This Easy Peach Cobbler recipe is a delightful, simple dessert featuring sweet canned peaches topped with a buttery, golden crust. With minimal ingredients and straightforward steps, it’s a perfect comfort dessert to enjoy warm, especially when paired with vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients

Batter and Topping

  • 1 cup self-rising flour (see Note for substitution)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (plus 2 additional tablespoons for topping)
  • 1/2 cup butter (divided and melted separately, 1/4 cup each)

Fruit

  • 1 (29 ounce) can sliced peaches in heavy syrup (undrained)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for baking the cobbler.
  2. Mix Batter: In a medium mixing bowl, coarsely combine the self-rising flour, 3/4 cup of granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup of melted butter. Optionally, add a dash of cinnamon for added flavor.
  3. Layer Flour Mixture: Sprinkle about one-third of the flour mixture evenly over the bottom of a 9×9 inch baking dish. This layer will soak up some of the peach syrup while baking to thicken the filling.
  4. Add Peaches: Pour the sliced peaches with their juice into the baking dish over the flour mixture. For a less liquid cobbler, you can drain some of the syrup before adding the peaches.
  5. Top with Remaining Mixture: Sprinkle the remaining flour and sugar mixture evenly over the peaches. Next, sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar on top, then drizzle the final 1/4 cup of melted butter over everything. The batter may look wet at this point, but it will thicken during baking.
  6. Bake Cobbler: Bake in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbling. Allow the cobbler to rest for at least 5 minutes after baking to set.
  7. Serve: Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a classic finish.
  8. Optional Serving Tip: This recipe can be doubled and baked in a 9×13 inch baking dish for a larger crowd.

Notes

  • If you don’t have self-rising flour, substitute 1 cup all-purpose flour plus 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  • The cobbler will appear wet before baking, but the flour mixture will absorb the peach syrup, resulting in a perfect texture.
  • Adding cinnamon to the batter is optional but recommended for extra warmth and flavor.
  • Letting the cobbler rest after baking helps it firm up and makes serving easier.
  • Serving with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream adds a wonderful creamy contrast.
