Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt butter in a baking dish.
- Mix sugar, flour, and milk to make a batter.
- Pour the batter over the melted butter without stirring.
- Empty the peaches over the batter.
- Bake in a 375° F oven for about 40 minutes.

Tips & Substitutions
For an extra flavor boost, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter. If you prefer a healthier option, you can substitute half the sugar with honey or maple syrup. You can also use fresh or frozen peaches instead of canned for a fresher taste. This dish is similar in spirit to American recipes like Rocky Mountain Apple Crisp in its comforting sweetness.
Serving Suggestions
Serve your peach cobbler warm, topped with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a decadent dessert. It pairs beautifully with Heloise'S Pralines for an extra sweet touch. For a delightful brunch, consider serving it alongside Cinnamon-Cream Cheese Roll-Ups.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover peach cobbler can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply place it in the oven at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes until warmed through. You can also microwave individual portions for a quick treat, but it may lose some of its crispy texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other fruits instead of peaches?
Absolutely! This recipe is versatile, and you can substitute peaches with other fruits like blueberries, cherries, or even mixed berries. Adjust sugar levels based on the sweetness of the fruit used. Keep in mind that different fruits may change the baking time slightly, so check for doneness.
Can I make this recipe gluten-free?
Yes, you can make this peach cobbler gluten-free by substituting the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Ensure the baking powder is also gluten-free. The texture may differ slightly, but it will still be delicious. Always check ingredient labels for gluten-free certification.
How do I know when the cobbler is done baking?
Your peach cobbler is done when the batter is golden brown and set, and the edges are bubbling. You can insert a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean or with a few crumbs, it's ready. Keep an eye on it during the last few minutes of baking to prevent overbaking.
