Make this classic Southern Peach Cobbler using simple steps. This recipe delivers warm, sweet peaches under a buttery topping for a comforting dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups fresh or canned peaches, sliced
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust for sweetness of peaches)
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 1/2 cup milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the peaches, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss gently to coat.
  3. Stir in the water until the mixture is combined. Pour the peach filling into the prepared baking dish.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt for the topping.
  5. Cut the cold butter pieces into the dry ingredients using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Pour the milk over the crumb mixture and stir just until a shaggy dough forms. Do not overmix.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of the topping evenly over the peach filling. You do not need to cover the entire surface; gaps are fine.
  8. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly around the edges.
  9. Let the cobbler cool for at least 15 minutes before serving warm.

Notes

  • If you use canned peaches, drain off about half of the syrup before mixing with the other filling ingredients.
  • For a richer topping flavor, substitute buttermilk for the milk.
  • Serve this warm dessert with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for the best experience.
