Classic Peach Cobbler 🍑🥧☀️ Juicy, Buttery, and Comfortingly Old-Fashioned

This classic peach cobbler features tender, juicy peaches baked under a golden, buttery topping.

It’s the perfect summer dessert — simple, cozy, and even better when served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients (Serves 8)

For the peach filling

  • 6–7 large ripe peaches (about 6 cups, peeled and sliced)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp nutmeg
  • 2 tsp cornstarch

For the batter

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 cup milk (whole or 2%)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted

Optional topping

  • Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream

Step 1: Preheat oven

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

Step 2: Prepare the peaches

In a large bowl, combine peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch. Stir gently until peaches are evenly coated. Pour into prepared baking dish.

Step 3: Make the batter

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in milk and melted butter until just combined (batter will be thin).

Step 4: Assemble cobbler

Pour the batter evenly over the peaches (do not stir). The batter will rise around the fruit as it bakes.

Step 5: Bake

Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peaches are bubbling.

Step 6: Serve

Let cool slightly before serving warm. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.

Flavor Variations

  • Add a splash of bourbon or rum to the peaches for depth
  • Mix in fresh raspberries or blueberries with the peaches for a fruity twist
  • Use almond extract in the batter for a subtle nutty flavor
  • Sprinkle coarse sugar over the batter before baking for a crunchy top

Pro Tips

  • If using canned peaches, drain them well and reduce sugar slightly
  • For frozen peaches, thaw and drain before using
  • Let cobbler cool for 10 minutes before serving so the filling thickens
  • Best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers reheat well in the oven or microwave

Final Thoughts

Classic Peach Cobbler is juicy, buttery, and timeless — the kind of dessert that feels like summer in every bite. Serve it warm with ice cream for the ultimate comfort treat.

Slice it. Scoop it. Taste the sunshine. 🍑🥧☀️
