Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine sliced peaches with 1 cup sugar and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Melt butter in a 1-quart glass baking dish.
- In a bowl, mix 1 cup sugar, 1 cup flour, and 4 teaspoons baking powder.
- Stir in 2/3 cup milk until the batter is smooth.
- Pour the batter over the melted butter in the baking dish.
- Spoon the cooked peaches over the batter.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 20 minutes, or until golden and bubbly.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, try adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter for extra flavor. You can substitute fresh peaches if they are in season; just peel and slice them. If you prefer a less sweet dish, reduce the sugar to 3/4 cup. To ensure the batter rises properly, make sure your baking powder is fresh. This cobbler can also be served warm with a scoop of Vanilla Frozen Yogurt.
Serving Suggestions
This cobbler is perfect as a standalone dessert but pairs beautifully with Aunt Ellie'S Green Salad for a refreshing contrast. Serve it warm with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream on top. For a family gathering or potluck, consider serving it alongside Stephanie'S Broccoli Casserole for a balanced meal.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover cobbler can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place it in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. You can also microwave individual portions for quick servings, but the oven will help maintain the cobbler's texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen peaches instead of canned?
Yes, frozen peaches can be used in this recipe. Just thaw them and drain any excess liquid before combining with sugar. You may need to adjust the cooking time slightly as frozen fruit can release more moisture.
What can I substitute for milk in this recipe?
If you're looking for a dairy-free option, you can substitute almond milk, soy milk, or oat milk in equal amounts. Each of these alternatives will work well and maintain the desired moisture in the batter.
How do I know when the cobbler is done baking?
The cobbler is done when the top is golden brown and bubbly. You can insert a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, it’s ready to be taken out of the oven.
