Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Melt the oleo or butter in a 2-quart casserole dish in the oven.
- While melting, make the batter by mixing flour, sugar, baking powder, and milk.
- Pour the batter into the casserole dish with the melted butter, and do not stir.
- Place sliced fresh peaches on top of the batter and butter evenly; do not stir.
- Bake in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 1 hour until golden and bubbly.
- Serve hot with milk or whipped cream if desired.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using unsalted butter instead of oleo. If fresh peaches are not available, canned peaches can be used, but be sure to drain them well to avoid excess moisture. Adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter can elevate the taste. Ensure the batter is poured carefully over the melted butter to achieve a layered effect during baking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the peach cobbler warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a delightful contrast. It pairs beautifully with milk or a scoop of sorbet for a refreshing touch. This dessert is perfect for family gatherings or as a sweet end to a summer BBQ, complementing dishes like Broccoli Cauliflower Scallop.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, cover the baked cobbler 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 slices in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until warmed through. This will help maintain its texture and prevent it from becoming soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen peaches for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen peaches, but it's best to thaw and drain them first to remove excess water. This will help prevent the cobbler from becoming too watery during baking. You may want to add a little extra sugar if the peaches are tart.
What can I substitute for butter?
If you're looking for a dairy-free option, coconut oil or a vegan butter substitute can work well in this recipe. Just make sure to melt it before adding it to the batter. For a lower-fat alternative, consider using applesauce, but this may change the texture slightly.
How do I know when the cobbler is done baking?
The cobbler is done when the top is golden brown and bubbly. You can also insert a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean or with just a few crumbs, it's ready. Keep an eye on it towards the end of the baking time to avoid overcooking.
