Peach cobbler is on my summertime favorites. Every summer growing up, my mom, grandma June, and I would pile into the car and drive a few miles up into Michigan to buy fresh peaches from our favorite orchard. I loved walking into the old barn where they displayed all the fruits and vegetables. It always smelled so delicious. Whenever I smell peaches I think of our trips up to that orchard.
When we would return home with our glorious bounty of fruit, my mom would make peach cobbler. Oh, how I love that peach cobbler. I don’t even need a plate to eat it– I would (and still do) just grab a fork and eat it straight out of the baking dish. Why dirty a perfectly good plate? Plus, it’s my way of being more “green”.
A couple weekends ago my mother-in-law brought us peaches from a farm stand, so naturally I had to make peach cobbler. And, naturally, I’m going to share the recipe with you. Sharing is caring, you know.
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Peel and cut up the peaches. (Some people have told me they didn’t peel the peaches and the recipe turned out fine, so peeling is up to you.) Place the peaches in a greased, 2-2.5 quart baking dish.
Add 1/4 – 1/2 cup sugar, depending on the sweetness of the peaches. Stir and set aside.
Cream 1/2 cup butter and 1 cup sugar. I love using my mixer with this special paddle to cream ingredients.
If you don’t have self-rising flour on hand, you’ll need to mix together 1 cup all purpose flour, 1 1/4 tsp. baking powder, and 1/8 tsp. salt in a separate bowl. (I’ve had these mixing bowls for years, and I love them.)
If you have self-rising flour, use one cup instead of having to make the all purpose flour-baking power-salt mixture.
Add self-rising flour OR flour mixture.
Add 1 egg and 1 tsp. vanilla extract. Blend well.
(Special scraping paddle found here.)
Put topping mixture on top of peaches. It doesn’t have to be perfect because it will melt in the oven.
If your peach cobbler comes out too mushy or runny it means that your peaches may have been too ripe, producing extra juices which caused the topping to get mushy.
I’ve also found that the topping can turn out somewhat mushy if the topping ingredients are old.
This delicious peach cobbler recipe is a summertime favorite!
- 2 c. fresh peaches peeled and sliced
- 1/4 - 1/2 c. sugar depending on sweetness of peaches
- 1/2 c. butter softened
- 1 c. self-rising flour OR mix together 1 c. all-purpose flour 1 1/4 teas. baking powder, 1/8 teas. salt
- 1 c. sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teas. vanilla
-
Preheat oven to 350°. Place peaches in greased 2 qt. baking dish. Sprinkle 1/4-1/2 c. sugar over peaches. Cream butter and 1 c. sugar together. Stir in flour. Add egg and vanilla. Mix well. Spoon mixture over peaches. Bake for 35-45 minutes or until light brown on top.

Ok… back to your pie…It looks so YUMMY!

