Easy Peach Cobbler
Who’s ready for summer baking and all the delectable fruit recipes that come with it?!
Summer is making its way here and I couldn’t be more ready. Days spent lounging on the deck with a cold drink in my hand and the warm sun beating down on me are the days I live for.
One of my other favorite things about summer is breaking out all my favorite summer recipes. This summer I’ll be starting with this simple, yet flavorful peach cobbler recipe. Made with frozen peaches, this is a recipe that can be thrown together any time of year, but who could resist making one as soon as the weather starts getting warm?
You can throw it together in under 10 minutes with just a few ingredients needed. Even the most novice of bakers could nail this recipe no problem. Make one just because, as a treat yo self kind of day, or double the batch and bring it to your next event.
What is Peach Cobbler?
Peach cobbler, we’ve all probably had it at least once or twice but what is it really? Is it pie, is it a cake? Is it both, who knows?
I’m here to end the confusion and say it is kind of like a mix between a cake and a pie. Cobbler is a dish consisting of a fruit or savory filling poured into a large baking dish and covered with a batter or biscuit, before being baked.
Some cobbler recipes resemble a thick-crusted, deep-dish pie with both a top and bottom crust. It comes out like a light cake-like crust surrounding the filling of your choice, and it’s truly to die for.
How is Cobbler Different Than Pie?
One way to differentiate between pie and cobbler is through the crust. Pies are encased in pastry, either just on the bottom or on both top and bottom.
Cobblers, on the other hand, are simply topped with some sort of baked pastry or dough. Aside from that big distinction, pies and cobblers can be very similar. I tend to prefer cobblers because they can be a lot quicker to assemble than a pie unless you’re working with a premade pie crust.
What Kind Of Peaches Should I Use For Cobbler?
What makes this cobbler so great is that you can really use any kind of peaches! That means no matter what time of year it is, you can always whip up this recipe to satisfy your sweet tooth.
I used frozen peaches when I made the recipe, but you can also use canned or fresh peaches too. If using canned, use just one 23-ounce can of sliced peaches in syrup (drain the syrup before using).
If you’re using fresh peaches, you’ll need about 3 peaches, or measure out 2 cups of sliced peaches. Both white and yellow peaches will work for this recipe too.
When is the Best Time To Make Peach Cobbler?
Any time is the best time to make cobbler! I mean it when I say there is truly no wrong time to make this recipe. Especially since, as stated above, you can use a variety of different peaches, so you never have to wait around for peak peach season to enjoy a dessert this good.
With this being a smaller quantity cobbler, it’s perfect to make for a little weeknight post-dinner treat. It’s a great size to feed a family of 4-6 and not have to worry about storing any leftovers.
Can I double the recipe?
Yes! If you want to make peach cobbler for your next party or backyard bbq, you can easily double the recipe and bake it in a 9×13 inch pan instead of a 9×9 inch pan.
The dish doesn’t need to be refrigerated so it’s perfectly safe to be set out on any party dessert table while people graze. If you somehow end up with leftovers, it will keep for up to 4 days before the crust begins to get too soggy.
How To Store and Reheat Cobbler
Peach cobbler is best served and enjoyed warm out of the oven. However, if you need to make this cobbler ahead, let it cool completely, cover and store it in the refrigerator for up to a week.
To reheat simply heat the oven to 350, cover the cobbler with foil and bake until it’s warmed through, about 15-20 minutes.
Tips For What To Serve With Peach Cobbler
This is summer’s favorite dessert, so naturally, it pairs perfectly with any and all of your go-to summer bbq dishes. I love to serve this up with my Amazing Pulled Pork Sandwiches, Caprese Pasta Salad, Elegant Meat and Cheese Board, and some Fresh Grapefruit Moscow Mules.
Doesn’t that just sound like the ideal chill summer weekend spread? While those are my favorites to pair with the cobbler, you really can’t go wrong with anything you choose to serve as the proceeding courses.
No matter what you serve before bringing out the peach cobbler, just make sure you don’t forget a scoop of ice cream to go with each slice served. It’s just not the same without it.
How To Make Perfect Cobbler Every Time
- Thaw your peaches: If you choose to use frozen peaches as I did, you’ll want to set them out to thaw first. This will allow the peaches to separate so you don’t a big clump. It also allows the juices from the peaches to come out and make for a better filling.
