EASY PEACH COBBLER RECIPE
Peaches and I have a bad history. I won’t go into too much detail but our relationship has been rocky with a long road of making up to do.
Then there’s my husband who says every time he eats peach cobbler he wishes it was apple cobbler. Another hater.
Needless to say this easy peach cobbler had a whole lot to prove.
But I’m The Girl Who Ate Everything, so no food is off limits…no calories left unexplored.
4-INGREDIENT PEACH COBBLER
The best part is that there are only four ingredients in this cobbler. This is the easiest cobbler you will ever make with simple ingredients.
Here’s what happened: A little bit of the flour mixture is sprinkled on the bottom of the pan and mixes with the juices of the canned peaches while cooking making it thick.
CANNED PEACHES VS FRESH
The great thing about using cans of peaches is that you can make it anytime of year and not just during peach season. Of course you could use fresh fruit. There’s nothing like juicy peaches in a fresh peach cobbler.
The crust is the perfect combo of light with a slight crispness on top. It’s not a biscuit topping that some cobblers have.
You might be worried it’s too wet when you stick it in the oven but after it bakes and has rested for a couple of minutes, it is perfect. If you like yours on the drier side just don’t add all of the liquid from the peaches.
Some people use a cake mix. I’ve absolutely have done that before but this cobbler topping is so easy and tastes more homemade.
SELF-RISING FLOUR SUBSTITUTE
If you don’t keep self-rising flour on hand, make your own.
For every 1 cup self-rising flour needed, mix together: 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon baking soda.
WANT TO USE FRESH PEACHES?
When using fresh ripe peaches, peel and slice them, and sprinkle the slices with an additional 1/2 cup sugar. Refrigerate peach slices for 2 to 3 hours before using and they will make their own syrup with their peach juice.
You will need 1 3/4 pounds of peaches which around 5-6 medium peaches sliced.
TIPS:
- You can double this in a 9×13 baking dish.
- This is on the sweet side so you could cut the amount of sugar if you like.

Easy Peach Cobbler
This easy peach cobbler is a dump and go recipe, perfect because you can keep the ingredients on hand for a quick dessert.
Ingredients
- 1 cup self-rising flour (see Note for substitution)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar (plus 2 additional Tablespoons for topping)
- 1/2 cup butter, divided (and melted separately)
- 1 (29 ounce) can sliced peaches in heavy syrup, undrained
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
-
In a medium-size mixing bowl coarsely mix the flour, 3/4 cup of the sugar, and 1/4 cup melted butter together. You can add a dash of cinnamon here if you want too.
-
Sprinkle about one-third of the flour mixture on the bottom of an 9x9 baking dish. The flour mixture will slightly mix with the syrup of the peaches while baking and thicken it up a bit.
-
Add the peaches with their juice to the dish. If you like your cobbler on the dry side don't add all of the liquid.
-
Sprinkle the peaches with the remaining sugar/flour mixture. Sprinkle the top with the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar. Drizzle with the remaining 1/4 cup of melted butter.There will be a lot of liquid and it will look wet. Don't worry, the flour mixture will soak up the liquid.
-
Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and bubbly. Let cobbler sit for at least 5 minutes before serving.
-
Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
-
This can easily be doubled in a 9x13 baking dish.

Sorry. 1 more question. If I’m doubling the recipe, do I need to adjust temp or cook time?
You shouldn’t need to
I’m going to be making this for Thanksgiving. What’s the best way to reheat it once we are ready to eat it?
Just pop it in the oven at 350 for ten minutes or if it’s in a microwave safe bowl just heat it in there.
I feel like I may be missing an ingredient like milk or something? Mine did not look wet before putting in the oven or have a lot of liquid at all. Where does the liquid come from, solely the peach juices and butter? When I made my flour mixture it came out more like a crumble. I hope this is right. About to put in the oven. Thanks!
Yes, that’s right The liquid is soley from the juices. The flour mixture should be a crumble.
It turned out wonderful. This was Absolutely DELICIOUS! I am actually making it now for a second time on a weeknight 😅 that is just how much my family loved it. It is so easy to make also. Thank you so much for the awesome recipe!
You’re welcome!
Hi…if, using the 9×13 baking dish for the cobbler, do I need to make adjustments so that when baking, it doesn’t overflow and spill. I’m only asking because a comment was posted, that hers did overflow. All comments welcome!!
You shouldn’t have to make adjustments but sounds like you need to make sure your dish is deep enough
I have several very large fresh peaches and would like to know how many would be needed for this recipe. The recipe only mentions the quantity of canned peaches.
Sorry it says it in the notes: You will need 1 3/4 pounds of peaches which around 5-6 medium peaches sliced.
Do you use salted or unsalted butter?
I used unsalted but you could definitely use salted since it is a sweet dish.
To me they’re just not peaches without a little bit of cinnamon and maybe a little almond extract. I do a three ingredient topping with oats brown sugar and butter maybe a little flour. great!
Your recipe is missing the third ingredient. It’s half a cup of what?
It’s there! Not sure why it’s not showing up for you. 1/2 cup of butter
In the ingredients, you’ve left out the word butter (assumed from part of it being melted?)
1/2 cup divided (and melted separately) of what ??? 🙂 I don’t understand.
Butter
I want to make this recipe. But it states …1/2 cup divided. So what is the ingredient as it’s not listed. Thank you for such a yummy recipe.
Sorry. It says butter.
This recipe looks delicious! I want to use fresh peaches, how many would I need to buy? Thank you!
You will need 1 3/4 pounds of peaches which around 5-6 medium peaches sliced.
Sorry for the duplicate comment – I meant to put I only have canned peaches in 100% juice.
I really want to try make this, it looks super good! I only have canned peaches with 100% and canned peaches with light syrup. Can I use those? If so do I have to alter anything (like cooking time or flour)?
You can use those. The cobble just might not be as sweet if they aren’t in syrup. You don’t need to adjust the cooking time.
Great cobbler. I used a cast iron skillet, and doubled the recipe. I also made your conversion of all purpose to self rising flour and used turbinado sugar on top. I wonder how it would taste with browned butter?
Hi this is great! When you are in a pinch use Bisquick recipe. Good for beginners! I’ve tried Christy’s and it is easy and taste wonderful! I want to try your recipe adding brown sugar and white sugar. Christy Denney could you make a suggestion for adding brown sugar? Thanks kindly!
You could definitely do half brown sugar/half white sugar!
Great peach cobbler recipe ! I doubled the recipe using a 13×9 glass baking dish. NOTE: If you use a 13×9 baking dish, make sure the sides are deep because mine is in the oven now and its running over the top.
Oh no! Thanks for the tip.
This recipe is so simple and easy. But it turned out amazing! I was craving some peach cobbler and this hit the spot! Threw some vanilla ice cream on top and I was in heaven. Thank you!!
Glad you liked it!
This was perfect! Thank you!
Thank you!
Can I add pecans?
Always!
Super simple, simply super! Made today… Smells and tastes amazing- I even made my own self-rising flour using Bob’s Red Mill gf flour. KEEPER, KEEPER🌟
Thank you!
This is one of our favorite desserts. We have done fresh, canned and a mix of fresh and canned (we bought too small of a can one time and supplemented LOL). This is one recipe everyone always asks me to make. I am going to try it with cherry pie filling today instead of peaches (we just had the peach last weekend 🙂 )
