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!!!!
I came home from vacation to find the branches of my peach trees just about on the ground, loaded with ripe peaches. I’ve made 9 of these in the last 3 days, taken one to work, passed out to friends & family & kept two at home, lol 😂 This is a great easy recipe & the taste is amazing. I did add a splash of vanilla to the batter & a little cinnamon. Yummy. Also note, I’ve doubled this recipe & divided between 3 8×8″ pans and added 5 min to the cook time. Comes out a little deeper in the pans, worked great! This is one of my go-to’s during peach season! 🍑
Made this with very ripe fresh Jersey Peaches! Was delicious warm with vanilla ice cream! Yummy
I had a large can of peaches and needed a quick dessert. This recipe was quick, easy and delicious! I’ll make it again for sure!
This is a recipe that I’ve been making all my life. My mom and granny always called it bachelor’s cobbler because it’s so easy to throw together and very impressive for a single guy to make for his girlfriend when he invites her over for dinner
I love this recipe even more after reducing the sugar. The first time I made it, I thought, “Hmm, somebody has a sweet tooth, and it’s not me!” I read the reviews to reduce sugar, so the next time I was less generous – 1/2c w/ peaches, 3/4c in dough. Still too sweet with my homemade vanilla ice cream. The perfect ratio for my taste buds: 1/3c brown sugar in peaches, 1/2c white in dough. While not like my Southern born mom’s – made with fresh peaches from our tree – it is an easy, perfect substitute!
Easy and delicious. Chewy caramelized crust. I’m eating it now and may have another helping!
I would never be called a baker. I used canned peaches and this turned out perfect! I didn’t make any adjustments, just topped with salted caramel ice cream. It was huge success.
This recipe is amazing and easily the best recipe I’ve found. I would like to know how you would suggest converting it for blackberries though. I don’t much care for peach cobbler but can eat an entire pan of blackberry!
I love this peach cobbler! Made it so many times!
this is honestly so good. my family is not the biggest fan of cinnamon but loved it. and I’ve been baking for so long, so I’m surprised it turned out so good. also, it was amazing when I substituted all the white sugar for brown, really made the carmalization difference. Amazing!
Absolutely phenomena!
This peach cobbler recipe is incredible! I read the reviews, and I didn’t think the recipe was too sweet. But I did use real peaches instead of canned (which is where I could see much of the sweetness coming from). I used six instead of five peaches, and it turned out just perfect. I did add a splash of vanilla to my peach mixture as well. I also baked the batter in the pan without the peaches first, for about 2-3 minutes and then added the peaches. I cannot stress it enough – this peach cobbler is a crowd pleaser!! I served it for my mom’s birthday and no crumbs were left. Everyone loved it! Even the toughest critic at party had nothing to critique.
