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”.

Tara says
I followed the recipe exactly and this turned out to be a Pinterest fail for me. It never fully baked, as there was so much butter bubbling up around all of the edges. I even used a slot spoon and tipped the pan to the side to drain out some of the excess, but the damage was already done.
Jessica says
Awww, I’m sorry it didn’t turn out! I make this about once every two months or so and I haven’t had a problem with it. I almost wonder if the can of fruit you used had a lot more liquid in it that others? It may not be anything you did! Or did you use a 9×9 baking dish, or shallow one? I’m not sure if that will make a difference or not. Just trying to think of why it may not have worked.
Adam says
Yea mine was really greasy. Used a 9×9 glass dish. Tried to cook it longer which helped a bit but made the pastry rubbery.
Jessica says
Hi Adam, I’m sorry yours turned out greasy. That has never happened for me so I’m not sure what it could be, although I’ve often wondered if some are using margarine instead of butter? Or possibly the fruit hasn’t drained as much as it should?
M says
Made it today as a last minute dessert (you were right about the heart palpitations). Came out great and everybody loved it. I did drain the canned peaches, though.
Anyhow, you’ve earned my lifelong gratitude, Jessica !
Jessica says
Haha!!! I’m so glad that everyone loved it! Thank you for coming back here to let me know!!
elofie says
Was happy to find this easy recipe. Used only one half the amount of sugar, buttermilk instead of milk and added a bit more fruit than called for – frozen blueberries and fresh peaches. Was so oo good! Thanks so much.
Jessica says
Hi there! I’m glad that you liked it and told us what you changed! What do you think would make this a 5-star recipe instead of 3? I’d love to hear!
DLee says
Thanks for printing this. This recipe has been in my family for 40+ years (my mom and aunts used to make this all the time when we went on camping trips to the mountains – we would pick wild blackberries and dewberries..!) but I could not remember the baking time & temp. So glad you had it here. Even though this is the ‘official’ recipe, we now use 1/2 the sugar and 1/2 the butter/oil and it turns out just fine. Its a very tolerant recipe. Oh yes, I am gluten free, and it works well with gluten free mixes or ‘make your own’ mix like I do. Yes, this is an excellent, quick recipe.
Jessica says
Hi there! I’m so glad that you found it then! I actually just made this again yesterday with peaches and retook the photos so I can update the recipe! Thank you for sharing!
Matt Taylor says
Such a yummy peach cobbler recipe! And you are right, so easy to make and ready in minutes! And I like how versatile it is with the fruit.

One of the easiest & most delicious desserts anyone can make!! We make it often, because it’s a family favorite!
Jessica says
That’s so fantastic to hear Natalie! Thank you so much. I’m so glad that you liked this peach cobbler, and thank you for leaving a review!
Lynn says
If you double the recipe and place it in a 9×13 dish, do you need to increase the cooking time?
Jessica says
I’d definitely check it at the same bake time and if the top is golden brown, it should be good!
Vicky says
This recipe was so easy and a hit in our house. I love peach cobbler!
Thank you for sharing!
Jessica says
Thank you so much Vicky, for taking the time to leave a note and 5-star review! I’m so glad that you all liked this peach cobbler too!
Joan says
I made this today and can’t believe how something so easy can be so delicious. Taking a few reviewers suggestions, I cut the butter and sugar in half. I used canned peaches but the sky is the limit on which fruit you use. This was a real treat for us. Thank you for sharing, Jessica.
Jessica says
Right? I love that you loved this too and thank you for sharing that you cut some items in half! Can’t wait to hear if you try other fruits!
Lance says
Great recipe. Reminded the kid of when they were growing up. Added a little cinnamon to the top that made it pop. Will be making this again.
Jessica says
Hi Lance! So glad you liked it! Is there anything specific you didn’t care for about the recipe that would make it 5 stars?
Cheryl says
Followed recipe. Came out perfect!
Jessica says
Thank you so much Cheryl! I’m so glad you liked this peach cobbler too!
Laura says
My great grandma gave me this recipe years ago. It’s the best way to make it! I came to confirm how I made it since it’s been so long. I might messed up by stirring the ingredients up with a spatula in the pan. We will see!!
Jessica says
Awww, I love that!! I hope it turned out delicious for you! Thank you for sharing!
Misty says
I LOVE this and so does my mom. She has me make it once a week for her lol. The only thing I changed was adding a little bit more peach juice from the can. I think im going to try blueberries next time.
Melanie says
Easy and turned out fantastic!
Kay says
This recipe was the best and easiest ever, turned out perfect. Will be one of my go to’s for company.

Yay!!! Thank you so much Kay! I’m so glad you liked it! Thank you so much for letting me know!
Biscuitboogie says
What size can of peaches yields the 2 cups?
Thanks!
>^..^<
Jessica says
Hi there! I believe the large cans (29 ounces) should be enough for the two cups!
Biscuitboogie says
Thank you kindly!