- Don’t Stir: I can’t say this enough, DO NOT STIR when placing each layer into the baking dish. It might sound weird but it’s what makes the cobbler come out just right. Stirring everything will not leave you with the same results, so just don’t do it.
- Broil for extra crispiness: If you like your crust to have that little bit of extra crunch, then I highly suggest letting it boil for just a few minutes before taking it out of the oven. It’s truly life-changing.

This made the most refreshing dessert last night! Perfect for spring!
I could eat bowls of this!! I love peach cobbler! It is always a hit with everyone!
my favorite summer treat, can’t wait to give this recipe a try!
I want to make this for a luncheon in February for Black History Month. Since it only uses 1/2 cup of flour, I was wondering if you knew of something to use as a substitute to make it gluten free? It looks amazing, and I dont want to compromise the flavor or texture of the crust, but I have 4 gluten sensitive people coming. I will make one as is but am hoping I can make a 2nd one for the special dietary needs. Thank you for sharing your wonderful recipes.
Maybe you could try almond or oat flour
I use King Arthur’s gluten free flour and it takes great. The flour ratio is 1:1.
What can i use as a substitute of egg?
You can make a vegan egg – 1 T flax meal and 3T water mixed together.
Also applesauce works well as an egg substitute. I use it in cakes for my egg allergy son.
Cobbler is one of my favorite summer desserts! Love it warm and topped with ice cream! I can’t wait to try adding peaches to the next one I make!
This peach cobbler is my families FAVORITE!!! I love how easy it is to make! 🙂
This is an excellent recipe!! It is easy, delicious and all of the ingredients are in everyone’s pantry. Thank you so much!
This was AMAZING and so easy to make!!
This Cobbler was quick, easy, and DELICIOUS!!!!! PERFECT!
After reading your bio bit while I was baking this dish, you’re “Tidy Mom” but with no children? I’m a bit deceived and I don’t like that. I understand being a pet mom, but to market to mom’s without being one, I guess you must really need those affiliate links and ads, because it’s hard to be a mom to a human. I dont think I’ll rate this dish as I’ve just ranted on the blogger.
Hi Jenn,
The blog you were reading is my moms. She is “Tidymom” and I am a co contributor as I am a journalism school graduate and enjoy helping her write posts. The bio you read was mine as the contributor for that post, not the bio to represent “Tidymom”. My mom is the loving mother to both me and my sister and embodies everything that you would expect from her blog name.
Jenn you only read the bio for the author of this post. Allison is my daughter and she helps me with the blog. After 11 years of runing the site all on my own, I welcome her fresh perspective and help in the kitchen. If you read the “about me” section for the blog, you would find all the info about me and that I have two daughters. TidyMom is a name the girls gave me years before I ever started blogging 😉
No mothering advice was given in this post, just a really delicious recipe, which I hope you enjoyed.
You are harsh and cannot fully read a simple bio. What a shame to be mean on a simple cobbler recipe.
I cannot with petty people! Get a life!
Such a Mean Spirit! (Shutter!)
Jenn- It’s quite clear who is who when reading the bios. Can’t believe you’d be so mean as to feel the need to comment. “I guess you really need” to feel good about yourself by picking on someone else. Such a shame. The cobbler is amazing!
Thanks so much Lisa!!
Great recipe, loved it, keep on blogging!!!
Jenn, you need some sun on your face to ease the tension. I wonder if you still have such venom after the year (hopefully one of gratitude for life)we’ve experienced. Such a waste of time to go out of your way to be mean. No matter the author, it’s a delicious cobbler recipe for those of us that needed one.
The cobbler is in the oven now and it was a snap to put together and I’m sure it will be delicious! Can’t wait to eat it! Yummy!
Is it AP flour or Self rising? Or does it matter?
All-purpose flour
OMG this peach cobbler is so delicious!!!! I’ll be making this again and again!!!
Excellent recipe and so easy to make. Have made two batches and both were hits with my guests! Now that apple season is here would they work with this recipe instead of peaches?
Super easy to make. Loved it!
Would this recipe work if I used a box of yellow cake mix instead of making the flour mixture?
Hi Brooke,
I’m sure that would work fine! The final product might be a little more like a dump cake than a cobbler, but either way you should still end up with a great dessert.
