Tips & Variations
- Use ripe, juicy peaches for the best flavor; if using canned, drain some syrup for a less sweet cobbler.
- Add a pinch of nutmeg along with cinnamon for a deeper spice profile.
- Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute flour with a gluten-free baking mix.
Storage
Store leftover cobbler covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat portions in the microwave or a warm oven until heated through. The topping may soften slightly but remains delicious.

FAQs
Can I use frozen peaches instead of fresh?
Yes, thaw and drain frozen peaches well before using to avoid excess moisture that can make the cobbler soggy.
Is it necessary to peel the peaches?
Peeling is recommended for a smoother texture, but you can leave the skins on if you prefer a more rustic cobbler.

Description
This classic hot peach cobbler is a warm, comforting dessert featuring juicy fresh peaches baked under a tender, golden batter. Easy to prepare and perfect for any occasion, it bursts with sweet peach flavor and a hint of cinnamon, served right out of the oven for a delectably cozy treat.
Ingredients
For the Peaches
- 4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (or 15 oz canned peaches in syrup)
- ½ cup sugar
For the Batter
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tbsp cinnamon (optional, for extra warmth)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking your cobbler evenly.
- Prepare Peaches: In a medium bowl, toss the peeled and sliced peaches with ½ cup of sugar. This helps to sweeten the fruit and release their natural juices. Set aside while you make the batter.
- Make Batter: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining ½ cup sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon if using. Stir in the melted unsalted butter and milk until just combined, leaving some small lumps to keep the batter tender.
- Assemble Cobbler: Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Pour the batter evenly into the dish. Spoon the peach mixture, including all the juices, evenly over the batter. Do not stir; the batter will rise around the peaches as it bakes.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes. Bake until the top is golden brown and bubbling around the edges, indicating the peaches are cooked through and the batter is set.
- Cool Slightly: Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes before serving. This helps the dessert thicken slightly and makes it easier to serve.
Notes
- Fresh peaches provide the best flavor, but canned peaches in syrup can be used as a convenient alternative.
- Adding cinnamon is optional but adds a wonderful warmth and depth of flavor.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an indulgent treat.
- You can substitute milk with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free option.
- To prep ahead, assemble the cobbler in the baking dish and refrigerate uncovered for up to 4 hours before baking.
