Tips & Variations

FAQs

Can I use fresh peaches instead of canned?

Yes, fresh peaches can be used but reduce the sugar slightly since fresh fruit is less sweet. Peel and slice the peaches before layering and adjust baking time if needed.

What if I don’t have unsalted butter?

You can use salted butter instead; just omit or reduce the added salt in the batter to balance flavors.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Fruit

• 2 cans (15 oz each) sliced peaches in syrup

Batter

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar, divided
• 1 cup milk
• ½ cup unsalted butter (1 stick), melted
• 1½ tsp baking powder
• ¼ tsp salt

Optional

• Ground cinnamon or nutmeg, for sprinkling

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 °F (175 °C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the cobbler evenly.
2. Prepare Peaches: Open the sliced-peach cans and drain the peaches, reserving the syrup from one can for later use.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ½ cup of granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt to create a uniform dry mixture.
4. Add Milk: Stir in the milk to the dry ingredients until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
5. Butter the Dish: Pour the melted unsalted butter into a 9×13-inch baking dish, ensuring it covers the bottom evenly.
6. Pour Batter: Pour the prepared batter over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not stir after pouring to allow the batter to create a crust with butter beneath.
7. Add Peaches: Evenly spoon the drained peaches over the batter layer to distribute fruit across the cobbler.
8. Drizzle Syrup Mixture: Mix the reserved peach syrup with the remaining ½ cup sugar, then drizzle this sweet syrup evenly over the peaches. Optionally, sprinkle ground cinnamon or nutmeg on top for added warm spice flavor.
9. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbling with peach juices.
10. Cool and Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool for a few minutes after baking. Serve warm, ideally accompanied by vanilla ice cream for a classic dessert experience.

Notes

• Do not stir the batter after pouring over the melted butter; it helps develop a rich crust.
• Using the reserved syrup mixed with sugar adds extra sweetness and moisture to the topping.
• Sprinkling cinnamon or nutmeg is optional but adds a delightful warmth to the cobbler.
• Best served warm, the cobbler pairs perfectly with vanilla ice cream.
• You can use fresh peaches but adjust cooking time accordingly.
