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”.

Barb says
Took the cobbler to friends and it was marvelous, moist, warm. Will definitely make it again. SO easy!!
Jessica says
So glad that you liked this peach cobbler Barb! Thank you so much for sharing!
Annie says
The pastry part turned out really soggy and was dense and mushy. I followed the recipes exactly but it became a custard/jelly consistency. The pastry did not rise either. It still tasted alright but it’s definitely not a cobbler.
Jessica says
Hi Annie. I’m sorry this didn’t turn out for you. Could the flour have been older by chance? Or maybe too much liquid was still in the peaches? Or perhaps the oven temperature was different and it could have baked longer? Barb’s comment, next to yours, was on the same day and hers turned out ok, so I’m just trying to help decide why yours may not have turned out. But thank you for trying it!
Winniebear says
I’ve had a can of peaches I wanted to use up and I just happen to have all of these ingredients. After it’s cooked and cooled, would this freeze well?
Jessica says
Oh good!! You know, I haven’t tried it but I don’t see why not! Unless the top could become soggy afterward — but that would be my only thing to wonder about.
Brandi says
I used a 9 in round pie pan, and it required about an additional 30 minutes of cooking, but I know my oven doesn’t run a true 350, so I was ready for it to take longer. I wait until a wooden toothpick comes out clean from the center.. and then I also wait for the top to look a lovely golden brown. I used the one cup of white sugar, but I also threw in about a 1/3 cup of my brown sugar that is clumpy. I was hoping for those pockets of lovely flavour.. which I got! I love a dessert that is NOT sweet and overpowering… this was just that. In my books it was easy to make, and I’ll probably be adding this to my list of things I make all the time. Very Very good! Thank you so much
Jessica says
Hi Brandi! Thank you so much for sharing how you made this peach cobbler, and I’m so glad that you liked it! So fun to know that a pie pan worked for this recipe too!

Marlane says
Hi can it be made with margarine instead of butter? Thanks
Jessica says
Hi Marlane! To be honest, I haven’t tried margarine in place of butter. I wonder if it could make the peach cobbler more greasy but if you try it, we’d love to hear what you think!
Bee says
My family is lactose intolerant, so I used coconut oil in place of butter. It came out perfect!
Shirley Bowman says
I LOVED THE PEACH COBBLER . EASY TO MAKE.I DOUBLED THE RECIPE.THANKS.
Jessica says
I’m so glad you liked this peach cobbler Shirley, thank you!!
Bee says
So easy and quick! I had a giant jar of peaches and wasn’t sure what to do with them. This recipe is great – very fast, I had all the ingredients in my pantry already, and my family loves it. I added cinnamon, vanilla, and a little almond extract to the batter as well. It gave it a really nice flavor.
Jessica says
This is wonderful Bee! I’m so glad you liked this peach cobbler too! Thank you so much for sharing.
Amy M. says
This was wonderful! The texture was spot on, and it had the perfect amount of sweetness.
Jessica says
That’s so great to hear about this peach cobbler recipe, thank you so much for sharing and for the 5-star review!
Deanna says
Cobbler came out great but with the 1 cup of sugar I found it overwhelmingly sweet. Next time I’ll use only 1/2 cup. My peaches were in heavy syrup so that may have made it extra sweet. Using peaches in juice would have been a better option for my taste.
Jessica says
Hi Deanna, yes the heavy syrup tends to be really sweet so that could have been it. Did you remember to drain them? With heavy syrup, it may even be a good idea to rinse the peaches before adding to the cobbler if you think it’s going to be too sweet. 🙂
linda says
Can I double this recipe and use 2 cans of peaches
Jessica says
Hi Linda! If you do double it, I would make sure to use a larger baking dish. The recipe calls for 2 cups of peaches (without juice) so I’d just make sure your cans are about 2 cups each! I hope that helps!

Maria Kuechmann says
Can I double this recipe and use 9×13 baking dish? How long the baking?
Thank you.
Maria Kuechmann
Jessica says
I haven’t tried that but I don’t see why not. I’d just watch the baking process to make sure the top is fully cooked before removing from the oven. 🙂
Kim Grinder says
Great super simple recipe made it for my son’s birthday
Jessica says
So glad that you liked this peach cobbler recipe Kim, thank you!
Maria says
Do not use 8 tablespoons of butter,,, mine came up way too buttery. I like that it’s a quick recipe but I would probably only use half the amount of butter next time or about 5 tablespoons
Jessica says
Hi Maria! Too much butter? Is that really a thing? 😂 Just kidding… I do love butter but I understand that people can have different taste preferences. ☺️
