Table of Contents
Ingredients
- 1 (15 oz) can sliced peaches in syrup (do not drain)
- ½ cup (1 stick) melted butter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup milk (any type)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- Optional: ½ tsp cinnamon or vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Prep the Oven & Dish
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease an 8×8-inch or 9×9-inch baking dish lightly with butter or nonstick spray.
2. Layer the Butter
- Pour the melted butter evenly into the bottom of the prepared dish.
3. Make the Batter
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, milk, and baking powder (add cinnamon or vanilla here if using) until smooth.
4. Assemble the Cobbler
- Carefully pour the batter over the melted butter—do not stir!
- Spoon the peaches and syrup evenly over the batter.
5. Bake
- Bake 40–45 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the edges are bubbly.
6. Cool & Serve
- Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Pro Tips
- Extra crispy crust: The butter will rise around the batter as it bakes, creating a caramelized, crispy edge.
- Adjust sweetness: Reduce sugar to ¾ cup if using peaches in heavy syrup.
- Fresh peaches: Swap canned peaches for 2 cups sliced fresh peaches + ½ cup water or juice.
Variations
- Berry cobbler: Use blueberries, blackberries, or mixed berries instead of peaches.
- Spiced version: Add ½ tsp nutmeg or cardamom to the batter.
- Crunchy topping: Sprinkle ¼ cup oats or chopped pecans over the peaches before baking.
- Citrus twist: Add 1 tsp lemon or orange zest to the batter.
Serving Ideas
- Top with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a drizzle of caramel.
- Serve warm with a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
Storage
- Fridge: Keep leftovers covered for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
- Freeze: Wrap unbaked cobbler tightly and freeze for up to 2 months. Bake from frozen, adding 10–15 minutes to the bake time.
This cozy cobbler is a foolproof crowd-pleaser—ideal for picnics, potlucks, or a weeknight dessert!
