EASY COUNTRY PEACH COBBLER
Easy Country Peach Cobbler has the best, soft, cake-like crumble topping! Use canned peaches or fresh peaches. Top with ice cream. Nothing says summertime like peaches. And of course, it wouldn't be summertime without some delicious peach cobbler. There are as many ways to make peach cobbler as there are stars in the sky.
CAN I MAKE THIS PEACH COBBLER WITH FRESH PEACHES?
Everyone has their own favorite or family recipe I suppose. Some folks enjoy a sweet cake-like topping. Other folks prefer a thick biscuit topping. This recipe is a happy marriage between those two I think. The topping is like a thick, sweet cakey-biscuit. Now, I'm making it with canned peaches, but it is simple to make with fresh peaches as well. It just involves a little bit more work. You'll need about 6 medium peaches, sliced (skin removed). Then continue with the rest of the recipe steps.
INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (FULL RECIPE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POST)
- canned sliced peaches
- cinnamon sugar
- all-purpose flour
- sugar
- baking powder
- salted butter
- heavy cream
HOW TO MAKE EASY HOMEMADE PEACH COBBLER:
Preheat oven to 375F degrees. Spray an 8x8 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Pour canned peaches into bottom of baking dish (spreading them out evenly). Sprinkle peaches with cinnamon sugar mixture. To make cinnamon sugar, combine 2 tablespoon granulated sugar with 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
For the topping, in a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar and baking powder.
Then add in the cubed butter. And begin to "cut" it into the flour mixture.
You can use a pastry cutter. Or better yet, use your fingers.
Then pour in heavy cream.
Combine until all the flour mixture has become moist. It will be very thick.
Using a spoon, begin plopping the topping all over the peaches. Just put it on in clumps. Doing your best to cover the peaches. Don't worry about smoothing it out.
Bake for about 40 minutes. Top should be a light golden brown, and you can stick a toothpick in the top to make sure the topping has completely baked through. Then eat it while warm and serve with some vanilla ice cream.

Peaches were on sale last week. Good recipe. I like recipes using and 8 x 8 or 9 x 9 pan. It just my husband and me so we aren't overwhelmed I will try this in the winter using canned peaches.
Oh, my husband liked the topping because it wasn't sugary. I liked all of it.

This looked good undone and my house smells unbelievable. Finished product so beautiful thank you
Candice
How much sugar in the flour mixture? I
Korkee
Making it now but how much salt should I put in?
Brandie @ The Country Cook
Hi Korkee - no additional salt needed since you're using salted butter. 🙂
Val
I had the same question. Step 5 in the instructions reads: "For the topping, in a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt." Perhaps that salt included at the end should be edited out, for clarity.
Brandie @ The Country Cook
That's a good point - I will fix 🙂
Mario
Gonna make this tonight ????
Bonnie
Wow. Just wow. My Mother made the best peach cobbler. I suppose everyone's mother or grandmother made the best. But my Mom's was actually the best - ha! God rest her soul. But this was even better than hers!! I followed your recipe exactly!
Jessie

Being Diabetic, I'm going to substitute Splenda for all the sugar and use frozen Peaches and Blueberries together for the fruit.
Kelli

Christina Higdon
Very easy to make
Jill
I have made this 2 times and its so good. Thanks for the recipe. I'm wondering if it will be good with strawberries instead of peaches? I have a lot of strawberries from my patch and trying to find stuff to make with them.
Brandie @ The Country Cook
Kim, you made my day with that comment! I'm thrilled to peaches! (hee, hee) So happy you loved it!!

Omgosh this was the absolute best peach cobbler I have ever had. I pinned it and it will be my go to forever. It was so easy to make and delicious. I will hand this recipe down to my grandkids. 😀

My car smelled scrumptious on the way to the picnic. Still waiting to eat dinner then we'll be digging in. We all keep going up to it and smelling it 😀
Kim
Just stuck this in the oven, I can not wait to smell it cooking. 🙂 We're taking it to a friends house for a cookout. Hope everyone has a great Memorial Day Weekend and don't forget to remember what this day is about. God Bless all of our Men and Women that gave their all for our freedom.

If I wanted to make blackberry cobbler would I just use blackberries instead of peaches or would it be a different recipe entirely?
Rachel 'n' John
has anyone tried using half & half rather than heavy cream?? I have a lot of half & half and no cream...store close by is closed...
Laura Harrison
If I needed to make a 9x13 cobbler do you think doubling the recipe would be sufficient?

This looks yummy! Can you use frozen peaches instead of fresh, do you have to make any other changes, just figure out how many cups of peaches for the fresh ones. Love peaches. Thanks
Shari
