There’s something about the smell of a peach cobbler baking in the oven that feels like home.
Warm, buttery, and filled with peaches, this cobbler is the kind of dessert that makes everyone wander into the kitchen to ask, “When will it be ready?”
This is a family favorite recipe that my mother used to make. Peach cobbler is often considered a “peach season” dessert, but let’s be real—who says we should only enjoy it during this time of year and need to use fresh peaches?
I’ve found that this recipe is even better (and easier!) when made with canned peaches.
That means you can whip it up any time of year—whether it’s the middle of September or a chilly winter evening when you’re craving a little comfort food.
And the best part? The smell that fills your house while this bakes is out-of-this-world yummy.
Think warm peaches, a hint of cinnamon, nutmeg and buttery cake topping all mingling together—pure heaven.
Peach Cobbler Ingredients
- 1 Stick Butter (8 TB)
- ¾ cup-1 cup sugar
- 1 cup flour
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp. salt
- ¾ cup milk
- 1 qt. Bottled Peaches or one large can of peaches (about 29 oz.), with juice
Topping (optional but delicious):
- ½ tsp. Cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp. Nutmeg (freshly ground is the magic ingriedient)!
Instructions
If you want to double the recipe (which I do a lot), bake in a 9 x 13 pan.
- Cut the stick of butter into chunks and place it in a square baking dish

- Place the pan in the oven while the oven preheats to 350°F.

- Combine the sugar (1 cup), flour(1 cup), baking powder(1 1/2 tsp.), and milk (1 cup) in a mixing bowl and mix until smooth.

- Pour this batter mixture over the melted butter in your pan. (Don’t stir!)

- Spoon the peaches and juice right on top of the batter. (Resist the urge to stir—the magic of cobbler is that it creates its own crust while baking.)

- Sprinkle the top with cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and sugar if desired.

- Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until golden and bubbly.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, and you’ve got yourself the perfect fall (or anytime!) dessert.

- 1 (28-ounce) can whole San Marzano tomatoes, certified D.O.P. if possible
