Peach cobbler is a beloved, comforting dessert that captures the essence of summer with its sweet, juicy peaches and warm, biscuit-like topping. The soft, golden crust is the perfect contrast to the tender, cinnamon-spiced peaches beneath, making this dessert a crowd-pleaser at family gatherings, barbecues, or a cozy evening at home. Its simplicity and homey appeal have made it a classic treat enjoyed by generations.
To prepare peach cobbler, fresh or frozen peaches are typically tossed with a touch of sugar and cinnamon, allowing the fruit to release its natural juices and create a syrupy filling. The magic happens when the fruit mixture is topped with dollops of biscuit dough, which bakes into a golden, slightly crumbly crust. The result is a warm, comforting dessert with a balance of sweet, tart peaches and a soft, biscuit-like topping.
The beauty of peach cobbler lies in its versatility. It can be served on its own or paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of freshly whipped cream to add extra richness. For a slightly decadent twist, drizzle some caramel sauce over the top. The cobbler can be made in a large baking dish for sharing or in individual ramekins for a personal touch.
This dessert is not only perfect for summer but also easily adapted for year-round enjoyment. In the winter months, you can use canned or frozen peaches, so you can enjoy the flavors of summer even when the weather is colder. Whether you’re hosting a gathering or simply craving a sweet treat, peach cobbler is always a good choice to satisfy your dessert cravings.

Easy recipe! I used canned peaches because that’s all I had, and it worked out fine! Yum! 🍑👌
It was ok, but I prefer mine with a crumbly top instead of this batter. Maybe I’ll try tweaking it!
I don’t know, my cobbler turned out way too sweet. I think maybe a cup of sugar is too much? 🤨
This is the best peach cobbler recipe! Made it for a family gathering and everyone loved it! 😍
Yum! Simple and fast! My kids loved helping me make this! Will do again!
That sounds awesome! It’s great that your kids enjoyed it! Can’t wait to try it myself!
Honestly, I thought this would be better. It was kinda bland.
Easy to make but I think you could use frozen peaches too if fresh ain’t available.
Honestly, I was skeptical about the batter not mixing, but it turned out pretty good. I added some cinnamon and it gave it a nice twist!
I don’t know… it didn’t turn out like the picture. Maybe my peaches weren’t ripe enough? Idk. Disappointing.
Too sweet for my taste. I think maybe cut back on the sugar? But the peaches were nice. Just not my thing.
5 stars all the way!! Best dessert ever. Got seconds and my kids loved it too!
I’m so glad to hear that! This recipe is a family favorite for sure. It’s super easy to make too!
I don’t get why everyone loves this so much. Mine turned out way too sweet. Maybe I added too much sugar?
Sweet? Mine was perfect! Maybe you should pay more attention to measurements next time.
I agree, it can be really sweet! I usually cut the sugar by at least a quarter and it helps a lot. Give it another try! 🙂
It was okay. The butter was too much. Next time I won’t pour it all in. Just slices of peach, y’know?
I love peach cobbler, but I added cinnamon and nutmeg for a kick! Tasted great! 🔥
That sounds delicious! I’ve never tried it with cinnamon and nutmeg, I might have to give that a go! 😋
Cinnamon? Really? Isn’t that a bit much for peach cobbler? Just stick to the classic, it’s perfect as is! 🙄
This peach cobbler is AMAZING! Super easy to make and it turned out delicious. I used fresh peaches and it was a hit at the family gathering!
I’m so glad it turned out great for you! Fresh peaches definitely make a difference. Can’t wait to try this myself!
Just a quick question, can I use frozen peaches? Or will it mess things up?
I dunno, maybe I did something wrong? The batter was too thick and didn’t rise at all.
Why do you put the batter over the butter? Doesn’t that sound weird? I did it the same way but felt confused. Tasted okay tho.
It’s actually a common technique! The butter helps to create a crispy edge. Don’t worry, you’re not alone in feeling confused about it at first. Glad it tasted good!
This is the best peach cobbler I’ve ever made! So easy and yummy 😊
GREAT RECIPE!!! 🍑🍰
This looks amazing! Can’t wait to try it myself. Thanks for sharing! 🍑✨
Looks good, but ain’t it too sweet with that much sugar? 🤔
This peach cobbler was so delicious! I loved the combination of flavors. Will definitely make again!
Peaches are good but aint nobody got time for this baking stuff. Just buy it at the store! 😂
But homemade tastes way better! Plus, it’s fun to bake! 😊
This is a good recipe, but I added some nutmeg and it made it even better. 😍
Best peach cobbler I’ve ever made! 🍑🍰
I’m glad you enjoyed it! Peach cobbler is a classic! 🍑
This peach cobbler taste so good! I love the sweetness of the peaches mix with the buttery crust. Definitely a keeper!
