Bake this easy, old-fashioned Southern peach cobbler featuring sweet, juicy peaches and a buttery, crumbly topping. It is a simple summer baking idea that tastes like comfort food.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups fresh peaches, sliced (or 2 large cans, drained)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (for topping)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for topping)
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar (for topping)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Toss gently to coat the peaches evenly.
  3. Pour the peach mixture into the prepared baking dish. Dot the top evenly with the small pieces of cold butter.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the topping ingredients: 1 cup flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Stir in the milk until just combined to form a thick batter or crumbly topping. Do not overmix.
  7. Spoon the topping mixture evenly over the peaches in the baking dish.
  8. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges.
  9. Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or heavy cream.

Notes

  • If you use canned peaches, use the juice from one can and reduce the added sugar in the filling by 1/4 cup.
  • For a crispier topping, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of coarse sugar over the top before baking.
  • This recipe works well for beginner baking recipes because the topping is forgiving.
