Ingredients
Peach Filling
- 5 fresh peaches peeled, cored, and sliced (about 4 cups)
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Cobbler Batter
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup milk

Optional for Serving
- Vanilla ice cream
- Whipped cream
- Fresh peach slices
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the sliced peaches, ¾ cup sugar, and salt.
- Cook over medium heat for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the peaches release their juices. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Place the butter into a 9×13-inch baking dish and transfer it to the oven while it preheats until the butter has melted.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Stir in the milk just until combined. Do not overmix.
- Carefully pour the batter evenly over the melted butter. Do not stir.
- Spoon the warm peaches and their juices evenly over the batter. Again, do not stir.
- Sprinkle the top generously with ground cinnamon.
- Bake the Peach Cobbler for 38–40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
- Let cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
- Enjoy warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired.
Notes
- Use ripe peaches for the sweetest flavor.
- Frozen peaches can be substituted after thawing and draining.
- Canned peaches work well—simply skip the stovetop cooking step.
- Avoid stirring the batter after adding the peaches to create the classic cobbler texture.
- Sprinkle coarse sugar on top before baking for extra crunch.
- Add a pinch of nutmeg for additional warm spice.
