Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Melt butter in a 9 x 13-inch baking pan.
- Combine flour, baking powder, and sugar in a bowl. Stir in milk and mix thoroughly.
- Pour the flour mixture over the melted butter in the pan.
- Add peeled, sliced peaches onto the flour mixture. Stir once to distribute the peaches.
- Sprinkle cinnamon on top of the peaches.
- Bake for 30 to 45 minutes or until the crust is puffed and browned.
- Serve warm.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of white sugar. If fresh peaches are unavailable, frozen peaches can be used; just thaw and drain excess liquid before adding them to the mixture. To enhance the flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg along with the cinnamon. For a twist, try incorporating a splash of vanilla extract into the batter.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the peach cobbler warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on top. It pairs beautifully with Quick Cinnamon Fluff for a delightful dessert experience. For a more substantial meal, consider serving it with a side of grilled pork or a fresh salad to balance the sweetness.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover peach cobbler in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place individual portions in the microwave for about 30 seconds, or warm the entire dish in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until heated through. This will help retain the cobbler's texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use canned peaches instead of fresh ones?
Yes, you can use canned peaches if fresh ones are not available. Make sure to drain the peaches well to avoid excess moisture in the cobbler. Adjust the sugar as needed since canned peaches are often packed in syrup, which can add sweetness.
How do I know when the cobbler is done baking?
The cobbler is done when the crust is puffed and golden brown. You can also insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean or with just a few crumbs. If the top still looks pale, it may need a few more minutes in the oven.
Can I make this recipe gluten-free?
Absolutely! You can substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. Just make sure the blend contains xanthan gum, or add a small amount to help with texture. The baking powder should also be gluten-free, which most brands are.
