Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix sliced peaches with 1 cup of sugar; set aside.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Place butter in a 2-quart baking dish.
- Set the dish in the oven to melt the butter.
- Combine the remaining 1/2 cup sugar, flour, baking powder, salt, and milk; pour over the melted butter without stirring.
- Add the sugared peaches on top of the batter without stirring.
- Bake for about 1 hour, until the batter has risen to the top and is crisp and brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a sweeter cobbler, consider using ripe, in-season peaches. You can substitute other fruits like nectarines or blueberries for a different flavor profile. If you're short on time, pre-sliced frozen peaches can work well, just thaw and drain excess liquid. Make sure to pour the batter over the melted butter without stirring for the best texture, as it allows the batter to rise properly.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the No-Roll Peach Cobbler warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for added indulgence. It pairs wonderfully with a side of fresh berries or a drizzle of caramel sauce. For a delightful brunch option, consider serving it alongside the Amazing Apricot Pie.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat portions in the microwave for about 30 seconds or in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes until warmed through. This helps maintain the crisp texture of the batter.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use canned peaches instead of fresh?
Yes, you can use canned peaches for this recipe. Just make sure to drain them well before mixing with sugar to avoid excess liquid affecting the batter's texture. Adjust the sugar if the peaches are packed in syrup since they may already be sweetened.
What can I do if I don't have baking powder?
If you don't have baking powder, you can make a substitute by combining 1 teaspoon of baking soda with 2 teaspoons of vinegar or lemon juice. This will help the batter rise. Alternatively, you can use self-rising flour, but reduce the added salt since it already contains salt.
How do I know when the cobbler is done baking?
The cobbler is done when the top is golden brown and crispy, and a toothpick inserted into the batter comes out clean. It should have risen and formed a nice crust. If the top browns too quickly, you can cover it loosely with foil until the center is fully baked.
