Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a 9 x 13-inch pan.
- Mix sugar, flour, baking powder, and milk together in a bowl.
- Pour the batter over the melted butter in the pan without stirring.
- Add the sliced peaches on top of the batter in layers.
- Sprinkle with 2 or 3 tablespoons of sugar on top.
- Bake for 35 minutes at 350°F.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of white sugar in the batter. If you don't have fresh peaches, canned or frozen peaches can be used, just ensure they're well-drained. For a twist, add a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter. Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert experience.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the magic peach cobbler warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on top. It pairs beautifully with Rosamarina Salad for a refreshing contrast. This dessert can also be enjoyed as a breakfast treat alongside Real Mashed Potatoes!(From Potatoes, Not A Mix!) for a unique brunch spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover peach cobbler in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual portions in the microwave for 30-60 seconds or in the oven at 350°F until warmed through. This will help retain its crispy top while keeping the peaches soft.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other fruits in this cobbler?
Yes, you can substitute peaches with other fruits like blueberries, apples, or even mixed berries. Just adjust the sugar based on the sweetness of the fruit you choose, as some fruits are sweeter than others.
What if my batter is too thick?
If your batter appears too thick, you can add a little more milk, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach a pourable consistency. The batter should be thick but still able to flow over the butter.
Is there a gluten-free option for this recipe?
Absolutely! You can use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend in place of regular flour. Ensure that your baking powder is also gluten-free, which most are, and you'll have a delicious gluten-free peach cobbler.