If you end up trying it with the cake mix be sure to let us know how it turns out.

How would I store this if I wanted to make it a day ahead???
Second this question!
Can I use canned/jarred peaches?
Drained?
Can this recipe be frozen and warmed up later? And if I can freeze it should I freeze it before I bake it or after?
This is the best peach cobbler recipe. Easy to make and super delicious!
Boo – I only have an8x8 pan but reeeaaalllly want to make this. Any advice to adjust?
you can use an 8×8 pan, it just may need 45 minutes in the oven – 45 mins or until batter is golden brown.
Hi! Can this be made with canned peaches just the same as fresh, peeled peaches?
Made this tonight with the last of our peaches. Sooooo yummy!
Hello can this recipe be used with canned peaches?
I made this yesterday to take to a socially distanced dinner at a friend’s house. It was delicious. I made it with fresh white peaches. Yum! She kept what was left (only 2 small pieces…..not surprising) so I’m making it again today to share with my kids. This time I’m trying it with canned peaches. I don’t have enough fresh ones left, but I might use them too! I have a feeling this is going to be my favorite go to summer dessert. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe.
Did it work using canned peaches?
Hi I love love this recipe . Ive made it a few times for my family and friends. I have to double this for a bbq this weekend . I am wondering if I can make this in a square pan or should i just make two 9×9. Its going to be for 12 people.
Use a 13×9 pan when you double it. 🙂
Can I make this in an aluminum pan? I am going to make a peach one and a blackberry one for the 4th of July. Will using an aluminum pan change the cook time?
This is a fabulous no-fail recipe. I have used it many times with peaches. Yesterday I substituted freshly picked blackberries. It was equally delicious.
Omg! Made this tonight in my cast iron skillet! All I can say is wow! Amazing! Thanks for the simple, delicious recipe! 💚
I’m planning on using fresh peaches. Should I peel the peaches? Thanks
you don’t have to peel the peaches, but you can if you’d rather have them peeled
Can it be baked at 400 oven
Am i reading the directions properly butter in pan first then flour mixture and peaches on top? Will the flour mixture magically find its way to the top to creat a cobbler?
yep!!!
Please disregard my question. Found the video. Its more of a batter vs a crust … thats where the “magic happens! Thanks – picking up 25lbs of peaches in a few hours and cannot wait to make this recipe in addition to other peach themed selections … also plan to share a few peaches as well
This is AMAZING and so easy!!!!
I made this for the second time and it’s just so delicious!! So easy to make. Thanks for a terrific recipe😁 I used fresh peaches both times and doubled the recipe.
A little too sweet, I would cut back on sugar the next time
Do you think it would be yummy, kind of like a crumble, by adding oats into the peach mix?
Do we peel the fresh peaches??
you don’t need to peel them, but you can if you want them peeled.
This was SO easy to make!! We found it a bit too sweet, but I had some very sweet and ripe Elberta peaches. I will definitely make this again, trying it with Mangos when in season here. Thx Mom for a winner!
like someone asked can canned peaches work
Still waiting on the reply if canned peaches work for this recipe. If so, do we drain or keep the syrup.
I can’t wait to try this recipe.
You can use canned, fresh or frozen. 🙂
Yes, drain the juice, just drink it!!!!
canned peaches are going to be sweeter, so you will want to cut the sugar down if you use them and be sure to drain the juice. Fresh or frozen peaches are ideal, but canned will work in a pinch 😉
Thank you, Corrine. I will try it this evening!
Very simple and delicious!
I brought the doubled recipe cobbler to a potluck. It was a big hit! & tasted and looked great! Thank you. This is a keeper.
Is this salted or unsalted butter?
You can use either- what ever you have on hand. But if you’re shopping and have the option, unsalted would be the first option.
I used self rising Flour and it came out great!
Made it, ate it…went back for seconds! Fantastic super easy recipe. I doubled it so it took almost an hr to bake but worth it. Served with homemade peach sorbet.
Yum Second time I made this and it is a hit and so easy to put together
Made last night it was amazing. So easy and quick. I used canned peaches and less sugar. I drained out the juice and added lemon peel and a dash of lemon juice. Turned out delicious! Thank you Tidy Mom.
