Do you have a can of peaches in your pantry and a craving for something sweet?
This easy Southern peach cobbler is the kind of dessert you can throw together on a weeknight for fun.
I love it because I don’t have to stand there and peel and pit peaches.
Just mix up a can with a few ingredients and pop it in the oven.
The warm, gooey peaches go perfect with the golden, buttery topping.
I always serve mine with a scoop of vanilla ice cream…but you can also grab a spoon and go for it straight out of the pan!
Either way, it’s cozy, simple, and so good.
What You Need to Make Peach Cobbler
Here’s everything you’ll need to make this easy peach cobbler without making an extra trip to the store:
- All-purpose flour – The base for that golden, fluffy cobbler topping.
- Granulated sugar – Sweetens both the batter and the peach filling.
- Milk – Gives the batter a smooth, pourable texture.
- Unsalted butter – Adds rich, buttery flavor and helps create crispy edges.
- Baking powder – Gives the topping a nice rise and lightness.
- Salt – Balances the sweetness and enhances flavor.
- Ground cinnamon – Adds warm, cozy spice to every bite.
- Sliced peaches in syrup – The star of the show, bringing sweet, juicy peach flavor without any peeling or pitting.
How to Make Peach Cobbler
1. Heat Things Up
Set your oven to 350°F so it’s ready to go when you are.
A preheated oven means that cobbler topping gets golden and perfect right on time.
2. Butter the Dish
Pour your melted butter straight into a 9×13-inch baking dish.
3. Mix the Batter
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and milk until smooth.
A few little lumps are fine, just make sure there aren’t any dry pockets.
4. Pour and Don’t Stir
Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the dish.
Resist the urge to mix!
It’s the separation that creates that layered cobbler magic.
5. Add the Peaches
Spoon the peaches and their syrup evenly over the batter.
The syrup soaks into the topping as it bakes, making it sweet and tender.
6. Sprinkle the Cinnamon
Dust the top with ground cinnamon for that warm, bakery smell.
It’ll make your kitchen smell like you’ve been baking all day!
7. Bake It Up
Pop it into the oven for 45–50 minutes, until the top is golden brown and bubbling around the edges.
You’ll know it’s ready when the smell has you hovering by the oven door.
Let it sit for 5–10 minutes after baking so the juices thicken up and you don’t burn your mouth on molten peach lava.
