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. 🍑🥧☀️