Great recipe. Can I use other fruits like apples or berries? 🤷
I don’t see the point of not stirring the batter. Is that really necessary?
Y’all, this is the best cobbler EVER! My grandma would be proud. Thanks for sharing!
So glad to hear you loved it! Peach cobbler always reminds me of summer days at my grandma’s house too.
Looks delicious!
Honestly, it was okay. Mine came out more like a pancake than a cobbler. Maybe I did something wrong? 🤔
I really struggled to get the batter right. Ugh, I thought it was gonna be easy! Anyone else have issues?
I had the same issue at first! Maybe the flour wasn’t mixed enough? 🤔
It’s peach cobbler, how hard can it be? Just follow the steps! 😂
Not really feeling the whole batter on top thing. My cobbler usually has more dough.
I get what you mean! I also prefer a thicker dough. This recipe is different but still yummy.
Yum! Just right amount of sweetness. I added a pinch of cinnamon and it was perfect. 😍
I don’t know how it would work with no self-rising flour. Could I just use normal flour and add baking powder instead?
I dunno, sounds complicated. Why not just get the self-rising flour? It’s easier, right?
Yes, you can totally use regular flour with baking powder. Just add about 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder for every cup of flour. Should work fine!
I tried this recipe, but it came out too watery. Maybe I added too much sugar? I dunno, but it wasn’t like the pic.
This peach cobbler was a hit at our family reunion! Super easy to make and everyone loved it.
I love peach cobbler, but the recipe isn’t clear about the butter. Do you have to mix it in? Confused!
This was such a flop 😩. The butter ended up all over the place and it just didn’t taste right. Not making this again.
Can I use frozen peaches instead of fresh? 🤔
Cobbler is a southern thing, but I think it needs more sugar.. just my opinion.
Yum! Put some ice cream on top and it’s perfect!!
So good!!! I used canned peaches and it still tasted amazing. Thanks for sharing!
I dunno, I tried it with fresh peaches and it was better. Canned are mushy, right?
I’m glad to hear you enjoyed it! Canned peaches are a great shortcut for this recipe. 👌
This reminds me of my grandma’s recipe! Brings back good memories. 🍑❤️
Yum! Perfect dessert for summer picnics! My kids gobbled it up!
Is it really cobbler if you don’t put ice cream on it? Just sayin’.
Ice cream makes everything better! You gotta try it! 🍦
I was a bit skeptical at first because I’m not good with baking, but this turned out great! Thanks!
Peaches are gross. You should try it with apples instead.
This peach cobbler was a hit at my family reunion! Everyone loved it and it’s so easy to make. Will definitely be making this again!
That’s awesome! I’m glad your family enjoyed it. It’s really simple to make, huh? I can’t wait to try it myself!
Didn’t turn out so great. It was too sweet for me. Next time less sugar.
Easy and delicious! My kids devoured it in like 10 minutes. Will make again for sure!
This sounds great! I’m gonna try it with my kids too. Thanks for sharing!
I don’t know, seems like too much sugar to me. Is it really that good?
I tried this recipe, and I ended up burning it. My fault, not the recipe’s! Still not gonna try again tho.
It’s okay! Sometimes things just don’t go as planned. Maybe give it another shot with a timer next time?
5 stars!! Make it every Sunday at my house! 😋
I think this recipe is missing something. Where’s the top crust? Seems kinda basic. 😒
Yum! My grandma used to make peach cobbler, and she’s no longer with us, but this brought back so many memories.
Yummm!! Best cobbler I’ve ever made! 😍 Going to try with apples next time.
Peaches ain’t my thing, but I might try it for my friends who love them!
Absolutely delicious! This recipe is a keeper. My family loved it!
I don’t know, sounds kinda basic. Seems like any recipe can be a keeper if you add enough sugar.
So glad to hear that! It’s one of my favorites too. Did you add any spice to it?
I don’t get why you would mix the sugar with the peaches. Isn’t that kinda counterproductive?
I’m skeptical about pouring the batter over butter. Isn’t that too greasy?
I get your concern, but it actually helps create a nice crust! Trust me, it’s sooo good.
Tasted kinda bland, not what I expected from a cobbler. Disappointed! 😕
I totally understand! Cobblers can be hit or miss sometimes. Maybe try adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg next time for some extra flavor? 😊
This recipe is GREAT. Made it twice already, perfect every time!
I agree! This recipe is so easy and delicious, I’ve made it three times now!
I’m not so sure about this recipe. It sounds good, but isn’t it too sweet?
Just made it, but I think I messed up the steps. The bottom was all gooey and not like a cake should be.
This recipe is super easy and perfect for summer! I used fresh peaches and it was a hit at the party!
Isn’t cobbler supposed to have more filling? This seems kinda dry. 🤔
I love how easy this sounds! Can’t wait to try it with strawberries instead of peaches.
I followed the recipe but it turned out too runny. Any advice for next time?
