Why You’ll Love This Easy Peach Cobbler Recipe

If you’ve ever had a Southern-style peach cobbler, you know it’s a dessert that combines rich flavors and a delightful texture. What makes this recipe special is its simplicity—canned peaches make it super convenient, so you can have it ready in no time or any time without compromising flavor.

But Wait, Why Canned Peaches?

Using canned peaches in this peach cobbler recipe doesn’t just save time, it’s also a great way to enjoy a peach cobbler year-round, even when fresh peaches are out of season. The peaches are already sweetened and ready to use, making this recipe incredibly convenient. The syrup from the canned peaches adds extra flavor and helps create a rich, juicy peach filling that’s perfectly balanced by the buttery topping.

If you prefer, you can use light syrup or unsweetened canned peaches for a healthier option, but the classic version with the syrup gives that indulgent, sweet flavor in the cobbler.

P.S. you can even use frozen peaches too! Just thaw and drain them well before using, as excess moisture can make the cobbler filling too runny.

Tips for the Best Southern Peach Cobbler:

Don’t Overmix the Batter: When mixing the topping, stir gently. Overmixing can result in a dense topping instead of a light, fluffy texture..
Check with a Toothpick: To ensure a perfect bake, check the topping by inserting a toothpick into the center of the batter. If it comes out clean, your cobbler is done! The fruit filling should be bubbling and the topping golden brown.
Let the Cobbler Rest Before Serving: Once done, let it rest for about 5 to 10 minutes. This will allow the fruit to set and make it easier to serve without the filling running. It also gives the cobbler time to cool slightly so it’s not too hot to enjoy!
Serve with Ice Cream: Though delicious on its own, it’s even better when paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The contrast between the warm cobbler and the cold ice cream is what you want!

P.S.S. Here’s another great tip: Use a Cast-Iron Skillet for an Extra Crispy Topping: For that authentic Southern touch, consider baking your peach cobbler in a cast-iron skillet. The skillet creates a beautifully golden, crispy crust that adds extra flavor and texture to your cobbler. Plus, it looks beautiful when served straight from the skillet!

There’s nothing quite like the comforting warmth of a homemade easy Southern Style Peach Cobbler to make any occasion feel special. With canned peaches making it easy to prepare, this recipe is perfect for busy days when you’re craving something sweet and satisfying. Whether it’s a weeknight treat or a dessert for a family gathering, this peach cobbler is sure to bring smiles to the table.

May the LORD bless your hands as you prepare, your table as you gather, and your food as you eat.
Amen!

Ingredients

2 cans of sliced peaches in syrup drained; juice reserved
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.

Prepare the Peach Filling:

In a medium bowl, combine the drained peaches, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice.
Stir well to coat the peaches in the sweet spice mixture.
Pour the peach filling evenly into the prepared baking dish.

Make the Cobbler Topping:

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter should be a bit lumpy.

Assemble the Cobbler:

Spoon the cobbler batter over the peaches in the baking dish.
( It's okay if it’s uneven. The batter will spread out as it bakes.)

Bake the Cobbler:

Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for about 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges.

Serve and Enjoy:

Once the cobbler is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream
