A quick and fruity cobbler featuring sweet peaches or other fruits, topped with a tender batter. Perfect for a comforting dessert that comes together in no time.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix sugar, flour, milk, and baking powder in a bowl.
- Melt butter in a glass casserole dish.
- Pour the batter mixture over the melted butter without stirring.
- Place sliced peaches on top of the batter.
- Bake at 350°F until the top is brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract or a sprinkle of cinnamon to the batter. If you don't have peaches, any canned fruit like pears or berries can work well as substitutes. Make sure to use fresh baking powder for the best rise, and for a gluten-free option, try using almond flour instead of regular flour.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this delicious cobbler warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert experience. It pairs beautifully with Iced Oatmeal-Raisin Cookies for a sweet treat platter. You can also enjoy it as a brunch item alongside fresh fruit or whipped cream for an indulgent touch.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh peaches instead of canned?
Absolutely! Fresh peaches can be used, but you'll want to slice and slightly cook them down to release some juices before layering them on the batter to ensure the cobbler bakes evenly and doesn't become too dry.
What if I don't have a glass casserole dish?
No problem! You can use any oven-safe baking dish, such as metal or ceramic. Just be mindful that cooking times may vary slightly based on the material, so keep an eye on the cobbler while it bakes.
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the batter and layer it with fruit the night before. Cover it tightly and refrigerate, then bake it fresh in the morning for a warm breakfast treat. However, for best results, bake it right before serving.
