Ingredients

For the Peach Filling:

4 cups peeled and sliced fresh peaches (or canned, drained)
½ cup granulated sugar
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon lemon juice

For the Batter/Topping:

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
½ cup unsalted butter, melted (or softened)

Optional for garnish: vanilla ice cream or whipped cream

History & Formation

Peach cobbler has roots in early American settlers’ ingenuity. With limited ingredients, they baked fruit under a simple dough topping—creating a “cobbled” look, hence the name. Originally a practical way to stretch ingredients, it became a beloved dessert across the South and Midwest. Over the years, the recipe evolved, but the heart of peach cobbler—juicy peaches under a lightly sweetened batter—remains the same.

Instructions & Methods

Step 1: Prepare the Peach Filling

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, combine peaches, ½ cup sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Stir gently to coat evenly. Set aside.

Step 2: Make the Batter

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, 1 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually stir in milk until smooth.
Pour in melted butter and mix until fully incorporated. The batter will be slightly thin—this is perfect.

Step 3: Assemble the Cobbler

Pour the batter into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
Spoon the peach mixture evenly over the batter. Do not stir—the batter will rise around the peaches as it bakes.

Step 4: Bake

Bake uncovered for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the batter comes out clean.
The peaches will bubble around the edges, and the batter will puff up to a soft, cakey crust.

Step 5: Serve

Let the cobbler cool for 5–10 minutes.
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.
