Mother'S Easy Peach Cobbler
Indulgent peach cobbler with a buttery, vanilla‑infused topping and sweet, fragrant peaches—perfect for a cozy family dinner or a comforting dessert.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt the oleo.
- In a 9×13‑inch pan, whisk together the self‑rising flour, milk, sugar, vanilla, salt, and cinnamon until smooth.
- Pour the batter over the melted oleo in the pan.
- Arrange the sliced peaches, with their juice, evenly over the batter.
- Bake at 350°F until the crust is golden brown, about 30 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of almond extract along with the vanilla. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining all-purpose flour with baking powder and salt. If you're out of oleo, unsalted butter works as a great substitute. For a twist, try using canned pears or cherries instead of peaches.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the peach cobbler warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on top. It pairs beautifully with Elizabeth'S Coconut Cake for dessert lovers. A side of Jolly Good Nut Mix can add a nice crunch if served at a gathering. Consider offering a glass of sweet tea or lemonade for a refreshing beverage pairing.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the cobbler in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. You can also microwave individual portions for a quick treat, though the oven method helps maintain the texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh peaches instead of canned?
Yes, fresh peaches can be used! Just peel and slice about 4-5 medium peaches and add them to the batter. You may need to adjust the baking time slightly, so keep an eye on it as it bakes.
What should I do if the cobbler is too runny?
If your cobbler turns out runny, it may be due to the juiciness of the peaches. To remedy this, you can sprinkle a tablespoon of cornstarch over the peaches before adding them to the batter, which helps thicken the filling.
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the cobbler a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator before baking. Just let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before baking to ensure even cooking.
