Ingredients Needed
Here’s what you’ll need to make this Bisquick Peach Cobbler:
- Bisquick Original Pancake & Baking Mix – Keep in mind that the Bisquick mixture is key to an effortless and consistent cobbler topping. Maintain its shelf stability by storing it in an airtight container, and always spoon the mix into the measuring cup instead of scooping to prevent the dough from becoming too dense.
- Canned Peaches – When using canned peaches, make sure to drain them well before adding to the recipe; this will prevent excess liquid from making the cobbler soggy. Opt for peaches canned in juice rather than syrup for a less sugary filling.
- Cinnamon – A little cinnamon goes a long way in enhancing the flavor of peaches. Adding this warm spice to both the peach filling and the cobbler mix will create a harmony of flavors that intensifies the coziness of this classic dessert.

Substitutions
Sometimes substitutions are necessary because of ingredients that are unavailable or needed for dietary restrictions. Here are some suggestions that can help:
- Bisquick – If you can’t find Bisquick, a homemade mix combining flour, baking powder, and fat (like shortening or butter) can be used in a pinch to emulate the original recipe’s ease and texture.
- Granulated Sugar – Those watching their sugar intake might opt for alternatives like coconut sugar or even a reduced amount of honey or maple syrup. Adjust to taste, as sweetness levels can vary.
- Cinnamon – If you don’t have cinnamon, you can get a similar warm, spiced flavor by using nutmeg or allspice as a substitute, but be mindful as these spices have a stronger flavor—use them in smaller quantities.
- Canned Peaches – If fresh peaches are available, they make an excellent substitute for canned peaches. Simply slice the fresh peaches and simmer them with some water and sugar to soften and bring out their natural juices before using.
- Light Brown Sugar – Light brown sugar can be replaced with a mix of white sugar and molasses (1 cup of white sugar to 1 tablespoon of molasses) to achieve a similar depth of flavor and moisture content. Alternatively, dark brown sugar can also be used for a deeper, more caramel-like taste.
Variations
- For an extra texture and flavor twist, consider adding a layer of streusel topping to your cobbler before baking. Simply mix together equal parts brown sugar, flour, and oats with a generous portion of melted butter until crumbly, and sprinkle over the peach layer.
- Another delightful variation involves incorporating berries, such as blueberries or raspberries, into the peaches for a playful burst of tangy sweetness.
- If you’re a fan of nuts, a handful of chopped pecans or almonds can add a satisfying crunch.
How to Make Bisquick Peach Cobbler
This cobbler recipe is broken into 2 components:
- Prepare the ingredients
- Cook the cobbler
Be sure to see the recipe card below for the full ingredients list & instructions!
STEP 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place butter in a 9×13-inch pan and melt it in the oven while it is preheating.
STEP 2: Mix the Bisquick. In a medium bowl, combine Bisquick, sugar, and salt. Add milk and whisk until smooth. Set aside.
STEP 3: Preheat the pan. Remove the pan with melted butter from the oven once preheated.
STEP 4: Mix the peaches with other ingredients. In a large bowl, mix sliced peaches, brown sugar, white sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon.
STEP 5: Add the Bisquick. Pour the Bisquick batter into the pan over the melted butter, do not stir.
STEP 6: Add the peach mix. Evenly spoon the peach mixture on top of the batter.
STEP 7: Add the sugar mix. Combine 1 tablespoon of sugar with ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon and sprinkle over the peach mixture.
STEP 8: Cook the cobbler. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
STEP 9: Cool and serve. Allow the cobbler to cool for 15-30 minutes before serving. Serve warm cobbler, with ice cream if preferred.
Recipe Pro Tips
- Allow to cool fully. It’s key to allow the cake to cool completely before frosting, or the frosting will not turn out as it should.
- Correct temperature. Butter, eggs, and cream are the key ingredients that should be at room temperature before making this easy recipe.
- Thickness of Batter: The consistency of your batter greatly affects the texture of the cobbler topping. Aim for a pourable but thick consistency to ensure a fluffy outcome upon baking.
- Fruit Layering: When layering the peaches over the batter, resist the urge to mix. This allows the batter to rise through the fruit and create a naturally crusted topping.
- Golden Topping: For an even more desirable golden crust, brush the top with a small amount of melted butter in the last 10 minutes of baking.
- Baking Dish: Glass or ceramic baking dishes tend to yield the best results for evenly baked cobblers. Remember to adjust your baking time if you’re using a dish that conducts heat differently than what’s suggested.
Recipe FAQs
Yes, gluten-free Bisquick can be used for those with gluten sensitivities. However, the texture may vary slightly from the original recipe.
To make the cobbler dairy-free, you can substitute the milk with a plant-based alternative such as almond, soy, or oat milk. Also, use a dairy-free butter alternative for melting in the pan.
Reducing sugar in the recipe will alter the taste but not the baking process. Start by reducing the sugar by ¼ and adjust from there according to your preference.
For an accurate measurement, spoon the Bisquick mix into the measuring cup and level it off with a knife. This method prevents the mix from compacting, which could lead to too much mix in the batter.
What to Serve with Bisquick Peach Cobbler
Pair this comforting Bisquick Peach Cobbler with a creamy scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for the classic dessert experience. To balance the sweetness, you might also enjoy it alongside a cup of strong black coffee or an aromatic tea.
For those seeking a more decadent treat, consider a scoop of salted caramel or cinnamon ice cream. And if you’re serving this at a Southern-inspired meal, a glass of sweet iced tea or a bourbon-based cocktail could be the perfect complement.
Storage
To maintain the cobbler’s freshness, store it covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. The cool environment helps to preserve the moisture and flavor.
You can also freeze leftover peach cobbler. First, allow it to cool completely, then wrap it securely in plastic wrap and aluminum foil. It can be frozen for up to 3 months. To serve again, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and then reheat in the oven until warmed through.

Butter in the pan makes all the difference. Other recipes put the butter in the batter. Crispy and delicious on the bottom this way.
