Peach Cobbler

It’s summertime, which for me means something very important… It’s peach cobbler season! Peaches are finally back on grocery store shelves and riper than ever. While I can eat plain peaches all day long, I get the most excited to toss them into this easy peach cobbler recipe. Fresh peaches are chopped and tossed in a simple mixture of sugar and spices and baked beneath a layer of homemade biscuits that are seriously satisfying. This is the definition of a tried and true rustic recipe that I really just can’t get enough of. Oh, and it’s worth mentioning that although this recipe may be whipped up entirely from scratch, it’s so EASY!

Have any extra peaches on hand? Use them deliciously when you make easy recipes like Summer Fruit Crisp, these amazing Grilled Peaches and my favorite Frozen Peach Mojito!

How to Make Best Peach Cobbler

1. Prepare. Preheat the oven to 400°F and butter a 9×13 baking dish. Set aside.
2. Wash and dry the peaches, then slice them, but not too thin, reference the photo below. You will want to cut each peach into fourths by cutting down each side around the pit.
3. Toss them in a mix of ingredients. Add the peaches to a mixing bowl along with sugars, cinnamon, and salt. Gently stir so the peaches are all fully coated.
4. Make the topping! Mix together the flour, sugars, milk, butter, vanilla, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt until fully incorporated. You don’t want to see any dry streaks.
5. Now, you can use a spoon or your clean hands to just dollop/spread the topping over the peaches! Bake the cobbler for 30-40 minutes. It will be golden brown and bubbly when it’s ready.

Storing Leftover Cobbler:

This old fashioned peach cobbler can be stored with a clean kitchen towel over it at room temperature or refrigerated for up to 3 days. If you cover it tightly with a lid, Saran Wrap, or aluminum foil, it’ll cause the biscuits to become soggy. To reheat your cobbler, you can place each serving in the microwave to heat up for 10-20 seconds or until warm, or just leave it at room temperature.

You can freeze the baked cobbler for up to 2-3 months in an airtight container. Allow the cobbler to come to room temperature and bake at 300°F for 15-20 minutes or until heated through.

Ingredient Notes for Peach Cobbler

Flour – You can make this gluten-free by replacing the all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour.
Peaches – Fresh peaches are best!  But, you can use frozen/thawed peaches or canned/drained if you wish.
Spices – You can always add extra cinnamon and nutmeg to the batter if you want to add that flavor along with the sweetness of the sugar.
Milk – Any kind of milk should work well with this easy recipe.
Double It – You can double the peaches if you want more fruit. Please note you will not need to increase the batter as there is not any more room for the dough in the 9×13 baking dish.

Notes

NOTE:  I use and prefer salted butter for this recipe. You can use unsalted if that is your preference.
NOTE:  You do NOT need to take the time to peel peaches for peach cobbler.  The peaches cook down and become super soft and juicy, and you won't notice the peels or the "fuzziness"
NOTE:  If you cant find peaches, nectarines also work great!
