Ingredients for Easy Peach Cobbler
The ingredients for this peach cobbler with canned peaches are simple and you probably already have them on hand to make this easy peach cobbler recipe! If not, you can grab them at almost any grocery store.
Here are some notes about the key ingredients for this peach cobbler with canned peaches recipe:
- Butter – Salted or unsalted butter works for this recipe. If salted, you may want to cut back a bit on the extra salt added but I’ve used both unsalted salted and like how both turn out.
- Flour – All-purpose flour is recommended for this recipe since I use baking powder as well, to help it rise.
- Milk – I prefer to use whole milk when baking but you can use your favorite type.

Step-by-Step Instructions
- Melt your stick of butter right in the baking dish you plan to make your cobbler in. (An 8×8 or 9×9 glass baking dish is ideal for this — or double the batch and make it in a 9 x 13 baking or casserole dish.)
- In a separate mixing bowl, pour in the flour, sugar, milk, baking powder, and salt.
- Mix together until evenly combined.
- Pour flour mixture batter on top of melted butter. (DO NOT MIX!)
- Place canned peaches (drained) on top of batter and butter. (DO NOT MIX!)
- Bake in the oven at 350 degrees F. for 35-40 minutes, and when the top is golden brown.
- Remove from oven and serve warm.
What to Serve with Peach Cobbler
This peach cobbler is delicious by itself but if you’d like to serve a little something extra with it, you should consider:
- vanilla ice cream
- caramel or butterscotch drizzle
- sugared strawberries
- sprinkle of cinnamon
- vanilla sauce we use in bread pudding
- sprinkle of brown sugar
- whipped cream
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”.
Storage Instructions:
Room Temperature: You can store peach cobbler at room temperature, covered, for 1-2 days.
Refrigerate: To make peach cobbler last longer, it’s best to refrigerate in an airtight container, or covered, for up to 5 days.
Freeze: You can even freeze peach cobbler in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Allow it to thaw in the refrigerator when ready to enjoy.

Pam Hurst says
Best tasting peach cobbler there is when you want quick and easy!!!!
Jessica says
Yes!! I totally agree!! Thank you so much for sharing!
Pam says
My favorite! What is eat way to reheat for optimal texture?
Jessica says
Hi Pam! That’s a great question. I usually just microwave leftovers… but I’ve been known to eat it cold too. 😂
May says
I made this exactly according to the instructions. It was good, but it definitely could’ve used cinnamon and vanilla extract. I will make it with those additions next time. Thanks for the recipe.
Leslie says
I made this ALMOST exactly as written -I added vanilla, nutmeg and ginger (cause I like a little spice) it was delicious. Batter formed a wonderful cake- pudding like topping. It is definitely a keeper. I loved it with canned peaches and I will try it with other fruits now. Really delicious thank you 🙂
Susan Kilgore says
Best cobbler ever and so easy! I added cinnamon, nutmeg and pinch of cloves to the peaches and 1/2 peach juice 1/2 milk. Turned out spectacular! Thank you
Jessica says
Yum!! Adding those other spices to this peach cobbler sounds amazing! Thank you so much for sharing!
Julie Crawford says
Very easy and quick! In the oven as we speak. I will let you know how it turns out..,
Dawn Imes says
Can frozen peaches be used?
Jessica says
Hi Dawn! I haven’t tried frozen peaches in this but I don’t see why they wouldn’t work. HOWEVER, frozen peaches can have water/liquid in them, due to freezing. So I would thaw your peaches and discard any water before baking. Too much liquid could cause this cobbler not to turn out as you’d hope.
Lu S. says
Can you substitute the peach juice for the milk
Jessica says
Hi Lu. I haven’t tried that but wouldn’t really recommend it as they have two different consistencies/flavors, etc. But if you try it, I’d love to hear how it goes!
Susan Kilgore says
I went half milk and half peach juice and it came out perfect!
Jessica says
That’s so great to know! Thank you so much for sharing!
Kat Z says

THIS Cobbler was a big hit tonight.I chose it because i didn’t have any Bisquick. COOKED for 45 minutes, used canned peaches and used milk with heavy whipping cream mixed together! IT REALLY was delishous!

Donna says
Made peach cobbler, it was a hit will make it again
Jessica says
So happy that you liked this peach cobbler too Donna! Thank you so much!
Ellen Mugrage says
It could use some vanilla. I would also reduce the butter as the bottom was very moist. Almost not done consistence.
I did add 5 more minutes for a total of 45 min. The top was getting over cook so didn’t want to add anymore time
NinjaRuth says
I made this in a cast iron frying pan. I heated the pan in the oven while the oven preheated, then put my butter in the pan and let it melt and get just a little brown before pouring the batter in. I love a brown crust and I think this method helps with that. I added vanilla and cinnamon to my batter and sprinkled a little bit of raw sugar on top just before taking out of the oven.
Kirsten Troilo says
I’m getting ready to make this yummy looking recipe, but wonder if your measure of peaches is sliced? I have a TJ’s 23oz jar of halves. Would like to use as many/much fruit as the recipe could handle. Thanks!
Jessica says
Hi Kirsten! I’d personally slice the halves, so they’re easier to eat in the cobbler. So yes, measuring after slicing may be easier as well. 🙂 I hope that helps!
Erin says
I’m not really sure how to rate this because while the batter taste, delicious , I cooked it for 40 minutes and it’s still very liquid. Unfortunately I can’t wait for it to get more firm as I had to leave for an appointment. Do you know why I didn’t firm up? I did use almond flour, which shouldn’t make a difference since I swap that out all the time in recipes.
Jessica says
Hi Erin. Did you remember to drain the peaches by chance? That’s one thing I’d check, as liquid from the peaches could be the problem. Or was the rack in the oven, lower instead of in the middle of the oven? Do you happen to know if the correct measurement of milk was used? Was it mixed together before baking? Those are just a few things that come to mind if it remains as a liquid. I hope that helps narrow it down.
Mr Wright says
did you drain them first ?
Nadine Garwood says
I have a can of blueberry pie filling? Do you think I could use that since I can’t really drain it?
Jessica says
Hi Nadine! This is a great questions. Unfortunately I haven’t tried this but I would love to try it myself, so if you do try it, I’d love to hear how it turns out!
Vicki Hughes says
Made this today and it is delicious!! I added a little cinnamon to it for extra flavor.
Love this recipe!!!
Jessica says
So glad that you like this peach cobbler Vicki! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review and share!
Emily says
Hi! Wondering if 1 can of peaches drained will provide 2 cups?
Thanks 🙂
Jessica says
Hi Emily! I like to get the “big” can (29 ounces) just to be safe.
Lyndi “Mim" Blair says
Reasking previous ?…you state flour but don’t say if it’s either Self Rising or All Purpose. Thank you
Jessica says
All purpose flour is what we used!
Carrie says
I made this tonight and it was easy and good! Thank you!
