Tips and Expert Tips to Make the Best Peach Cobbler:
You can. The great thing about canned though is that the peach slices may be a little softer compared to some ripe peaches that may not be very ripe and the sugary syrup that the peaches are in, in the can, tend to be sweeter. But it’s definitely an option to make this using fresh, especially if you have juicy peaches.
If you have leftover cobbler, you can store it in an airtight container or simply cover the dish with aluminum foil or plastic wrap and store on the counter, at room temperature, for the day. However, if it’s more than a day, store it in the refrigerator.
No. A cobbler has a “biscuit-like” or “pastry-like” topping, where a crisp has an oat or streusel-type topping that has a “crunch”.

Absolutely love how easy and quick this recipe is! I ended up baking for 40 mins, top was a golden brown but when I served it the inside was still doughy. Is that how it should be? Or should I have baked it a bit longer? Still tastes so good, thank you for sharing!
Jessica says
Hi there! Mmmm, I wouldn’t say it should be “doughy” although it may be soft inside, and not as browned/crisp as the top. But if the center looks similar to the photos I’ve taken an put in this post, it should be good! I hope that’s helpful!! So glad that you liked it!
Sharon F says
I have made this several times and I also add one teaspoon of vanilla and about 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon to the batter… my friend and family love it and it’s so easy!!! I also bake app. 1 hour..
Jessica says
So glad that you like this peach cobbler recipe too! Thank you so much for sharing!
Shari says
So quick and easy. I did have to bake it a little longer but was perfect. I’ll definitely make it again and use other fruits.
Jessica says
I’m so happy to hear that this peach cobbler worked for you too. Oh yes, I’ve used blueberries, blackberries… so many different fruits!
Roberta says
Update. Redid the recipe at 13/4 of origina and lowered the oven rack one rung. Baked for 45 minutes and it came out perfect.

I made the double portion version and after 40 minutes the dish was not close to being done. Ended up baking it for 52 minutes before being acceptable. The flavor was good and the texture was fine. Crust was brown but not burnt. I will use less butter next time.
Rebecca parker says
Can you use frozen fruits for cobblers as well like blueberries or strawberries?
Jessica says
Hi Rebecca! You can… but I’d just make sure the fruits are thawed before baking! I hope that helps.

This was quick, easy, and delicious! I had a box of individual sized diced peaches (the size you pack in lunch boxes) that were about to expire. I used 6 of the snack-sized cups, and threw in a full-sized can of sliced pineapple that also needed using up. I added 1 cap-full of pure almond extract, and sprinkled some pecans on top before baking. I also used vanilla soy milk because it’s all I had on hand. Absolutely fabulous!
Jessica says
Oh yum! I love hearing how you made this peach cobbler using those items! Thank you so much for taking the time to share, and I’m so gla that you liked it!
