Ingredients You’ll Need

• 1 29-ounce can of sliced peaches in heavy syrup or 4 cups fresh or thawed frozen peaches
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar plus 1 tbsp for topping
• 1 cup milk
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted (Use unsalted for better control over the flavor!)
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional; adds a lovely warmth)
• Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for serving (because what’s better than warm cobbler with ice cream?)

How to Make It

1. Preheat your oven: Start by warming your oven to 350°F (175°C). This makes sure it’s hot enough to get that gorgeous golden crust.

2. Prepare the peaches: If you’re using canned peaches, you can just open that can and pour them in without draining. If you’re using fresh or frozen peaches, sprinkle them with 1/2 cup of sugar, and let them sit for about 30 minutes to get fabulously juicy.

3. Melt the butter: Grab a 9×13-inch baking dish and place the butter in it. Pop it in the oven for a few minutes until it’s fully melted. You’ll hear a satisfying sizzle as it melts!

4. Mix the batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 cup of sugar, baking powder, and salt. Then, gently stir in the milk until it’s all smooth. You’ll see it coming together beautifully.

5. Assemble the cobbler: Take your batter and pour it over the melted butter. Whatever you do, resist the urge to stir it! Spoon the peaches and their juices evenly over the batter — trust me, it’ll work its magic in the oven.

6. Add cinnamon and sugar: Sprinkle the top with the optional ground cinnamon and 1 tablespoon of sugar for that nice, sweet crunch.

7. Bake: Slide your cobbler into the oven and let it bake for 40 to 45 minutes. Watch for that golden top and the edges bubbling — that’s when you’ll know it’s ready!

8. Cool slightly before serving: Let it sit for a few moments, and then dig in! It’s best enjoyed warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream melting on top.

Kitchen Tips

• Time-saving trick: If you’re short on time, using canned peaches speeds things up significantly without sacrificing taste.
• Fix for common mistakes: If your cobbler ends up a little too wet, cranking up the oven to 375°F for the last 5-10 minutes can help it set perfectly.
• Flavor variation: Feel free to mix in some fresh berries or a squeeze of lemon juice for an extra layer of flavor.

Serving Ideas

This Easy Peach Cobbler is perfect for family dinners, a cozy night in, or even as a standout treat on your holiday table. Serve it warm right from the pan, and don’t forget those delicious toppings! A drizzle of cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream takes it to the next level. Imagine gathering around the table, everyone with a spoon in hand, happiness blooming over every mouthful.

Storing & Leftovers

• Storing: Keep leftovers in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. Just be sure to cover it tightly.
• Reheating: For the best texture, reheat slices in the oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes. This way, you can bring that warm, cozy feeling back!
• Leftover fun: Consider making a cobbler-inspired parfait by layering it with yogurt and granola for breakfast the next morning.
