Sweet and comforting peach cobbler with a tender batter and caramelized peaches, perfect for family gatherings or casual desserts, highlighting warm fruit flavors and buttery crust.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix flour, milk, sugar, baking powder, salt, and egg in a bowl.
- Pour the batter into a greased baking pan.
- Add vanilla to the canned peaches and pour over the batter.
- Melt butter or margarine and pour over the top of the peaches.
- Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 50 minutes until golden and bubbly.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter. You can substitute the canned peaches with fresh or frozen peaches if they're in season, but be sure to adjust the sugar based on their sweetness. If you prefer a lighter version, try using almond milk instead of regular milk. This cobbler is similar in spirit to American recipes like Honey Applesauce Cake.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh peaches instead of canned?
Yes, you can absolutely use fresh peaches! Just peel and slice them, and consider adding a little extra sugar to balance the tartness. If using frozen peaches, thaw and drain them before adding to ensure the cobbler doesn't become too watery.
What can I do if my cobbler is too runny?
If your cobbler ends up too runny, it may need more baking time. Make sure to let it sit for a few minutes before serving, as it will thicken slightly as it cools. Adding a bit more flour to the batter next time can help achieve a firmer consistency.
Can I make this cobbler gluten-free?
Absolutely! To make this recipe gluten-free, you can substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Be sure to check that all other ingredients, especially the baking powder, are gluten-free. The cobbler will still be delicious!
