Peach Cobbler is a classic, easy-to-make summer dessert featuring fresh, caramelized peaches baked under a simple, buttery batter. This recipe combines sweet, juicy peaches with a golden, soft cobbler topping to create a comforting dish perfect for family gatherings or a casual treat.

Ingredients

For the Peaches

  • 7 tablespoons unsalted butter (100g)
  • 6 large yellow peaches, ripe (about 900g)
  • ¼ cup packed brown sugar (55g)
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar (50g)

For the Cobbler

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (120g)
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar (150g)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup milk (180mL)
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat and melt butter: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the butter into small pats, place them evenly in a 9×13-inch baking dish, and put the dish in the oven just long enough to melt the butter.
  2. Prepare peaches: Peel the peaches, halve them, remove the pits, and slice roughly into ¼ inch pieces. Transfer the peaches to a large skillet.
  3. Sugar peach mixture: Sprinkle both brown sugar and granulated sugar over the peaches in the skillet. Stir gently to combine and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and peaches start to soften slightly—about a few minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  4. Make cobbler batter: In a large bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and cinnamon. Pour in the milk and gently stir until just combined; avoid overmixing.
  5. Assemble cobbler: Pour the batter into the baking dish over the melted butter, spreading it evenly toward the edges without stirring the butter into the batter. Evenly spoon the peach mixture along with the juices over the batter, leaving some gaps to allow the topping to rise through.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes until the cobbler is golden brown on top and springs back lightly when pressed.

Notes

  • Don’t overcook the peaches on the stove; just cook until the sugar dissolves, as the peaches will continue cooking in the oven to avoid mushy texture.
  • This recipe is flexible with baking dish size: works well in a 9×13-inch or any 3-quart baking dish, two 8×8-inch pans, or even individual ramekins.
  • For extra flavor, sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top before baking by mixing 1 tablespoon granulated sugar with ½ teaspoon cinnamon.
