Peach Cobbler

Print Recipe

A classic Southern-style peach cobbler featuring sweet, spiced peaches baked beneath a buttery, cake-like topping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 fresh peaches (about 6 cups), peeled and sliced
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar, divided
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 Tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 cup whole milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 °F (220 °C). Lightly butter a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, toss peaches with 1/2 cup granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Spread the peach mixture evenly in the baking dish and bake for 10 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, whisk flour, remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Stir in milk until just combined; do not overmix.
  4. Remove dish from oven and pour melted butter evenly over the hot peaches. Spoon batter over the butter, covering most of the surface (it will spread as it bakes).
  5. Reduce oven temperature to 375 °F (190 °C) and bake 35–40 minutes, or until topping is golden and filling is bubbling.
  6. Cool 10 minutes before serving warm, ideally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

  • Fresh, frozen, or well-drained canned peaches all work—adjust sugar if peaches are very sweet.
  • For extra crunch, sprinkle 1–2 Tbsp coarse sugar on the batter before baking.
  • Add 1 Tbsp bourbon or almond extract to the peach filling for flavor variation.
  • Cobbler reheats well; cover and warm at 325 °F (165 °C) for 15 minutes.
