Ingredients for Easy Peach Cobbler

You don’t need much for this Recipe. Most of these items are already in your kitchen.

You’ll need:

• 1 large can (29 oz) of sliced peaches in syrup or juice
• 1 cup self-rising flour
• ¾ cup sugar
• 1 cup milk
• ½ cup butter (1 stick), melted
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
• A pinch of salt

Optional toppings:

• Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream
• A sprinkle of brown sugar or nutmeg before baking

Ingredient tips:

• Peaches in syrup make the cobbler sweeter and more flavorful, but you can use peaches in juice if you prefer less sugar.

How to Make Easy Peach Cobbler with Canned Peaches

This recipe comes together fast. Follow these simple steps.

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the butter in a 9×13-inch baking dish and put it in the oven. Let the butter melt while the oven heats up.

When melted, remove the dish from the oven and set it aside.

Step 2: Mix the Batter

In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and milk. Stir until smooth. It’s fine if there are a few small lumps. Don’t overmix — the texture will still come out perfect.

Add a pinch of salt and cinnamon if you like.

Step 3: Layer the Batter and Peaches

Pour the batter over the melted butter in the dish. Don’t stir.
Spoon the canned peaches (with syrup) evenly over the batter. The layers will mix slightly while baking and create a soft, sweet crust.

Step 4: Bake

Place the dish in the oven. Bake for 40–45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and crisp around the edges.

The syrup will bubble up through the crust — that’s exactly what you want.

Step 5: Cool and Serve

Let the cobbler cool for at least 10 minutes. The filling will thicken as it cools. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Tips for Perfect Peach Cobbler

A few small details make a big difference:

• Don’t stir the layers. The magic of this recipe is in how the batter rises around the peaches.
• Watch the color. When the top turns deep golden brown, it’s ready.
• Use syrup, not water. The syrup gives the filling that rich, sticky sweetness.
• Cool before cutting. The filling sets as it cools, making it easier to serve.

If your cobbler turns soggy, it may be underbaked or have too much syrup. Bake it a few minutes longer until the top is crisp.

Simple Variations

You can easily change up this recipe for different tastes or ingredients.

1. Use Fresh or Frozen Peaches

If you have fresh peaches, peel and slice about 4 cups. Sprinkle with ¼ cup sugar to mimic the syrup sweetness.
Frozen peaches work too — thaw and drain them before using.

2. Add Extra Flavor

Try mixing a teaspoon of vanilla or almond extract into the batter.
You can also sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon on top before baking for a deeper flavor.

3. Try Other Fruits

This recipe works great with other canned fruits.
Examples:

• Pineapple chunks for a tropical twist
• Cherries for a cherry cobbler
• Apples for a simple apple bake

How to Serve Easy Peach Cobbler

This cobbler tastes best warm. The crust stays crisp while the filling stays soft.

If you’re making it for guests, bake it just before dinner and serve warm after the meal. The smell of baked peaches will fill your kitchen.

How to Store and Reheat

If you have leftovers (which is rare), store them properly to keep the flavor and texture.

To store:

• Cover the dish with foil or plastic wrap.
• Refrigerate for up to 3 days.

To reheat:

• Warm in the oven at 325°F (160°C) for 10–15 minutes.
• Or microwave individual portions for 30–45 seconds.

To freeze:

Let the cobbler cool completely. Wrap it tightly in foil or place it in a freezer-safe container. Freeze up to 2 months.
Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat before serving.

FAQs About Peach Cobbler

Can I use fresh peaches instead of canned?
Yes. Use about 4 cups of peeled and sliced peaches. Mix them with ¼ cup sugar to replace the syrup sweetness.

Why is my cobbler too runny?
It may need more baking time. Bake until the crust is golden and the filling bubbles thickly. Also, avoid adding extra liquid from the can.

Can I make peach cobbler ahead of time?
Yes. You can prepare the batter and keep it in the fridge for a few hours. Bake it just before serving for the best texture.

What’s the best pan for peach cobbler?
A 9×13-inch glass or ceramic baking dish works best. Metal pans bake faster and may brown too quickly.
