Easy Peach Cobbler Ingredients
For the Cobbler:
- Two 15-ounce cans sliced peaches in syrup
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
- 1 cup self-rising flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup milk
For the Homemade Whipped Cream:
- 2 cups whipping cream, chilled in the fridge
- 4 tablespoons sugar
How To Make Easy Peach Cobbler
- Prep the oven and pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place the stick of butter in a 9×12-inch ovenproof baking dish and place it in the oven or on the stove until the butter is completely melted.
- Mix the batter: In a medium bowl, mix together the self-rising flour and sugar. Stir in the milk and the syrup from one can of peaches until just combined.
- Assemble the cobbler: Pour the batter directly over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not stir. Arrange the drained peaches from both cans over the top of the batter. Do not stir.
- Bake and serve: Bake for 1 hour, or until the batter has risen up around the peaches and the crust is thick and golden brown. While it bakes, prepare the homemade whipped cream by beating the chilled cream and sugar together until soft peaks form. Serve the cobbler warm with the fresh whipped cream.
Recipe Tips
- How to get the best texture? The most important step is not to stir the layers together. Pouring the batter over the butter and arranging the peaches on top allows the magic to happen in the oven, creating a soft, cakey cobbler that bakes up through the fruit.
- Can I use fresh peaches? Yes. You will need about 4 cups of peeled, sliced peaches. You may want to toss them with a little extra sugar before adding them to the batter.
- How do I know when the cobbler is done? The cobbler is ready when the topping is a deep golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbly around the edges. The batter should have risen up and around the peaches.
- What if I don’t have self-rising flour? The recipe notes provide a simple substitute: for 1 cup of self-rising flour, use 1 cup of all-purpose flour mixed with 1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder and ⅛ teaspoon of salt.

FAQs
Why do you put the batter on the bottom?
This is a classic Southern-style cobbler. As it bakes, the lighter batter rises up through the heavier fruit filling, creating a soft, cake-like crust on top. It seems counterintuitive, but it works perfectly!
Can I use a different fruit?
Yes, this recipe is a fantastic base for other fruits. Canned or fresh blackberries, blueberries, or a mix of berries would be delicious.
My topping is soggy. What went wrong?
This can happen if the batter is overmixed, which makes it tough and less able to rise properly. Mix only until the ingredients are just combined.
