Picking and Prepping Your Peaches

We use a quart jar of our home canned peaches, but commercial canned peaches will work, too.

If you don't have canned peaches, it fine to substitute fresh peaches or frozen peaches. Bring frozen peaches to room temperature before baking, or your peach cobbler will take much longer to bake.

Don't skip tossing your sliced peaches with sugar in step one of the recipe. The sugar binds to the juice coming out of the fruit to make the sauce.

As the peaches sit with sugar on them, more juice will come out, even after they've been drained. Go ahead and scoop the fruit, sugar, and juice mix right on top of your batter.

If your cobbler is still soupy, add a tablespoon of cornstarch to the sugar before mixing the next time around. (Sometimes very ripe fruit is extremely juicy.)

To Peel or Not to Peel?

With fresh peaches, I would peel and slice, but peeling isn't essential. The bake time is long enough that the peels will soften.

That said, peaches regularly make the "Dirty Dozen" list for most sprayed produce. If you choose not to peel, wash well with produce wash or vinegar water.

The easiest way to peel peaches is to dip them in boiling water for about 30 seconds, then plunge them into ice water. The ice water stops the cooking, and the skins slip right off.

Once peeled, you can toss your fresh peach slices with a teaspoon of lemon juice to help prevent browning.

How to Make Peach Cobbler

This homemade peach cobbler recipe starts by draining your peaches and tossing them with a half cup of sugar.

Once the peaches are prepped, preheat your oven to 350F. Place a stick of butter (1/4 pound) into the bottom of your baking dish.

I use a 8×8 glass dish, but you can use a 2 quart casserole dish or even a cast iron frying pan. (This baking dish is nice because it comes with a lid for storage.)

Place the butter in the baking dish and put it in the oven until melted. Remove from the oven and set aside.

In a large bowl, prep the rest of the batter. Mix together 1 cup sugar, 3/4 flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, a pinch of salt, 3/4 cup milk, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla.

Pour the batter over the top of the melted butter. Do not mix. Place the peach slices over the top of the batter.

Bake your peach cobbler for about 1 hour, until top is golden brown and bubbling. Serve warm, with ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.

Can I leave peach cobbler out?

This dessert is best eaten fresh, as it will soften as is sits. It's still good the next day, but not quite as good as fresh.

It's okay to leave leftovers, if any, on the counter top overnight. Refrigerate for longer storage.

Peach Cobbler or Pandowdy?

I know some cobbler recipes call for a pie crust on top, but technically, fruit topped with irregular pastry is called a pandowdy. Think top crust only pie, but a little more "shabby-chic".

Sometimes the batter in a cobbler is dolloped into the pan by large spoonfuls, giving at an appearance more like cobblestones.

For recipes with the fruit placed on the bottom, this allows easier steam venting and helps to keep the dessert from getting soggy.

Easy Peach Cobbler Recipe with Canned Peaches

This easy peach cobbler recipe with canned peaches has that wonderful old fashioned flavor. Serve it plain, or with a scoop  of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a delicious dessert.

• Prep Time: 5 minutes
• Cook Time: 1 hour
• Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes
• Yield: 9 servings 1x
• Category: Dessert

• 2 cups sliced peaches (1 – 16 ounce can or a quart of home canned peaches)
• 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
• 1 stick butter (1/4 pound)
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup milk
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1. Drain peaches and mix with 1/4 cup sugar.
2. Preheat oven to 350F. Place butter in the bottom of a 8×8 inch glass baking dish or 2 quart casserole dish. Set baking dish with butter in oven to melt. Remove from oven once melted.
3. In a medium bowl, mix together one cup sugar, flour, baking powder, salt, milk, and vanilla to form a batter.
4. Pour batter over the top of the butter. Do not stir. Place peaches on top of the batter.
5. Bake your peach cobbler for one hour, or until crust is golden brown. The batter will rise to the top during baking.

Notes

You may increase the amount of sugar on the peaches to 1/2 cup for a sweeter dessert.

If using frozen peaches, bring to room temperature before adding to the cobbler, or you'll need to add extra baking time.

If substituting fresh peaches, peel and slice before use, or skip peeling if you are tight on time.
