A simple, comforting peach cobbler recipe passed down through generations, featuring a buttery cinnamon crust and tender, juicy peaches. Perfect for summer gatherings and easy to make with pantry staples.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup milk (whole milk preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Peel, pit, and slice the peaches into roughly 1/2-inch thick slices. Place them in a large bowl and toss with lemon juice, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Let sit for 10 minutes to macerate.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Slowly add milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Pour the peach mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Spoon or pour the topping batter over the peaches, covering as much as possible but allowing some fruit to peek through.
  5. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the topping is golden brown and set, and peach juices are bubbling. A toothpick inserted into the topping should come out clean. Let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

If topping browns too quickly but peaches are not bubbly, cover loosely with foil and continue baking. For easier peeling, blanch peaches in boiling water for 30 seconds then plunge into ice water. Adjust sugar based on peach sweetness. Do not overmix batter to keep topping tender. Can be made gluten-free by substituting flour with gluten-free blend. Vegan adaptation possible by using coconut oil and plant-based milk.
