Ingredients
For the Cobbler Batter:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter (1 stick), melted
For the Peach Filling:
- 4 cups sliced peaches (fresh, canned, or frozen)
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (if using fresh or frozen peaches)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat & Prepare
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the melted butter in a 9×13-inch baking dish and set it aside. The butter will create a rich, crispy crust as the cobbler bakes.
Step 2: Prepare the Peach Filling
If using fresh or frozen peaches, toss them with brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, lemon juice, and cornstarch in a bowl. If using canned peaches, drain the syrup and mix them with the same ingredients (omit the cornstarch).
Step 3: Make the Batter
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Slowly pour in the milk, stirring until smooth. The batter will be thin but should be lump-free.
Step 4: Assemble the Cobbler
- Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not stir!
- Spoon the peach mixture over the batter, distributing it evenly. Again, do not stir. The batter will rise around the peaches while baking.
Step 5: Bake to Perfection
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy. The cobbler is done when the batter rises and forms a crisp, buttery crust over the juicy peaches.
Step 6: Serve & Enjoy!
Allow the cobbler to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for the ultimate treat!
Cooking Notes
- Can I Use Self-Rising Flour? Yes! If using self-rising flour, skip the baking powder and salt.

- More Cinnamon Flavor? Add a dash of nutmeg or allspice for extra warmth.
