A comforting peach cobbler-inspired dessert with a buttery crust and sweet fruit topping, perfect for family gatherings or casual get-togethers.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a 9 x 13-inch pan, melt the oleo.
- In a separate bowl, mix flour, sugar, and milk until well combined.
- Pour the batter over the melted butter in the pan without stirring.
- Then, pour the peaches and their juice over the batter and peaches.
- Bake on the middle rack for 35 to 40 minutes, until the top is golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
To enhance flavor, consider adding a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter. If you don't have oleo, unsalted butter or margarine works well as a substitute. For a twist, try using canned pears or mixed fruit instead of peaches. Ensure the fruit is well-drained to prevent excess moisture in the pie.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for added richness. This pie pairs beautifully with Easy Cornbread Muffins, making it a delightful dessert after a hearty meal. You can also enjoy it for breakfast or brunch with coffee.
Storage & Reheating

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh peaches instead of canned?
Yes, you can use fresh peaches! Just peel, slice, and cook them slightly to soften before adding them to the pie. Adjust the sugar based on the sweetness of the fresh fruit to balance the flavors.
What can I do if the top is browning too quickly?
If the top is browning too quickly, loosely cover the pie with aluminum foil during the last 10-15 minutes of baking. This will help prevent over-browning while the center continues to cook through.
Is this recipe suitable for vegetarians?
Yes, this recipe is suitable for vegetarians as it contains no meat or animal-derived ingredients aside from butter. For a vegan version, you can substitute the butter with a plant-based margarine and use a non-dairy milk.
