Easy Peach Cobbler – A Cup, A Cup, A Cup

by

Introduction

This Easy Peach Cobbler is the ultimate no-fuss dessert, made with just five simple ingredients and a “cup-for-cup” measuring method that makes it impossible to forget! With a golden, cake-like topping and sweet, juicy peaches underneath, this cobbler is perfect for last-minute gatherings, weeknight treats, or anytime you crave a warm, comforting dessert.

The best part? You don’t need fresh peaches—canned peaches work beautifully, and their syrup adds natural sweetness. A sprinkle of cinnamon and sugar on top creates a lightly crisp crust, while the melted butter (though optional) adds rich flavor. Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate indulgence.

Ingredients

(Serves 6-8)

Cobbler Base:

  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1 (15 oz) can sliced peaches, with juice (about 1½ cups peaches + ½ cup juice)

Optional but Recommended:

  • ½ cup (115g) melted butter (for richer flavor)

Topping:

  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar (for sprinkling)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat & Prep

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Lightly grease an 8×8-inch or 9×9-inch baking dish.

Step 2: Make the Batter

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together:
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup milk
  1. Stir until smooth (a few small lumps are okay).

Step 3: Assemble the Cobbler

  1. If using butter, pour melted butter into the baking dish first.
  2. Pour the batter evenly over the butter (do not stir).
  3. Spoon peaches and juice evenly over the batter (still no stirring).

Step 4: Add Topping & Bake

  1. Mix ½ tsp cinnamon + 1 tbsp sugar, then sprinkle over the top.
  2. Bake for 45-50 minutes, until golden and bubbly.

Step 5: Serve Warm

  • Let cool slightly, then serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Tips for Success

✔ No butter? The cobbler will still work but will be less rich.
✔ Fresh peaches? Use 2 cups sliced peaches + ½ cup water or juice.
✔ Extra flavor? Add ½ tsp vanilla or a pinch of nutmeg to the batter.
✔ Storage: Keeps for 3 days refrigerated—reheat before serving.