I had some peaches go from green to mush really fast. So..I found your recipe on Pinterest. It was the best cobbler I ever had. I added just a dash of cinnamon to the top. Thanks!
Liz Luscomb says
I don’t know if anyone has answered, but the band to that song, “Peaches” is called The Presidents of the United States of America. I haven’t heard that song in ages! LOL. Takes me way back. 😀
Shelli says
Followed the recipe using all purpose flour. Perfection!
Melissa says
Very rarely do I find a classic recipe that surpasses one of my Nana’s…and your peach cobbler has done it! I tried it because I didn’t feel like making pastry, and I’m SOOOO glad I did! This is my new go-to cobbler recipe!
Stephanie says
I made this cobbler for my family and it did not last the week. Thank you for a delicious recipe. I had a favorite, go-to recipe but lost it in a recent move. I had never made a pastry top before and yours was so easy and delicious. Thank you again I have found a new peach cobbler.
Kentuckylady717 says
Love peach cobbler, you can also use BISQUICK….works great…
No Christy , cake flour is not called self-rising flour . I have never used it in a recipe like this, but I suppose you could…..I love bisquick, and use it in many recipes……so easy to use….and makes great biscuits too…..
Amy C says
Presidents of the United States of America!!
Christy Spurlock says
I just found your blog and your recipe for Peach Cobbler. Just got home from the farmer’s market with peaches and am now eating Peach Cobbler. Truly the best recipe I’ve ever had that I will save and make again. Love your blog.
Melanie says
I made this today and it was a dud. I don’t know what I did wrong. I used 2 fresh white and 2 fresh yellow peaches. I left the peel on as it didn’t say to peel them. The top of the cobbler got a great golden crust. The inside……… Yuck. It was a watery gooey mess. I left the cobbler baking for an hour and it seemed as though the inside was still raw. The peaches were still firm and I cut them pretty skinny. It tasted ok but looked gross.
Chelsea @ two twenty one says
Sorry it didn’t turn out well for you. You can peel the peaches or leave the skin on– I’ve had people do both and it turned out fine both ways. Your peaches may have been too ripe, producing extra juices which caused the topping to get mushy. I also found that the topping can turn out somewhat mushy if the topping ingredients are old. Hope this helps and you’ll try it again!
lillian mittner says
can fresh peaches that have been frozen and thawed be used
Chelsea @ two twenty one says
Yeah, my mom has used them. Just make sure they aren’t too juicy or they’ll make the topping mushy.
Sherri says
stupid question in what reference is a 2 qt baking dis to a 9×13 pan? should I double recipe or what?
Chelsea @ two twenty one says
I would double the recipe for a 9×13 so you have enough batter to cover the peaches.
Wendy says
I just put this in the oven and it already smells delicious!! One question though-the batter didn’t completely cover the peaches. Is that ok? In your picture it was completely covered but there just wasn’t enough batter to cover mine. Just wondering because it still looks good. Can’t wait to taste it!!!!!
Chelsea @ two twenty one says
Yeah it should melt and cover most of the peaches. If you’re using a dish similar in size to what I used it should cover all the peaches. Next time try putting the batter on thinner rather than thicker. Hope it turned out well!
Jennifer says
I am looking for a peach cobbler to make for a friend who is diabetic. I am going to try this using Splenda. Hoping it turns out very well.
Molly says
Hands down the BEST cobbler I’ve had. I would love to try this using other fruits. It’s perfectly crispy on the top and gooey at the center.. I had cobblers that turn into a cake-like texture and this definitely avoids that. 5 stars!
Anna D says
Really good! I. Used the whole half cup of sugar for the peaches since they were tart and cut the sugar in the topping by 1/4 cup. It was still a bit too sweet for me especially since we like to enjoy ours with a side of vanilla ice cream 😉 so I might cut the sugar in the batter by a whole 1/2 cup next time.
Melanie says
Made this tonight it is so good!!! Thanks for the recipe
Sandy says
Can you use can peaches or peaches in frozen section of grocery store?
Alisa says
Can canned peached with the syrup drained by used without it getting mushy? It looks so pretty!
Chelsea @ two twenty one says
I’ve never used canned peaches but you can try and see! My mom has used frozen peaches and the cobbler turns out fine.
Carol says
I grew up in Elkhart and live in Anderson and can relate to the trips to Michigan to fruit stands and self picks. One can not buy peaches in a grocery! Thanks for the post, cute blog. I am painting my half bath mint green.
Chelsea @ two twenty one says
Yay, another Michiana person! I hope you like the mint green in your bathroom!
whitney says
Excellent! I used frozen peaches that were thawed and drained since it’s not peach season yet. Everyone loved it and very easy to make!
Chelsea @ two twenty one says
So glad you liked it!
Sue says
Made this today and oh my goodness!!! My husband said it should be illegal! It’s amazing!
Chelsea @ two twenty one says
So glad you both liked it! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
Mimi says
I made the peach cobbler with all purpose Gluten Free flour and it was wonderful!
Thanks 🙂
Debbie McIntire says
Made this day for the 4th of July. It’s amazing!!! Crust is like crunchy edges on pound cake you always want to pinch off and eat put on top of peaches! For a glass 9.13 pyrex, I doubled the recipe and cooked it closer to 40 minutes. For last 6 minutes I covered it with foil to keep crust from getting too brown. Crust did bubble during cooking but bubbles diminish once taken out of the oven. We loved it!
Martha Hodge says
This is fantastic!! I have never reviewed a recipe online before. My son just graduated college and has returned home and decided to try this recipe with some peaches that were given to us. I’m almost embarrassed to say that I have made this 3 times in 2 weeks with plans to make it again tonight – considering there are only 2 of us in the home, that says something. Twice I scattered a few blueberries I had on hand on top of the peaches and the third time, I added a few blackberries. This cobbler couldn’t be easier and tastes great. Thank you for sharing!
Kathy Ryan says
I made this cobbler last night for Family Dinner. You are correct-it IS the most amazing! I made a sound with every bite! It did double the amount of peaches I used. Thank you,
Ingrid Durham says
Sorry to say, but the topping on this cobbler was WAY to sweet, even my teenager thought so. It was like candy. If I were to make it again I would use half the sugar in the topping.
Lisa says
The top tastes like sugar cookie. Very sweet and rich. I ended up baking mine for 45 minutes, and after finding a runny mess under a crisp shell, turned the heat down to 300 degrees and baked another 20 minutes. It turned out perfectly. Very yummy-thanks for a great recipe!
Lisa says
I should also note that I doubled the recipe (adding an additional cup of peaches) and baked it in a 9×13 dish.
Melanie Hanni says
Our family loved this cobbler. We used fresh peaches off our tree and added 1 cup fresh raspberries, the filling with sugar cookie crust was excellent. Topped with ice cream. I have never cared for peach cobbler till now.
Bridget Hemmeline says
This has become my go to cobbler recipe. My family loves this!! I made blackberry cobbler yesterday.
I make mine in a cake pan, the dough is a little thinner and gets crispy, my family likes it that way. I do cook mine about 10 min longer.
Great recipe, thank you!!
Bridget Hemmeline says
Also, it calls for 1/4 – 1/2 cup of sugar sprinkled on top of the fruit. I did not do that, I just sprinkled a pinch over the fruit. I didn’t want it to end up to sweet.
Shon says
Would this work with canned peaches as well? Looks so delish!

