A warm, fruity peach cobbler with a crumbly topping, perfect for family gatherings or casual dessert cravings, showcasing the sweet and juicy flavors of ripe peaches.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Place drained peaches in the bottom of a shallow oblong baking dish.
- Mix together 2 teaspoons of self-rising flour and 1/2 cup of sugar in a separate bowl. Sprinkle this mixture over the peaches.
- Combine 1 cup of sugar, 1 cup of self-rising flour, and 1 egg until the mixture is crumbly.
- Pour the crumbly mixture over the peaches.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using fresh peaches when in season. You can also substitute the self-rising flour with all-purpose flour plus 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and a pinch of salt. If you prefer a sweeter dessert, add an extra 1/4 cup of sugar to the peach layer. Be careful not to overmix the batter to maintain a good crumb texture.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top for a delightful treat. It pairs beautifully with Sinful Trifle for a dessert spread. You might also enjoy it alongside a cup of coffee or tea, making it perfect for brunch or a cozy family gathering.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual portions in the microwave for about 30 seconds or until warmed through. Alternatively, you can reheat in an oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes until the topping is crisp again.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen peaches instead of canned?
Yes, frozen peaches can be used as a substitute. Just make sure to thaw and drain them thoroughly to avoid excess moisture in the cobbler. You may need to adjust the sugar based on the sweetness of the peaches, especially if they are very ripe.
What can I substitute for butter in this recipe?
You can use margarine or a non-dairy butter substitute to make this recipe dairy-free. Coconut oil is also a great alternative, providing a unique flavor. Just ensure it is melted before mixing it with the other ingredients.
How do I know when the cobbler is done baking?
The cobbler is done when the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Baking times may vary, so keep an eye on it towards the end of the suggested baking time.
