting with my favorite homemade Peach freezer jam.
This peach cobbler recipe comes from my mom, and it is a family favorite recipe she made for us all the time growing up! The best part about it is that it literally takes 5 minutes to throw together! My mom often used a quart jar of homemade canned peaches, but you can also use fresh peaches!
How to easily peel peaches:
I've found the easiest way to peel peaches is to gently lower 2-3 peaches at a time into a pot of boiling water. Leave them in the water for about 30 seconds, and then remove them to an ice-water bath. The ice water bath will shock them and keep the peach flesh from cooking, but the peach skin will be so easy to peel that you wont even need a knife!
How to make Peach Cobbler:
- Add the sliced peaches, sugar and salt to a saucepan and stir to combine. Cook on medium heat for just a few minutes, until the sugar is dissolved and helped to bring out some juice from the peaches. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Slice butter into pieces and add to a 9×13 inch baking dish. Place the pan in the oven while it preheats, to allow the butter to melt. Once melted, remove the pan from the oven.
- In a large bowl mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the milk, just until combined. Pour the mixture into the pan, over the melted butter and smooth it into an even layer.
- Spoon the peaches and juice (or canned peaches, if using) over the batter. Sprinkle cinnamon generously over the top.
- Bake at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes. Serve warm, with a scoop of ice cream, if desired.
How to store and reheat peach cobbler:
Peach cobbler is best enjoyed warm, right after it's baked. Store leftover cobbler covered, in the fridge for 4-5 days.
To reheat peach cobbler, use the microwave or oven. To reheat in the oven, remove it from the fridge and allow it to come to room temperature. Bake at 350 degrees F for about 20 minutes or until warmed through. (Place tinfoil over it if it's browning too much).
Tell me this isn't the epitome of comfort food desserts?! A bowl of warm peach cobbler served with a small scoop of vanilla ice cream on top is seriously my idea of heaven.

*I first shared this recipe in August 2014. Updated July 2018.
SOOOO good!!!! EVERYONE in my family of 15 loved this with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Delicious! I had a jar of peach halves from Bulgaria and thought I would use them for this Cobbler recipe, and I was not disappointed!
After weighing out the required amount and slicing the peach halves into wedges, the recipe came together in a flash!
I took it for a friend’s supper invitation and it was devoured! As an accompaniment, I also took along Vanilla Honey ice cream. Chef’s Kiss to the result!
Thanks to you, Lauren, and to your Mum for sharing your cherished family recipe! It will now be on our family fabourites rotation!
Hands down the best cobbler EVER. Each time I’ve made it. I’ve added either blueberries, or blueberries and cherries. I also add a touch of cinnamon to the fruit along with a teaspoon or so of lime juice to cut the sweetness just a tad and it’s been amazing each time.
OMG. Best peach cobbler I have ever made and ever made. My husband loved it. I took the shortcut and made it with canned peaches, but it was incredible. Thank you for sharing. This is my new go-to, and will be sharing this recipe with my grandchildren in 30 years like I came up with it myself. 🙂 Thank you!
We are so happy you and your husband enjoyed it!!
OMG!!! This IS such a quick, easy and so delicious recipe. My family loved 🥰 IT!! One for the tool box for sure. Made it twice already making it for a friend tomorrow and can’t wait to share with others. Thank you so much!!!!
Good. Used less sugar and was good.
Cut add ingredients down and made in smaller pan so baked shorter time.
My husband loved the peach cobbler made with your recipe! It was delicious. Thanks for sharing!!
I’m don’t like too much sugar so I used 1/3 cup brown sugar with the peaches and 1/2 cup sugar in the batter. This was perfect for us, especially if you top with ice cream. I also baked about five extra minutes and increased the temp to 375 for those minutes.
Best. Cobbler I’ve ever made and really easy
This is the best cobbler I’ve ever made. I used fresh peaches that were firm but sweet. My husband and son loved it! I’ll be making this recipe again and again! Thank you!
I’m fixing this recipe now! 😃 it’s in the oven!! We got fresh peaches yesterday and I can’t wait to gobble this cobbler up! Thank you for sharing your wonderful knowledge of baking and cooking for those of us not so good at it!! Lol
This was yucky. It wasn’t even mediocre, it’s just a shade above terrible. Despite all the butter and sugar, the top never browned and it has a weird spongey texture. No idea how this has 5 stars? This is almost as far from 5 stars as you can get. Fake reviews I guess, or she deletes real reviews. Not a website I can trust for recipes.
Sounds like user error, without being there can’t say what you did wrong. I can tell you that we do NOT delete reviews, this recipe is a favorite because it’s awesome, and others that have tried it have loved it.
Way to stand your ground! I never comment, but I’ve made this multiple times(again today) and it always turns out REALLY good. My family thanks you!
Some people just can’t follow directions well….it was Perfect exactly as written…Thank you so much!
Ugh, so just because you failed at making the recipe or have a flimsy and subpar oven, all the reviews are fake? Get over yourself “Emily”. Most of us made this and loved it. You can’t even follow an easy 5 star recipe and have it turn out good? Phooey!
Sounds like you don’t know how to bake!! Shame on you for accusing her of adding fake reviews!!
I made this tonight with fresh, not quite ripe peaches and it was fantastic. The edges were chewy, the dough was light and airy, and the peaches were soft but held their shape. It was a hit with the family!
Tried it today. It’s a keeper!!! Simple to do and delicious!😋
This was totally delicious and so easy. I ended up using about 8 fresh peaches and it covered the 9×13 pan well. It was loved by guests and will make it again soon.
My first peach cobbler and my wife and I both loved it. Thanks so much for sharing your recipe.
Easy and tasty. Added oats to mix for little more texture.
