When I need a quick, simple dessert, I reach for my Easy Peach Cobbler. With only five basic ingredients, it comes together in minutes and delivers that comforting, classic peach flavor—especially delicious with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of homemade whipped cream.
Many people hesitate to make peach cobbler at home because peeling fresh peaches can be messy and time-consuming. When using fresh-picked peaches, we blanch them in boiling water to loosen the skins, then pit and slice them into wedges. The process can get sticky, and the peach juice often makes a mess on counters and hands. It also warms up the kitchen, which isn’t ideal during hot summer months. And in winter, fresh peaches aren’t available or lack the same flavor.
That’s why this recipe uses canned sliced peaches for a fast, reliable cobbler any time of year. Canned peaches remove the peeling hassle and keep the kitchen cool while still giving you sweet, tender fruit in every bite.
Easy Peach Cobbler Recipe
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 cup self-rising flour (or substitute, see below)
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup milk
- 2 (15-ounce) cans sliced peaches in light syrup
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Drain one can of peaches and discard the syrup. Drain the second can into a bowl and reserve that syrup.
Put the melted butter into an 8 x 11-inch baking dish. To save a dish, place the stick of butter in the dish and microwave it until melted.
In a medium bowl, combine the self-rising flour and 1 cup sugar. Stir in the milk and the reserved syrup from the second can of peaches until just combined.
Pour the batter over the melted butter in the baking dish, spreading it evenly. Arrange the drained peaches on top of the batter.
Bake for about 1 hour. The cobbler is done when the batter rises around the peaches and the crust is golden brown and set. Serve warm with homemade whipped cream or ice cream.
Self-Rising Flour Substitute
If you don’t have self-rising flour, make your own: combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, and a pinch (about 1/8 teaspoon) of salt. The cobbler will taste the same, though this adds a small extra step.
Homemade Whipped Cream
Fresh whipped cream is an ideal topping and is simple to make. Chill a metal mixing bowl and the beaters in the freezer for at least 20 minutes so everything is cold.
Pour 2 cups cold whipping cream and 4 tablespoons sugar into the chilled bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until soft peaks form—about 4 to 5 minutes. Watch carefully to avoid overwhipping.
Top slices of warm peach cobbler with a spoonful of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream and enjoy.
Enjoy! Mary
