Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt the oleo in an 8 or 9-inch square pan.
- Mix sugar, Bisquick, and milk until well combined.
- Pour the batter into the pan with melted oleo.
- Cut up the peaches and use all but 3 or 4 tablespoons of the juice.
- Pour the fruit and juice into the center of the batter in the pan.
- Bake in a 400°F oven for 30 to 40 minutes or until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, try substituting the peaches with blueberries or cherries for a different flavor profile. If you're out of oleo, unsalted butter works perfectly. Ensure the batter is mixed just until combined to keep the cobbler light and fluffy. For added texture, sprinkle a bit of cinnamon or nutmeg into the batter.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the cobbler warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top for a delightful contrast. It pairs beautifully with Jello-Pretzel Salad for a refreshing side dish. Enjoy it as a dessert or a sweet breakfast treat with coffee or tea.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover cobbler in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply place individual servings in the microwave for 20-30 seconds or warm the entire dish in the oven at 350°F until heated through. This will help retain the cobbler's texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh peaches instead of canned?
Yes, fresh peaches can be used! Simply peel and slice about 4-5 medium peaches, and you can use the same amount of juice. Adjust the sugar based on the sweetness of your fresh peaches.
What can I do if the cobbler is too dry?
If your cobbler turns out dry, it might be due to over-baking. To prevent this, check it a few minutes before the suggested baking time. Adding more fruit or a drizzle of syrup on top before serving can also help enhance moisture.
Can this recipe be made gluten-free?
Absolutely! Substitute the Bisquick with a gluten-free pancake mix or a homemade gluten-free flour blend. Be sure to check for additional binding agents if needed, as gluten-free batters can sometimes be less stable.
