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!!!!
Did not work. Ruined a batch of fresh peaches. Followed recipe to the T. I would not recommend this recipe.
Same comment. The butter did not combine with dough or peaches. I have been baking for 70 years and this recipe will go in trash.
Followed the directions exactly , watched the video, read all the comments. The cobbler was not good at all. The batter was horrible. Tasteless and gooey. First recipe from this website that wasn’t a hit.
Horrible. Way, way, WAY too much sugar. Could half it and be still sweet. Too much butter, doesn’t cook as expected due to excess butter.
I’ve done this so many times it’s ridiculous and I’m not a baker at all works every time
Mine failed as well
Perfect! Just like my grandmother used to make! I had some cans of peaches that I wanted to use up. I usually use fresh fruit and wasn’t sure how canned peaches would be in a cobbler. I read through a lot of the comments before I chose this recipe. Based on what other reviewers said, I decided to double the recipe and use a 10″ x 15″ baking dish. I used two 29 oz. cans of sliced peaches (packed in fruit juice, not syrup), adding the juice from just one of them. I reduced the sugar, using 1.5 cups instead of 2 for the doubled recipe. I baked it for about 50 minutes. My family loved it! I will definitely be making it again!
This was my first time making a cobbler. The recipe was very easy to make and delicious. It came out perfect!
So very good! I’ve made this a few times since I got some yummy GA peaches..however, I want to make 2 more but can I freeze it before baking? Do I let the butter melt then add everything & then freeze or?
Very easy to make but I needed 7 peaches to get 4 cups not 5 peaches. Tastes delicious!
Delicious and easy
I made this using gluten free buckwheat flour and raw sugar, it turned out nice enough though the cobbler has some consistency like it’s uncooked. I would agree with others it could use less sugar. I’m happy with my first try of peach cobbler.
I think for the ease of this recipe and the way it came out I would give it 5 stars. It is definitely sweet and I LOVE sweets. Next time I will cut down the amount of sugar in the peaches, I used fresh peaches. I’ve never done a cobbler before and I will do this recipe again. I thought the batter was good but it is different than my experience with cobbler in the past. I’ve seen someone call this creeping cobbler in the comments. I did enjoy how easy it was to make and appreciated the tip to boil the peaches to get the skin off. I would say give this a shot and cut down the sugar if using fresh peaches.
I gave my review on this earlier and after I gave my review, my sister let me know that she tried some I took to her house and this was her review.
It was really good. The crust was the best I’ve had. Perfect amount of sweetness. Danny and I ate all of it.
So easy to make and turned out great! First time making any cobbler. I’ll be saving this recipe
