A classic Southern peach cobbler with a buttery, cakey topping and juicy peaches baked to golden perfection. Easy to make and serves 8, perfect comfort food dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
  • 1 cup self-rising flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 29 oz canned sliced peaches in heavy syrup (1 large can, undrained)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional, for sprinkling)
  • (Optional fresh peaches: about 4 cups peeled and sliced, tossed with 1/2 cup sugar)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Place 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter in a 9×13-inch baking dish and melt completely in the oven.
  3. While the butter melts, whisk together 1 cup self-rising flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1 cup whole milk until smooth and lump-free.
  4. If using fresh peaches, peel and slice about 4 cups of peaches and toss with 1/2 cup sugar.
  5. If using canned peaches, leave the peaches undrained so the syrup stays with the fruit.
  6. Carefully remove the hot baking dish with melted butter from the oven.
  7. Pour the batter over the melted butter without stirring.
  8. Evenly spoon the peaches and their syrup over the batter without stirring.
  9. Optionally sprinkle cinnamon over the top.
  10. Bake 40–50 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  11. Let the cobbler rest on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Do not stir the batter once poured over melted butter to form cakey pockets around the fruit., Use a glass or ceramic 9×13-inch baking dish for even cooking and to monitor crust., Letting the cobbler rest sets the syrup and helps it slice neatly., Sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg before baking for warm spice flavor., Serve warm with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or heavy cream as desired., You can substitute peaches with blackberries, blueberries, or mixed berries using the same topping., Store leftovers covered in the fridge up to 3-4 days and reheat in microwave or oven.
