Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Canned Peaches: Use sliced peaches packed in syrup for added sweetness. If you’re feeling adventurous, try fresh or frozen peaches in season, but adjust the sugar if they’re not sweet enough.
Granulated Sugar: This recipe calls for 1 cup of sugar. If you’re looking to cut down on sugar, try using half as much and see how it turns out. Honey or maple syrup could also work, but you’d need to adjust the liquid content slightly.
All-Purpose Flour: Regular flour is ideal, but if you’re gluten-sensitive, gluten-free flour blends can work too. Just ensure it has a good structure for the batter.
Milk: Any milk works here! Almond milk or oat milk are great dairy-free options. If you want a richer flavor, you can use half-and-half or cream.
Cinnamon: This adds warmth to the dish. If you don’t have cinnamon, try nutmeg or pumpkin spice for a different twist!
How Do You Create That Perfect Cobbler Batter?
Crafting the right batter is key! Start by mixing your dry ingredients well before adding the milk. This ensures everything distributes evenly. Don’t overmix; you want some lumps for a nice texture. Here’s how to nail it:
- Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in one bowl.
- Pour in milk and stir gently until just combined – a few lumps are okay.
- Pour this batter over melted butter without stirring; this lets the butter bubble up during baking, creating a crusty bottom.
These steps will give you that beautifully layered cobbler everyone loves!

How Much Time Will You Need?
This delicious cobbler takes about 10 minutes to prepare and 40-45 minutes to bake. It’s super quick to set up and fills your kitchen with a lovely aroma as it bakes!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Preheat Your Oven:
Start by setting your oven to preheat at 350°F (175°C). This will ensure it’s nice and hot when you’re ready to bake your cobbler.
2. Prepare the Peaches:
Open the cans of sliced peaches and drain them, but don’t throw away the syrup! You’ll want to save that for later. Just set the peaches aside for now.
3. Mix the Dry Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Mix these dry ingredients together well. This step gives your batter a great flavor!
4. Add the Milk:
Next, stir in the milk gently until everything is just combined. Be careful not to overmix—it’s okay if the batter has a few lumps!
5. Prepare the Baking Dish:
Take your 9×13-inch baking dish and pour the melted butter into the bottom. Make sure it’s evenly spread out. Now, pour the batter over the butter—don’t stir it together!
6. Add the Peaches:
Now, spoon the drained peaches over the batter evenly. This will create a delicious layer of sweet fruit on top.
7. Drizzle the Syrup:
Take the reserved peach syrup and drizzle about 1/2 cup of it over the peaches. This syrup adds extra flavor and sweetness, making the cobbler even tastier!
8. Sprinkle with Sugar:
Finally, sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar evenly over the top of the cobbler. This will help create a nice, sweet crust.
9. Bake the Cobbler:
Place your dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 40-45 minutes. Look for a golden brown top and a bubbly filling. Yum!
10. Let it Cool and Serve:
Once baked, let the cobbler cool for just a few minutes. Then, serve it warm! For an extra treat, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Enjoy your easy and delicious peach cobbler!
FAQ for Easy Canned Peach Cobbler
Can I Use Fresh Peaches Instead of Canned?
Absolutely! If using fresh peaches, peel and slice about 4-5 medium peaches. You may want to add a bit of sugar to sweeten them, especially if they aren’t very ripe. You can also cook them down slightly before adding them to the cobbler.
What if I Don’t Have Baking Powder?
If you’re out of baking powder, you can use a combination of baking soda and cream of tartar. Use 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda and 1 teaspoon of cream of tartar for every 1 teaspoon of baking powder needed.
How Do I Store Leftovers?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm it in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until heated through, or microwave individual portions for a quicker option.
Can I Make This Recipe Vegan?
Yes! You can substitute the milk with a plant-based milk (like almond or oat milk) and replace the butter with a vegan butter alternative or coconut oil. The cobbler will still turn out delicious!
