Peach (Pear) Cobbler
A warm, fruity peach cobbler with a cinnamon-spiced topping, perfect for comforting dessert gatherings and showcasing seasonal peaches with a sweet, tender crust.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Arrange drained, sliced peaches in a 10-inch square baking pan. Pour lemon juice over the peaches.
- Spread brown sugar over the peaches.
- Sprinkle cinnamon on top.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using fresh peaches when in season. If cling peaches are unavailable, you can substitute with canned or frozen peaches, but drain them well to avoid excess moisture. Additionally, using brown sugar in the topping adds depth, while a sprinkle of nutmeg can complement the cinnamon beautifully. To enhance the dish, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for added sweetness. This peach cobbler pairs beautifully with a light salad like Cora Salad, which offers a refreshing contrast. For a delightful brunch, consider serving it alongside T.R.'S A Cheese Ball and some toasted bread for variety.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover peach cobbler in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual portions in the microwave for about 30 seconds, or warm the entire cobbler in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes until heated through. This will help retain its texture and flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other fruits instead of peaches?
Absolutely! This cobbler recipe is quite versatile. You can use other fruits like pears, apricots, or berries. Just ensure the fruit is ripe and sweet, adjusting the sugar as needed based on the fruit's natural sweetness.
How do I make the cobbler topping more cake-like?
To achieve a cake-like topping, try adding an extra 1/4 cup of flour and an additional tablespoon of baking powder. This will create a lighter texture. Additionally, whisk the milk and melted butter together thoroughly before adding to the dry ingredients.
Can I make this cobbler in advance?
Yes, you can prepare the peach filling ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Just assemble and bake the cobbler just before serving for the best texture and flavor. Enjoy it fresh from the oven for optimal warmth and aroma.
