Easy Peach Cobbler Recipe
Ingredients you will need for your prep:
- 29 oz can of sliced peaches (drained, save the juice, you will need it) – You can also use fresh peaches if you prefer.
- 1 cup self-rising flour – If you only have all-purpose then you can substitute it but you will also need to have baking powder and salt in addition. See specific amounts below under the FAQ “Can I use all-purpose flour.”
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 stick butter
- 1 cup milk
How to make a peach cobbler!
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Melt your stick of butter and pour your melted butter over into a 13×9 baking dish.
In a large bowl mix together your milk, sugar, flour, and the drained syrup from your sliced peaches.
Pour the mixed ingredients over top of the butter.
Add the peaches layered on top of the batter but do NOT mix.
Bake in the oven for approximately 1 hour or until the crust rises and is golden brown.
Here is some quick step by step directions in video form to make this easy peach cobbler recipe.
Whether you use canned, fresh or frozen peaches will depend on the time of year and what you can find on hand, but we typically use canned because it makes it that much easier.
The directions you will find here are for using canned peaches, but you could easily use fresh for this recipe if it is peach season.
Whatever the season, this classic peach cobbler dessert will bring you all of the praises.

Like I said above, this dish is great by itself but even more delicious with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Of course, this is our favorite way to have it.
Let that ice cream melt over the hot cobbler for just a little bit and you have the perfect touch of warm and cold. Yuuuuuum!
How do you fix a runny peach cobbler?
Start with 1/2 teaspoon of cornstarch, mix with your dish and place back into the oven.
The secret to getting the cobbler to thicken is all about keeping it hot.
The heat will activate the corn starch and thicken the remaining juices.
Do you use salted or unsalted butter?
You will want to use unsalted.
Can I use all-purpose flour instead?
You can but you will need to add in 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt in addition to the flour.
How much does this serve?
Approximately 4 – 6 servings
Can you substitute peaches for other fruits?
Absolutely, this easy recipe would go great with other fruits like cherry, blueberry, raspberry, etc.

If I use 2 cans of peaches for peach cobbler will I have to double the other ingredients as well

If you use 2 15 oz cans then no you won't double the ingredients but yes if you use 2 large cans you will need to double the rest of the ingredients otherwise you will have too many peaches.

If I am using salted butter and all purpose flour, can I just add the baking powder and not the salt since the butter is salted?
Melissa

If I double this do I just use one stick of butter or do I increase it to two?
Melissa

You will need to double all of the ingredients, so you would need 2 sticks of butter.
