Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt the stick of butter into a 13 x 9-inch baking pan.
- Mix 3/4 cup sugar, 3/4 cup milk, 1 cup all-purpose flour, and 3 teaspoons baking powder. Pour into the pan with melted butter.
- In a separate bowl, combine 1 large can sliced peaches, 2/3 cup juice from the can (add water if needed to make 2/3 cup), and 1/4 cup sugar.
- Pour the peach mixture into the batter in the pan without stirring.
- Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 40 minutes. Serve hot or cold, great with ice cream.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of white sugar. If you want to experiment with the fruit, try adding blueberries or blackberries along with the peaches. Make sure to not overmix the batter to keep it light and fluffy. For a gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh peaches instead of canned?
Yes, you can use fresh peaches! Just peel and slice about 4-5 medium peaches to replace the large can. You may need to add a bit of sugar to the fresh peaches to enhance their sweetness, especially if they are not fully ripe.
How can I make this recipe more nutritious?
To make the cobbler healthier, you can reduce the amount of sugar by 1/4 cup and use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour. You can also add oats or nuts for additional texture and nutrition. This way, you can enjoy a guilt-free version of the classic dessert.
What can I do if the cobbler looks too dry?
If your cobbler looks dry after baking, it may need more juice or fruit. Drizzling a bit of extra peach juice over the top before serving can help add moisture. Additionally, serving with ice cream or whipped cream will complement the dish and add creaminess.
