My family’s favorite peach cobbler recipe.
Fresh summer peaches are one of the most precious gifts of summer. Like my other favorite peach recipes (Peach Crisp, Peach Jam, and Baked Peaches), this rustic peach cobbler does them the justice they deserve.
- This is a ridiculously easy cobbler recipe. I can’t overstate this enough. The batter is made with milk, flour, and sugar. You pour it into a hot baking dish with melted butter, then spoon the filling over the top and bake. SO. EASY.
- The crisp lid the cobbler forms on top; the sticky (in a good way), buttery topping; the sweet peaches beneath. This cobbler is so delicious, my sister asked for it in place of birthday cake.
- I learned this old-fashioned peach cobbler recipe from my grammy. Three generations have made it, and it’s as wonderful now as it’s always been. It’s a tried-and-true recipe that won’t let you down!

My Tips and Tricks for a Perfect Cobbler
- Use Ripe Peaches. Make sure your peaches are ripe and slightly soft. Ripe peaches make a better cobbler and are definitely worth the wait. To help move things along, place them in a brown paper bag on the countertop for a few days.
- Let it Rest. While it may be tempting to serve the cobbler as soon as it leaves the oven, you need to allow it to rest before serving it. As it cools, the juices from the peach filling will thicken into sweet, syrup-like perfection.
- Choose Your Own Adventure. As my Slow Cooker Triple Berry Crisp can attest, combining an array of fruits can create something truly magnificent. So, make it your own! Substitute some of the peaches for blueberries, blackberries, or other fruits that you love.
- Time for Toppings. While this easy peach cobbler recipe is delicious enough on its own, you can’t beat a piece of warm cobbler with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Or, try my family’s favorite: a pour of heavy cream! A little sprinkle of cinnamon would add a fun twist too.
How to Make My Peach Cobbler Recipe
Sift. Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add the Sugar. Mix until incorporated.
Stir in the Milk. Watch the batter form.
Melt the Butter. Butter makes the cobbler so delicious!
Pour in the Batter. Right over the butter. Do not stir!
Peel the Peaches. Cut an X onto the bottom of each peach, then drop them in pot of boiling water for 1 minute. Transfer to an ice bath to cool, then peel.
Make the Filling. Stir the peach slices together with sugar.
Spoon in the Peaches. Put them right on top of the batter.
Bake. Bake easy peach cobbler at 350 degrees F for 1 hour. Top as desired and ENJOY!

Ingredients
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 ¾ cup sugar divided
- ¾ cup milk
- ½ cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
- 3 pounds fresh ripe peaches* (5-6 peaches)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Sift together flour, salt, and baking powder.
- Mix in 1 cup sugar.
- Slowly stir in milk to make a batter.
- Melt butter in a deep casserole dish (about 3 quarts).
- Pour batter over melted butter. Do not stir.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Carefully add peaches (I use tongs) and boil for about 1 minute.
- Remove peaches from the pot and plunge them into a bowl of cold water to stop cooking. Skins can now be easily removed with fingers. Slice peaches into bite-sized pieces.
- In a clean bowl, Mix the peeled, sliced peaches and 3/4 cup sugar thoroughly and carefully spoon them over the batter.
- Bake for 1 hour. The batter should be golden brown on top before removing from oven. Top with heavy cream or vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- *Ingredient tip: Be sure peaches are ripe and slightly soft—place in a brown paper bag on the countertop for a few days to ripen if necessary.
- TO STORE: Refrigerate cobbler in an airtight storage container for up to 4 days.
- TO REHEAT: Rewarm leftovers in a baking dish in the oven at 350 degrees F or in the microwave.
- TO FREEZE: Freeze cobbler in an airtight freezer-safe storage container for up to 3 months. Let thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
