This easy peach cobbler is made with sweet, juicy peaches and a golden buttery topping. Use fresh, frozen, or canned peaches for a homemade dessert any time of the year!
Ingredients
3cupssliced yellow peaches, fresh (about 5-6 peaches), frozen, or canned
For serving (optional): Vanilla ice cream or Whipped cream
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter a 9x9-inch (for a thicker crust) or 9x13-inch baking dish. You can also use a cast iron skillet.
Line the bottom with 3 cups peach slices. Sprinkle 2 Tablespoons brown sugar evenly over the top.
In a medium bowl, cream 1/2 cup salted butter and 1/2 cup sugar together with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Mix in 1 teaspoon vanilla. Add 1 cup flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, if desired, and mix just until combined.
Using a large cookie scoop, spoon topping over the peaches (or using your hands, flatten the dough into a large square to place on top of the peaches). Gently press the dough down your hands. Sprinkle 1 Tablespoon sugar over the top.
Bake 35 to 45 minutes, or until lightly browned. Let rest 10 minutes before serving with vanilla ice cream or topped with whipped cream.
Notes
Fresh peaches: I like to add an extra peach if adding to a 9x13-inch pan. Feel free to leave the skin on or peel it off. I typically peel most of them.Canned peaches: Make sure to drain the peaches very well before adding to pan. Storage: Best enjoyed fresh. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 2–3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven until warm.Recipe change 8/20/25: I cut the sugar down from 3/4 cup to 1/2 cup.
