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!!!!
Best peach cobbler recipe out there and have tried many!!!! I added a little brown sugar and a little vanilla to the batter. So good!
I’ve made this recipe several times and it’s always delicious. I use a 29 oz can of peaches and it comes out great. The canned peaches tasted the same as the fresh peaches when I tried using fresh, but canned is way easier. It’s a favorite of my family!
This was delicious! I made it with frozen peaches from the Peach Truck. Since there was extra juice, I did add some corn starch to keep it from being too runny. If I make it again I will make more of the batter. Thanks!
This is such a simple yet satisfying recipe! It’s not too sweet, but the perfect balance tart and rich melt in your mouth flavor. I used canned peaches (29oz) to shorten the prep time and baked for 42 minutes. To avoid a runny cobbler, you have to let it cool off before digging in. 5 out of 5 stars!
I wish I had this great advice first. I used peaches from the Peach Truck as well, and my cobbler is coming out less than ideal. Thank you!
Unclear as to how much of the juice to add. Used canned peaches and seems like too much liquid after 40 min. Still in the oven now trying evaporate more juice. I think it would be better to have a measured amount of juice (more specific) like the rest of the recipe.
I was hoping for a measurement of the “canned peaches” too, because I’ve never heard of a 2 quart jar of peaches. I looked at a similar recipe and they used one 15 oz can, so that’s about what I used. (I actually used a 4- pack of the Del Monte peach fruit cups, they’re 4 oz each and seemed to be about 3/4 fruit, 1/4 juice. I’ll weigh it next time and update.)
Using 16 oz worked well and wasn’t runny. I’m not sure how fruity an authentic Southern cobbler is supposed to be, but it was really good! 🙂
Tried it the other day and I’m making it again now. Family and me , loved it. Australia 🇦🇺
So delicious! I have made this twice now. I used homegrown plums and added cardamom powder to the batter, a wonderful and versatile recipe that I can use with any seasonal fruit. Yum! Thank you!
Absolutely delicious!
You may want to mention to use a larger baking dish when doubling. ( I know, but I only halved it, ie- instead of 1 c flour sugar, I used 1 1/2 c. Flour & sugar. I’m watching my cobbler spread like the blob in my oven. Kind of funny but,,,,
Can you double this recipe for a crowd? Totally Human
Excellent, this is my go to recipe for peach cobbler! This is the first time I am using canned peaches, but your recipes have been great. Thank you for sharing them.
Very tasty and delicious 😋 thanks for sharing your recipe. I’ve made it several times and will definitely keep this recipe
