How to Make a Juicy Peach Cobbler
Crank the oven to a toasty 375F (190C) to get ready for some sweet magic.
Whip together flour, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt in a mixing bowl. Pour in milk and blend until silky smooth.
Drench the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish with melted butter, making sure it covers every inch.
Gently pour the batter over the melted butter without mixing. Scatter fresh peach slices across the top. Sprinkle a shower of brown sugar and cinnamon for extra excitement.
Send the dish into the hot oven for 40-45 minutes. Watch for a gorgeous golden-brown top and the batter bubbling around the juicy peaches.
Let the cobbler cool just a bit. Scoop out a generous portion and crown it with a dollop of vanilla ice cream or fluffy whipped cream. Dig in and enjoy the delicious reward!

Rustic Peach Cobbler Recipe
- Total Time: 50 minutes
- Yield: 9 1x
Description
Warm cinnamon-spiced peach cobbler brings Southern comfort to dessert tables. Buttery, golden crust cradles sweet peaches, inviting you to savor each delightful spoonful.
Ingredients
- 4 cups (800 g / 28.2 oz) peach slices (fresh or canned, drained if canned)
- 1 cup (240 ml / 8 fl oz) milk
- ½ cup (115 g / 4 oz) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup (200 g / 7.1 oz) granulated sugar
- ¼ cup (50 g / 1.8 oz) brown sugar
- 1 cup (125 g / 4.4 oz) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Preparation: Position the oven rack in the middle and preheat to 375F (190C) for optimal baking conditions.
- Batter Creation: Combine flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl. Whisk milk into the dry ingredients until a smooth, lump-free batter forms.
- Baking Dish Preparation: Melt butter and pour it evenly across the bottom of a rectangular baking dish, creating a rich, golden foundation.
- Batter Layering: Carefully pour the prepared batter over the melted butter, allowing it to spread naturally without mixing.
- Fruit Arrangement: Distribute peach slices across the batter, creating an appealing fruit layer that will sink slightly during baking.
- Flavor Enhancement: Sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon over the peaches, adding depth and caramelized sweetness to the dessert.
- Baking Process: Transfer the dish to the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes until the top achieves a golden-brown crust and the batter rises dramatically around the fruit.
- Finishing Touch: Remove from the oven and let the cobbler rest for a few minutes to allow flavors to meld and settle.
- Serving Suggestion: Serve warm, accompanied by a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream to complement the cobbler’s rustic charm.
Notes
- Butter Distribution Trick: Melt butter directly in the baking dish before adding batter to create a crispy, golden bottom crust that prevents sticking and adds rich flavor.
- Fruit Ripeness Matters: Select perfectly ripe, slightly soft peaches for maximum sweetness and juiciness; overripe or underripe fruits can compromise the cobbler’s texture and taste.
- Batter Mixing Technique: Avoid overmixing the batter to prevent tough, dense results; gently combine ingredients until just incorporated to maintain a light, tender crumb.
- Customization Options: Swap peaches with seasonal fruits like berries, apples, or cherries for a versatile dessert that adapts to different flavor preferences and dietary needs.
