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!!!!
Awesome and simple I added 1 tsp of vanilla flavoring to my peaches.
I made this recipe and it was wonderful. I had never made peach cobbler before and it was very easy and quick to prepare. It brought back great memories of eating peach cobbler at other people’s houses and events and this is exactly what a homemade peach cobbler should look and taste. My husband loved it too. Try it you won’t regret making it. I’m getting ready to make it again tonight, yummy!!!
My family and I LOVE this recipe! So I made a few adjustments. First, used the peaches in a jar from Trader Joe’s without the juice. Next I used 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and 1/2 cup of dark brown sugar. Then I added 2 tsp of vanilla extract and 3 pinches of nutmeg. For the milk, I used 3/4 cup of half and half and 1/4 cup of milk. Lastly, I used 7 tsb butter. Swirled it all together, baked at 350 for exactly 38 minutes. When runny in the middle midway and edges are crispy, I covered with foil. That did the trick until it was done baking. It was so delicious with vanilla ice cream!
Thanks for the tip. I plan on making it tonight and I have TJ peaches too. I was concerned with topping on bottom that TJs would make it soggy. I’ll try your method.
A friend shared this recipe with me and now I’ve made it 3 times in less than 1 month period. It’s so good! Some things I did differently: I used frozen peaches, thawed out and whatever juices it came in, I increased the recipe 1.5 to accommodate the 2 bags of frozen peaches and well, more is better!! And, I added/dropped in blueberries right before putting in the oven, great combo and the first time I did it I mixed them in with the peaches and it all came out very blue. Slightly wierd looking but still tasted amazing. Everyone loves this dish.
I ‘ve used your recipe, and all I can say is ‘Bless Your Heart’ I love it and so does my family. I always have to make a huge pan of it, and it’s never enough. Try it, I’m sure you’ll love it to ……
The inside batter was still undercooked after 40 minutes but I had to pull it out because the top was getting too brown. Bummer 🙁
Hi Brittany, next time make sure it’s baking on in the center of the oven (not upper racks), and if it’s getting too brown, place a piece of aluminum foil on top, and continue baking until it’s cooked through.
Hi Brittany, you can place an aluminum foil tent over your cobbler and cook it longer.
Deserves more than 5 stars!!!
DO NOT USE ALL THAT SALT ITS WAY TO SALTY!!!!!!🤢🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Well, don’t use it!! Salt brings out flavour and unless you have a highly processed diet, it won’t harm you, but you will taste the difference. 🙂
