Peach Cobbler with Canned Peaches 🍑🥧 — an easy, comforting dessert with juicy peaches and a golden, buttery topping. Perfect when fresh peaches aren’t in season.
Easy Peach Cobbler (9×13-inch pan)
🍑 Filling
- 2 (15 oz) cans sliced peaches (drained, reserve ¼ cup syrup)
- ½ cup granulated sugar (adjust if peaches are very sweet)
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp nutmeg (optional)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp cornstarch (for thicker filling)
🥄 Batter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup (1 stick) butter, melted
Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat Oven
350°F (175°C). Pour melted butter into a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2️⃣ Prepare Peaches
In a bowl, mix drained peaches, reserved syrup, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, lemon juice, and cornstarch.
3️⃣ Make Batter
Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and milk until smooth.
4️⃣ Assemble (Do Not Stir!)
- Pour batter evenly over melted butter.
- Spoon peach mixture over batter.
- Do not stir — the batter will rise around the peaches while baking.
5️⃣ Bake
Bake 40–45 minutes until golden brown and bubbling.
6️⃣ Cool Slightly & Serve
Best served warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Tips for Best Results
- If using peaches in heavy syrup, reduce added sugar slightly.
- For a crispier top, sprinkle a little cinnamon sugar before baking.
- Let cobbler rest 10–15 minutes before serving so filling thickens.
If you’d like, I can give you a Southern-style biscuit topping version that’s more rustic and flaky instead of cake-like.
