Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Canned Peaches: Using canned peaches makes this recipe quick and easy. They come in syrup, which adds sweetness. If you’d like, you can substitute fresh peaches when in season, just peel and slice them.
All-Purpose Flour: This is the foundation of your cobbler topping. If you’re looking for gluten-free options, almond flour or a gluten-free all-purpose blend works too!
Milk: Regular milk creates a nice batter, but feel free to use almond milk, oat milk, or any milk alternative if you want a dairy-free option.
Unsalted Butter: I prefer unsalted to control the saltiness, but if you only have salted butter, just skip the added salt in the recipe.
Granulated Sugar: For a unique twist, try substituting brown sugar for a richer flavor or using coconut sugar for a healthier option!
How Do You Achieve a Golden Brown Cobble?
Getting that perfect golden brown on top of your cobbler is all about temperature and time. Here are some tips:
- Make sure your oven is fully preheated to 350°F (175°C) before placing the cobbler inside.
- Baking uncovered allows the top to crisp up and get that lovely color.
- Check for doneness after 45 minutes. If you see a beautiful golden hue and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, it’s ready!
Letting it cool slightly allows the flavors to settle, so don’t rush when you serve it. And serving warm with ice cream really takes it to the next level!

How Much Time Will You Need?
This delightful peach cobbler takes about 15 minutes to prepare and around 45-50 minutes to bake. You’ll have a delicious dessert ready in under an hour, perfect for a quick treat after dinner!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your cobbler will bake evenly and rise nicely!
2. Prepare the Baking Dish:
Pour the melted butter into a 9×13 inch baking dish. Set it in the oven briefly to keep it warm while you mix your batter. This helps create a nice, crispy edge on the cobbler.
3. Mix the Batter:
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk these together until well blended. Then, slowly stir in the milk until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
4. Combine with Butter:
Carefully take the hot baking dish out of the oven and pour the batter evenly over the melted butter. Remember, do not stir—this keeps the layers separate for that top and bottom contrast!
5. Add the Peaches:
Now it’s time to spoon the undrained canned peaches over the batter. Just gently drop them on top, again without stirring.
6. Spice It Up (Optional):
If you like a little extra flavor, sprinkle some ground cinnamon or nutmeg over the peaches. This will add a touch of warmth to the dessert.
7. Bake the Cobbler:
Pop the cobbler into your preheated oven and bake for about 45-50 minutes. Keep an eye on it; you want it golden brown and set on top. A toothpick should come out clean when inserted.
8. Cool and Serve:
Once baked to perfection, take the cobbler out of the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. It’s best served warm! Enjoy it plain or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on top.
Enjoy your easy, comforting canned peach cobbler! Perfect for any occasion or just a sweet treat to brighten your day!
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I Use Fresh Peaches Instead of Canned?
Yes, fresh peaches can be used! Peel and slice about 4-5 fresh peaches, then toss them with a bit of sugar to enhance sweetness before adding them to the cobbler. You may want to add a splash of water or juice to make up for the syrup that canned peaches provide.
How Do I Store Leftover Cobbler?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm in the microwave or oven until heated through. Feel free to serve it warm or chilled!
Can I Make This Recipe Gluten-Free?
Absolutely! Substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. Just ensure that it contains xanthan gum or another binder to help the cobbler set properly.
What Should I Serve With Peach Cobbler?
This peach cobbler is delicious on its own, but for an extra treat, top it with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or even a drizzle of caramel or chocolate sauce. It’s also great with a side of freshly brewed coffee!