Christina says
This was my first time making peach cobbler. I found this recipe on pinterest. It looked easy so I tried it. This was exactly the peach cobbler I didn’t even know I was looking for!!! Just the right amount of everything. The topping was a little crunchy/buttery and sweet. My husband and I loved this!! Will definitely be making this again.
Larissa says
How many servings does this make? It sounds delicious! Me and my sister always used to make peach cobbler together 🙂

Thank you, I have recently been searching for info approximately this subject for ages and yours is the greatest I’ve found out so far. But, what in regards to the conclusion? Are you sure about the supply?
Amie says
Made this today and it turned out great! My son said it deserves five stars! The only difference I did was I sprinkled cinnamon over the peaches, but everything else was the same. Thank you for a great recipe!?
Chelsea @ two twenty one says
So glad you, and your son, liked it!
Lindsey says
This was A great recipe!!! Thank you!! It was A hit!

The web page design is actually great, the content articles is at simple fact wonderful
Jane says
I nearly didn’t make this today because I always check comments first to see if the recipe worked, if it needed tweaks, how it tasted etc and all I found were “sounds good” “have to try this soon” “reminds me of what mom/grandma made”….FINALLY I found a couple comments from people who actually took the time to make it so I gave it a try. All I had were canned peaches (from a store, my home canned ran out months ago) so what I did was use brown sugar in the peaches but I also added 2 tablespoons of cornstarch and maybe 1/4 cup of the juice and poured that over the peaches. Made the batter as per the recipe and all I can say is wow…this is soo good! I can see myself making this again and again with other fruit too!
