Easy Peach Cobbler Recipe
A simple and sweet easy peach cobbler recipe using frozen peaches, Fall spices, and a self-rising crust. Making a peach cobbler has never been easier!
I know it’s not Fall yet, but we just couldn’t help ourselves. Kim and I were craving a cobbler and wanted something a little different.
She decided to adapt one of my Mom’s old recipes. Originally, it used canned fruit as a filling, like cherries or blueberries.
Unfortunately, I don’t buy canned fruit. I prefer to work with fresh or frozen. Since we had a bag of frozen peaches, that’s went into our dish.
Now, most cobblers use a pie crust or biscuits as a topping. What set my Mom’s version apart was that it used a self-rising crust.
For me, that’s the best part! Seriously, who doesn’t love sweet breading cooked in butter? Now, enough talk, let’s get cooking!
Peach Cobbler Recipe Instructions:
First, preheat your oven to 350° F. and grab a nine by thirteen (9 x 13) inch baking dish. Set it aside for now because we need to get the filling started.
Next, in a large mixing bowl, combine the peaches, cornstarch, lemon juice, salt, spices, and sugar. Toss everything together and let the peaches sit while you work on everything else.
After that, lay the butter into your baking dish.
Place it into the oven for about two (2) to four (4) minutes. Basically, long enough for the butter to melt but not separate.
Then, in another medium to large sized mixing bowl, combine the rest of the crust ingredients. Whisk together the baking powder, cinnamon, flour, milk, salt, and sugar.
Afterward, pour the batter directly into the melted butter.
You’ll want to be very careful when working with the hot butter as it can pop and sizzle. Try not to burn yourself.
At this point, you can start to add the peaches. Layer them in, right on top of the batter.
Don’t forget to pour the peach juice into the cobbler as well.
It sounds crazy, I know. But, trust me, the batter will rise over the fruit and it will be awesome!
Last, pop the dessert into your oven to bake for about forty-five (45) minutes or until the topping is golden brown.
Once removed from the oven, let it cool for thirty (30) minutes before scooping.
That’s it, your easy peach cobbler recipe is done! Kim and I hope you enjoy the dish and wish you all the best 🙂
Easy Peach Cobbler Recipe tips:
When adding the peaches, be sure to leave ample space between the slices of fruit. Otherwise, the crust may not rise properly. Take a look at the fourth (4th) photo on the page and use it as a reference.
We used frozen peaches for this recipe. Make sure they’re thawed out before you use them, but don’t discard the liquid. You’ll need it for the filling.
My last tip is to use whatever fruit you want. As I stated earlier, my Mom used to make these kinds of cobblers growing up.
She used canned pie filling, cherry and other varieties. So, don’t let your creativity get stifled by a recipe. Use whatever fruit you desire.
