Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt butter in a cobbler pan, then pour in the peaches.
- Mix sugar, flour, baking powder, nutmeg, and milk together in a bowl.
- Pour the batter over the peaches in the pan.
- Bake in the oven at 325°F for 40 minutes or until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a more complex flavor, consider adding cinnamon or vanilla extract to the batter. You can substitute the oleo with unsalted butter or margarine for a richer taste. If fresh peaches are in season, feel free to use them instead of canned, but you'll need to adjust the sugar based on the sweetness of the fruit. This dessert pairs beautifully with Old Fashioned Carrot Cake(Pillsbury Winner) as a sweet treat option.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the cobbler warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on top. It also goes well with coffee or tea for a delightful dessert experience. For a twist, try it alongside the Coffee Mocha Punch for a refreshing beverage option that balances the sweetness of the cobbler.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, allow the cobbler to cool completely, then cover it tightly with plastic wrap or transfer it to an airtight container. It can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual portions in the microwave for about 30 seconds or warm it in the oven at 350°F until heated through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other fruits instead of peaches?
Yes, you can substitute the peaches with other canned or fresh fruits like cherries, blueberries, or apples. Just make sure to adjust the sugar according to the sweetness of the fruit you choose. Each fruit will give a different flavor profile to the cobbler, so feel free to experiment!
What can I do if my cobbler batter is too thick?
If your batter seems too thick, you can add a little more milk, a tablespoon at a time, until it reaches your desired consistency. A thinner batter will spread more easily over the fruit and create a lighter texture once baked. Be careful not to make it too runny, though!
How can I make this recipe gluten-free?
To make a gluten-free version of this cobbler, simply substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Make sure the blend contains xanthan gum or add it separately to help with the texture. This way, you can still enjoy a delicious peach cobbler while adhering to gluten-free dietary needs.
