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 IS THE BOMB!! Don’t listen to the folks who have no idea what a real cobbler is. It’s supposed to be sweet and if they followed this exactly (I used real peaches) the crust would have come out perfect. If you lessen the sugar it’s not a real Peach Cobbler; it’s just a peach crust pie. If you don’t use the right size pan the crust won’t cook properly. btw- I wish people would review the actual recipe and not give their version of what it should be. Write your own recipe. 🤦🏽♀️🙄
I used 2 cans of peaches and followed the recipe as it said. It turned out PERFECT!!! Tastes just like what my grandmother made 50 years ago. Good memories can rushing back while I was eating it.
Made this yeserday. Came out good except that the center was less baked than the edges. What can be done to make sure it cooks more evenly. Because it needed 1 hr at 350. Otherwise it was good.
Hi,
You have to know your oven
1. Maybe turn the pan halfway through. I have to do that with my oven due to cold/hot spots.
2. You do need to heat the butter before adding the batter
3. Make sure the pan is the right size, also it could be the difference of a glass or nonstick pan.
4. Do not change anything about the recipe.
I only give this advice because I absolutely cannot bake. Zero skills. I have tried many recipes and they never come out like my Grandma’s. This one got rave reviews from the last family gathering we had.
Lisa, I found my expired baking powder prevented my dough from rising. Just a suggestion to check your date.
I loved this recipe as a template because I adjusted the sugar (used less than half because the peaches were sweet on their own.) Also, cut the butter in half and still had a buttery flavor. I used 1/2 cup whole wheat flour and 1/2 cup all purpose flour. The cobbler turn out great and we finished it off so quickly I had to make another batch!
This recipe was amazing! The sweetness of cooked peaches and the golden crispy baked crust was heavenly. I made it for my dad’s birthday, and my dad, little brother, and I loved it! It was such an easy and quick dessert to make that had the house smelling so good. It was great with vanilla ice cream also🤩
Don’t put sugar in the crust came out terrible
Excellent. Didn’t add sugar to peaches and didn’t cook. I used French flour and 1/4 c sugar. Very sweet.
Thank you for the recipe.
This is a great, easy cobbler recipe. I made it yesterday and it was all eaten within 18 hours. I just made another dish of it because my oldest didn’t grab any before it was eaten up…and I had more peaches. Really delish with fresh from Farmer’s Market Michigan Red Haven peaches. Yum! I read some who felt it was a bread pudding. Maybe not a traditional biscuit topping but in my very Southern roots I do not believe it is a bread pudding! This is saved in my fast, easy, and delicious category!
Peach cobbler is the best..my first time making it and it was gone in 2 days yummy 😋
It is very good but way too much sugar. I would cut the sugar for the peaches in half.
This recipe was delicious, simple and came out perfect. My peaches were a little on the tart side and the cobbler recipe worked great. I did add a quarter tsp. of pumpkin spice to the peaches.
I made this recipe today and agree with many of the reviewers. It is a bread pudding, not a cobbler.
