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!!!!
This was my first attempt at Peach Cobbler. The recipe was easy to follow with simple ingredients. It turned out slightly crispy and just the right texture throughout. It tasted amazing!
The easiest , most yummy recipe I have ever made.
Thankyou. Aug 18; 2023
Easy quick recipe but I agree with some of the other reviewers that it was far too sweet. Next time I’ll cut the sugar mixed with peaches in half. I used ripe peaches.
Sweet but good
I loved the peach cobbler recipe! So easy because I had all the ingredients needed. The peach cobbler was nice and sweet and it came out exactly like your picture!
I don’t know what those other people did when following this recipe, but this came out PERFECTLY for me. Not watery. Soft and fluffy. The best peach cobbler ever. I didn’t have as many peaches as the recipe called for, so I cut the sugar just a little but I left all the other ingredients exactly as called and followed the recipe to the letter. Perfection. So good. I could eat the entire pan right out of the oven. Love this so much. Can’t wait to make it again and I just pulled it out of the oven.
Agree with others that there is something off with the ratios. The batter is soggy and not fully cooked and it was way too sweet. What a waste of some beautiful peaches 😣
Is there a chance your baking powder has expired? I had the same results, with gooey dough, and found my baking powder expired a long time ago. Baking powder, which is responsible for the dough rising, only has a shelf life of 18-24 months.
Amazing. Made it for the 5th time and it is as good as the first. Didn’t change one thing
Like some others, mine tasted great, but it was very gooey. It got more gooey over time, too. I didn’t get the nice layer of crispy dough like in your photo. Either the peaches released too much juice, or the dough needed a bit more flour. I’m going to try with more flour.
I have made this recipe about 5 or 6 times and every time it’s been soooooooooo good.
Check your expiration date on your baking powder. The shelf life is only about 18-24 months. It is responsible for the dough rising. I found that to be the problem with my dough not rising.
I just found this recipe and decided to use it bc it was simple to make and we had 7 peaches vs the 5 it calls for, but was able to use all of them. I try to watch the amount of sugar in my baking to help my Hispanic wife ward off Diabetes, so I used some Xylitol with Brown sugar in the peaches and I used All natural Moreno Sugar in the dough. It was quite simple to do and we had all the ingredients we needed already in our cupboard and fridge. I will do a follow-up once we get it in a Bowl with some Whipped Cream and taste it, but really enjoyed how simple it was to make!
Wow so delicious and easy to make! I had peaches I needed to use before they went back and found this recipe that looked simple to make. I cut down on the sugar (halved it) because my peaches were super sweet. The butter really adds to the greatness of this recipe because you can taste it in every bite… It is amazing
