Juicy peaches, baked into a savory and buttery crust. This Old-Fashion Peach Cobbler recipe is a popular summertime dessert.
You may also like peach pie, with a very similar filling as peach cobbler, but is cooked between two shells instead.
Peach season is among us. I love this time of year, when the first thing I see when I walk in my local grocery store is a shelf full of fresh peaches. Although, can peaches, such as Dole Monte are great and can be purchased any time of year. There is just something about fresh peaches, I can’t get enough of them.
Peach Cobbler can be made year around with can peaches or frozen peaches.
What is Peach Cobbler?
Cobbler is a dessert consisting of a fruit filling poured into a large baking dish and covered with a batter, before being baked. Some cobbler recipes, especially in the American South, resemble a thick-crusted, deep-dish pie with both a top and bottom crust. Cobbler is part of the cuisine of the United Kingdom and United States and should not be confused with a crumble.
Origin of Peach Cobbler.
Cobblers originated in the British American colonies English settlers were unable to make traditional suet puddings due to lack of suitable ingredients and cooking equipment, so instead covered a stewed filling with a layer of uncooked plain biscuits, scone batter or dumplings, fitted together the origin of the name cobbler, recorded from 1859, is uncertain: it may be related to the archaic word cobbler, meaning “wooden bowl”. Or the term may be due to the topping having the visual appearance of a ‘cobbled’ stone pathway rather than a ‘smooth’ paving which would otherwise be represented by a rolled-out pastry topping.

What kind of peaches for Old-Fashion Peach Cobbler?
I highly recommend using fresh peaches during the summer. Fresh peaches make the most amazing cobbler, but you can also use frozen or can peaches, if you want to enjoy cobbler year around.
If using Canned peaches: Do not drain can peaches. Pour them evenly over top of batter.
If using Frozen Peaches: Do not thaw peaches. Dump them in your casserole dish and add the other ingredients as specified, Frozen peaches have a lot of moisture in them, so your cobbler might be a little juicer than usual. It will not affect the taste, it will be just as good,
Tips for peeling fresh peaches.
You can use a vegetable peeler to peel peaches, or you can blanch them using an ice bath.
How to Blanch Peaches:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
- Score the peaches: While the water is coming to a boil, use a sharp paring knife to make a small “x” through the skin at the base of each peach.
- Blanch the peaches: Put the peaches in the boiling water, making sure they are entirely submerged. Blanch them for 40 seconds
- Use a slotted spoon to transfer the blanched peaches to the bowl of ice water. Leave them to cool, about 1 minute, then drain the peaches.
- Using your fingers or a paring knife peel the skin off the peaches. After blanching, the peel really will come off just that easily.
Ingredients for Old-Fashion Peach Cobbler.
- peaches- 4 cups fresh, 2 15 oz cans or frozen peaches can be used.
- Salt
- butter– Use a butter of your choice.
- all-purpose flour– Flour is used for making Old-fashion peach cobbler batter.
- granulated sugar– You will need sugar for the batter and the peaches.
- baking powder– Not to be confused with baking soda. I have actually done this before with other recipes, let’s just say those dishes ended up in the trash.
- milk-whole
- ground cinnamon– You will need just enough ground cinnamon to sprinkle the top of the cobbler.
How to make Old-Fashion Peach Cobbler:
Step 1:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Slice butter into pieces and add to a 9×13 inch baking dish. Place the pan in the oven while it preheats, to allow the butter to melt. Once the butter has melted, remove pan from the oven and set aside.
Step 2:
(Skip this step if using can or frozen peaches peaches) Add the sliced peaches, sugar, and salt to a saucepan. Stir to combine.
Cook on medium heat for about 5 minutes, until the sugar is completely dissolved. This will bring the juices from the peaches out.
Step 3:
In a large mixing bowl mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the milk, just until combined. Pour the mixture into the pan, over the melted butter and smooth it into an even layer.
Step 4:
Spoon the peaches and juice (or canned peaches, if using) over the batter. Sprinkle cinnamon over the top.
Step 5:
Bake at 350 degrees for about 40-45 minutes.
Enjoy peach cobbler warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. –
