A warm, cozy peach cobbler using canned peaches in syrup, featuring a soft, syrupy filling and a golden buttery crust. A simple, classic Southern-inspired dessert that’s easy to prepare year-round.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 (15-ounce) cans sliced peaches in syrup
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour melted butter into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish as oven warms.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. Stir in milk and vanilla extract until batter is smooth and pourable (batter will be a little runny).
  4. Pour batter evenly over melted butter in the baking dish without stirring.
  5. Carefully spoon canned peaches with their syrup over the batter, spreading evenly. Optionally, drain about 1/4 cup syrup for a thicker filling.
  6. Bake for 40–45 minutes until the crust is golden and bubbly around the edges.
  7. Let the cobbler rest about 10 minutes to allow the filling to set before serving.
  8. Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Adjust the cinnamon amount to taste for extra warmth., Drain about 1/4 cup of peach syrup before layering for thicker filling if desired., Sprinkle 1 tablespoon sugar over the top before baking for extra crunch., If top browns too fast, tent loosely with foil for last 10–15 minutes of baking., Use fresh or frozen peaches as alternatives, adjusting sugar and moisture accordingly., For thicker filling, dissolve 1–2 teaspoons cornstarch in 1 tablespoon peach syrup and stir into peaches before layering., Leftover cobbler tastes better the next day after flavors meld.
