Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a saucepan.
- Pour the melted butter into a large baking pan.
- In a bowl, combine sugar, flour, and milk to make the batter.
- Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking pan.
- Drain the sliced peaches and spread them over the batter.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 45 minutes until golden and bubbly.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of white sugar. If you have fresh peaches, you can slice and use about 4-5 cups instead of canned. To enhance the dish, add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter. If you're short on time, pre-made pie crust can be used as a base instead of making the batter from scratch.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top for a delightful contrast to the warm cobbler. It also pairs beautifully with Easy Creamed Cheese Dessert for a sweet finish. Consider serving it alongside a light salad like Pea And Cheese Salad to balance the meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place individual servings in the microwave for about 30 seconds or until warmed through. Alternatively, you can warm it in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, which helps maintain its crispy top.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen peaches instead of canned?
Yes, frozen peaches can be used in place of canned peaches. Just be sure to thaw and drain them well to avoid excess moisture in your cobbler. You might need to adjust the baking time slightly, as frozen fruit can affect the baking process.
How do I know when my peach cobbler is done baking?
The peach cobbler is done when the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbly. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean. If you notice the top is browning too quickly, you can cover it loosely with aluminum foil to prevent burning.
Can I make this cobbler ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the cobbler ahead of time and store it unbaked in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. When ready to bake, simply add an extra 10-15 minutes to your baking time. This is a great option for gatherings or potlucks.
