Easy Peach Cobbler Without a Mix
This old-fashioned peach cobbler skips the box and delivers all the comfort of a classic Southern dessert—gooey peaches, buttery batter, and golden, crispy edges. Just like Mama used to make.
Ingredients
- 6 medium peaches peeled and sliced (or 1 quart canned, drained)
- ¾ cup sugar divided
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup milk whole preferred
- ½ cup butter melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice optional, brightens flavor
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon optional, for warmth
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and butter a 9x9-inch baking dish.
- Toss sliced peaches with ¼ cup sugar and lemon juice. Let sit while preparing batter.
- In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and remaining ½ cup sugar. Stir in milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour batter into the buttered dish. Spoon peaches and their juices over the top. Do not stir.
- Sprinkle cinnamon on top if using.
- Bake for 40–45 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly.
- Cool slightly before serving. Best enjoyed warm with vanilla ice cream.
Notes
Use fresh, frozen, or canned peaches. For gluten-free, use a 1:1 flour substitute. For extra warmth, add nutmeg or cardamom. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven at 300°F to restore the crisp top. To double the recipe, use a 9x13 dish and bake 5–10 minutes longer.
