A scrumptiously easy Peach Cobbler with a quick eight-ingredient topping with subtle flavors of cinnamon and vanilla. It is baked until the fruit’s natural juices are bubbling and the topping is browned. For an over-the-top taste treat, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream.
If you love peaches, try my peach crisp, peach smoothie, peach dump cake, or peach coffee cake.
We love cobblers, crisps, and crumbles. This is one of our favorite desserts. Sun-ripened fresh peaches are just so flavorful. Then top with a vanilla cinnamon buttery crumb cake topping and bake to golden perfection. This peach cobbler is best served warm.
How to make peach cobbler
Start by mixing the peach slices with sugar in a large bowl. Then pour the mixture into the bottom of a baking dish. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir in the butter and the vanilla. Using your hands drop the batter in small dollops onto the peaches. Sprinkle a little cinnamon over the top.
Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the fruit is bubbly and the cobbler is golden brown. Spoon it into bowls and serve warm with fresh whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
Recipe notes and helpful tips
- For optimal flavor, I prefer to use fresh peaches, but sometimes all that is available is frozen or canned, which both work well. If using frozen peaches, thaw them first. If using canned peaches that have sugar added, don’t add more sugar to the peaches.
- It is a matter of personal preference whether to peel the peaches. I like to split the difference and peel half of the peaches.
- This recipe also works well with apples, blueberries, blackberries, and strawberries.
- Store this southern peach cobbler covered for up to 2 days on the counter. After 2 days, store it in the fridge for an additional 2 days. However, the refrigerator can make the topping soggy. Reheat in the microwave at reduced power.
- Freeze the fully cooled, well-wrapped cobbler for up to 2 months. Reheat from a frozen state covered at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Then remove the cover and continue baking until hot all the way through.
