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!!!!
Made this using the 2X amount. After it came out of the oven a HUGE pile of butter formed at the top. WAY TOO MUCH BUTTER. It was super greasy also the peaches pretty much turned to mush. Taste was good just too greasy and mushy
I much prefer crisp to cobbler, so as far as cobblers go, this one was great. I have absolutely NO IDEA why so many reviews said this was too sweet. I made this without any modifications and it was just the right amount of sweet.
I used fresh peaches from my dad a tree. They were little, so I just measured 4 cups worth.
I’ve been using this recipe for a few years now. It’s yummy. My dad makes me use more peaches. About 8. I also changed the batter up a little bit. Instead of 1 cup granulated sugar, I use 1/2 cup granulated and 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla. This recipe is yummy either way. Thank you for your recipe!
Batter on the bottom? Thought it was weird, gave it a go….. It didn’t rise. Looked at a handful of other recipes and all put on the top. Super sad, hand picked peaches and a crappy cobbler
Perfect!
Easy to make and fun.
I ate a hunk as dinner lol!
It was strange to me to put the butter in the dish and then the gummy dough mixed into the melted butter. And it seemed backwards to put the peaches on top! But after it came out of the oven all cinnamon and bubbly! Omg the best I’ve ever tasted!!!
Dee-lish! Super simple to make, very easy to follow recipe with good instructions and photos. A bit too sweet for my taste and will try cutting sugar in half next time and add more peaches. But super yummy.
This was sickeningly sweet in both the filling and the dough. Is it meant to be made with unripe peaches?? I can’t even fathom why someone would want to eat it like this. I triple checked the recipe after I made it, because I was convinced I made a huge error in my measurements, but I followed the recipe exactly. The dough is fully “baked,” but because the sugar content is so high it’s more like a gooey underbaked cookie than like any cobbler biscuit or cake topping I’ve made in the past. Now I’m sad that I wasted 5 delicious peaches 😢
Tonight I made this for the third time and each time used fresh peaches. All three times I simply sliced the peaches, keeping the skin on them since I wanted to retain all of the vitamins. I then cooked the peaches according to the recipe. I also reduced the sugar somewhat as it was a bit sweet for me the first time around. such a delicious cobbler, the best I’ve ever tasted. Everyone with whom I’ve shared it agrees!
Oh wow, I had bought some peaches from Aldi’s they weren’t quite right so I decided to make cobbler, and came to your site easy to make, easier to eat! I didn’t have it out of the oven 10 minutes and my husband was diving into it! This is the first time I have ever made a cobbler thank you for the recipe it was delicious
