Peach Cobbler: The Ultimate Summer Dessert

This classic Peach Cobbler is the ultimate comfort dessert, featuring sweet and juicy peaches topped with a golden, buttery crust. It’s incredibly easy to make and perfect for summer gatherings or cozy nights in. Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the perfect treat!

  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 1 9x13-inch cobbler

Ingredients

For the peach filling:

  • 5 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (or canned peaches, drained)

  • ¾ cup granulated sugar

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch

For the cobbler topping:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • ¾ cup granulated sugar

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted

  • ¾ cup milk

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

  • Prepare the peach filling: In a large bowl, toss the sliced peaches with sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.

  • Make the cobbler topping: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract until a smooth batter forms.

  • Assemble the cobbler: Pour the batter evenly over the peaches, spreading gently with a spatula but not mixing.

  • Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the crust comes out clean.

 

  • Cool & Serve: Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream!

Notes

  • Make it extra crispy: Sprinkle a little brown sugar on top before baking for a caramelized finish.

  • Using canned peaches? Reduce the sugar in the filling to ½ cup.

  • Want a gluten-free option? Substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.

  • Storing & reheating: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes or microwave for 30 seconds.
