Peach Cobbler Recipe: Irresistible and Classic

Ingredients

For the filling:

• 6 cups sliced peaches (fresh, frozen, or drained canned)
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch (or flour, for thickening)

For the cobbler topping:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk (whole or 2%)
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place a 9×13-inch baking dish in the oven while it preheats.
2. Prepare the filling. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine peaches, sugars, lemon juice, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch. Stir and cook for 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened. Set aside.
3. Make the batter. In a bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in milk until smooth.
4. Assemble the cobbler. Remove the hot dish from the oven. Pour in melted butter. Without stirring, pour the batter evenly over the butter. Spoon the peach mixture over the batter. Do NOT stir.
5. Bake. Bake for 40–50 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the topping comes out clean.
6. Cool slightly. Let sit for 10–15 minutes. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Tips & Variations

• Use ripe peaches for best flavor
• Substitute almond extract for a twist
• Add chopped pecans to the topping for crunch
• Sprinkle sugar on top before baking for a caramelized crust
• Mix in blackberries or raspberries for a fruity variation
• Try a dash of bourbon in the filling for adult flair

Note:

Don’t stir the batter once it’s in the dish—this creates the signature cobbler layers. Letting it sit before serving helps the filling thicken up.

Serving Suggestions

• Warm with vanilla ice cream
• Cold with a cup of coffee the next morning
• Topped with bourbon whipped cream
• Drizzled with heavy cream or sweetened condensed milk
• Pair with a crisp white wine or sweet tea
