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!!!!
Even though I made it incorrectly, it still turned out awesome! (I forgot to put the butter in the dish to melt it.)
A few tweaks: 1) I added more peaches. And I would add even more again. When I make apple crisp it calls for 4 cups for an 8×8 dish. I usually use 4-5 cups for a dish that size. For a 9×13 I would totally use 10 cups! Personal preference to have more fruit. 2) Next time I will reduce the sugar in the peaches. Using 1/2 to 2/3 what the recipe calls for will be plenty, I think. I found using the full amount to be too sweet. 3) I reduced the sugar in the batter by 25%. The full amount sounded like a LOT. On eating it, I’m really glad I used less! Can’t wait to try it again with less sugar in the peaches and less sugar in the batter. My family and I like cinnamon, so I added what sounded “right” and looked “right” in both the peaches and the batter.
The cobbler was SO delicious! The batter turned out fluffy and yummy. I didn’t expect it to rise as much as it did and it was a lovely surprise! The cook time and temp were perfect. 🙂 The juices will be more runny as the cobbler is hot and fresh out of the oven. As we have eaten the leftovers, the juices have soaked more into the cobbler topping. That’s kind of nice to not be so runny. I’m sharing this one with friends!
This is the only peach cobbler I will make comes out perfect each time. I am not a baker but I love peaches. No fear here just wonderful yummy peach cobbler.Easy,and absolutely delicious. Myself and my family only want this version! Give it a try You will have a new favorite go to recipe! Enjoy!
I used fresh peaches right off the tree! This recipe was just what my husband and I imagined, PERFECTION! Thank-you for sharing!
It was Easy, andYeah it came out BOMB !!!
Make this and was so good baked a little longer but so easy to follow
Loved it
Most delicious! First time making it and was enchanted with recipe & taste.
I used vegan butter and almond milk and it was fantastic. Could you use frozen fresh peaches in this recipe? This is our first year freezing.
Made this for my husband’s birthday and he said it was the best cobbler he’s ever had! So delicious and easy (was my first time ever making cobbler).
This is my go-to peach cobbler recipe! I don’t find it too sweet at all like some of the comments mentioned and it is so easy to make and consistently delicious every single time. Make this recipe!!!
Delicious and really easy to put together! I picked up 25 pounds of peaches from #thepeachtruck earlier this week and finally had time to make this Peach Cobbler!! I added 2 tsps of cinnamon to the flour mixture because I love cinnamon and I skipped the step where you heat up the peaches before adding to the cobbler mixture, because the peaches & sugar were already very juicy.
