Ingredients
Instructions
- In a saucepan, add peach pie filling, 1 cup of sugar, and 1 stick of margarine.
- Cook on medium-low until well blended, then set aside.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine self-rising flour and remaining sugar.
- Add milk gradually to the flour mixture, stirring until smooth; adjust with more milk if needed to achieve a pourable batter.
- Pour the batter into a greased baking dish or pan.
- Spoon the prepared peach filling evenly over the batter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 30 minutes or until golden and bubbly.
- Serve warm, optionally with ice cream or whipped cream.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter version, consider substituting half the sugar with a sugar alternative like erythritol. You can also use butter instead of margarine for a richer flavor. If fresh peaches are in season, you can replace the canned filling with sliced fresh peaches mixed with sugar and a bit of cornstarch to thicken. For added flavor, sprinkle cinnamon or nutmeg into the batter.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the peach cobbler warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a delightful treat. It pairs beautifully with Pumpkin Stuff or can be enjoyed alongside a cup of coffee for a sweet breakfast option. This dessert is perfect for family gatherings or potlucks and is sure to impress your guests.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, let the cobbler cool completely, then cover it tightly with plastic wrap or transfer it to an airtight container. It can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual servings in the microwave for about 30-45 seconds or warm the entire dish in a 350°F oven until heated through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh peaches instead of canned peach pie filling?
Absolutely! Fresh peaches can be used by slicing them and mixing with sugar and a bit of cornstarch for thickening. This will give you a fresher taste and the opportunity to enjoy seasonal fruits.
How do I know when the cobbler is done baking?
The cobbler is done when the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. You can insert a toothpick in the batter; if it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, it’s ready to be taken out of the oven.
Can I make this cobbler ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the peach filling and batter separately in advance. Store them in the refrigerator for up to a day. When ready to bake, just combine and bake as directed for a fresh dessert without the last-minute hassle.
