Peach Cobbler

There’s something truly special about a warm peach cobbler fresh from the oven. The soft, juicy peaches turn rich and syrupy as they bake. The top becomes golden and buttery with just the right bit of crispness around the edges. It tastes like sunshine and comfort all in one spoonful.

What I love most is how simple it is. No fancy layers, no complicated steps, just ripe peaches, a bit of sugar and cinnamon, and a soft cake-like topping that turns beautifully golden in the oven. The peaches mingle with sugar and cinnamon to create the most amazing sauce, and the smell that fills the kitchen is wonderful. 

It’s the kind of dessert that feels homemade in the best way. Warm, cozy, and full of flavor, it’s perfect for family gatherings, summer evenings, or anytime you need a little dose of sweetness.

Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and let it slightly melt into the cobbler, that mix of hot and cold is heavenly. I could happily eat it straight from the dish! Peach cobbler is simple, nostalgic, and delicious, and it always leaves you wanting just one more bite.

How to make peach cobbler

Begin with preheating the oven to 350°F (180°C) and placing a 9×13 inch (23 x 33cm) baking dish inside with butter to melt. This ensures the butter is hot and ready for the batter.

Next, prepare the peaches by simmering them with sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice until the juices thicken slightly. If using canned peaches, simply warm them through without boiling.

Then, make the batter by whisking together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt, and stirring in milk and vanilla extract until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cobbler light and tender.

After that, pour the batter over the hot melted butter in the baking dish without stirring. Spoon the warm peach mixture evenly over the batter, do not mix; the batter will rise around the fruit as it bakes.

Finally, bake for 40–45 minutes until the top is golden and crisp. Let cool slightly, then enjoy warm with a dusting of powdered sugar, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or a dollop of whipped cream.
