Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter, melted

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup granulated sugar

1 cup milk

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 (15 oz.) can sliced peaches, drained

Instructions:

This cobbler is a marvel of simplicity. We’re essentially making a quick batter that bakes around the peaches, creating that classic cobbler texture. The melted butter goes in the bottom of the baking dish, and the batter is poured over it. As it bakes, the butter crisps up the bottom layer of the batter, while the top bakes into a tender cake. It’s almost magical how this comes together with so few ingredients.

Preheating and Preparing the Dish

First things first, let’s get our oven ready. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). This temperature is crucial for ensuring the cobbler bakes evenly and the topping gets that perfect golden brown color. While the oven is heating up, grab an 8×8 inch baking dish or a similar-sized oven-safe dish. We’re going to start by melting the butter directly in this dish. Place the 1/2 cup of butter into the empty baking dish and pop it into the preheating oven for just a few minutes, until it’s fully melted and looks nice and liquid. Keep a close eye on it so it doesn’t burn. Once melted, carefully remove the dish from the oven using oven mitts. Swirl the melted butter around to coat the bottom and a little way up the sides of the dish. This butter is going to be the foundation of our delicious crust, giving it a lovely richness and helping it crisp up beautifully.

Creating the Cobbler Batter

Now, let’s whip up the super easy cobbler batter. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon of baking powder. Whisk these dry ingredients together thoroughly. Getting everything well combined now will ensure your batter is smooth and free of lumps later. Once your dry ingredients are mixed, gradually pour in the 1 cup of milk. Stir everything together with a whisk or a spoon until you have a smooth, thick batter. Don’t overmix; just stir until no dry streaks of flour remain. This batter will be quite thick, and that’s exactly what we want. It’s this consistency that helps it hold its shape and bake into that delightful cake-like topping.

Assembling Your Peach Cobbler

With your melted butter coating the bottom of the baking dish, it’s time to add the peaches. Take your drained 15 oz. can of sliced peaches and scatter them evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish. Make sure the peaches are spread out in a single layer as much as possible. You can arrange them nicely if you have a moment, or just distribute them evenly. The goal is to have a good amount of peach in every bite. Now, carefully pour the batter you just made directly over the peaches. Don’t worry about spreading it perfectly; just pour it evenly over the top. As the cobbler bakes, the batter will spread and puff up to cover the peaches, creating that characteristic cobbler topping. You might see a few gaps, and that’s perfectly fine; they will fill in during baking.

Baking to Golden Perfection

Carefully place the baking dish with the assembled cobbler into your preheated 375-degree Fahrenheit oven. Now comes the waiting game, but it’s a delicious anticipation! Bake for approximately 30 to 40 minutes. The exact baking time will depend on your oven, but you’ll know it’s ready when the topping is a beautiful golden brown and the edges are bubbling merrily. You might see some of the peach juices peeking through, and that’s a good sign that it’s cooked through. If the topping starts to brown too quickly before the center is set, you can loosely tent the dish with aluminum foil for the last 10-15 minutes of baking. This will prevent the top from getting too dark while allowing the inside to finish cooking.

Cooling and Serving Your Masterpiece

Once your super easy peach cobbler is golden and bubbling, carefully remove it from the oven using oven mitts. It will be extremely hot, so exercise caution. Let the cobbler cool for at least 10 to 15 minutes before serving. This resting period is important because it allows the cobbler to set slightly, making it easier to serve and preventing you from burning your mouth on molten fruit and batter. As it cools, the flavors will meld together even more, and the texture will become even more delightful. Serve warm, and I highly recommend serving it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. The contrast of the warm, sweet cobbler with the cold, creamy ice cream is absolutely divine and truly elevates this simple dessert to something truly special. Enjoy every single spoonful of your wonderfully easy homemade treat!

FAQs

Can I use frozen peaches for this cobbler?

Absolutely! If you’re using frozen peaches, make sure to thaw them completely and drain off any excess liquid before adding them to the cobbler. This will prevent the filling from becoming too watery.

How long does this peach cobbler keep?

This Super Easy Peach Cobbler is best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave.

What if I don’t have self-rising flour?

No problem! You can make your own self-rising flour by whisking together 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder and ¼ teaspoon of salt. Use this mixture in place of the self-rising flour called for in the recipe.
