In our classic southern-style peach cobbler, we layer the fruit on top of the batter before baking. In the oven, the sweet batter rises through the peaches, creating a light and airy cake-like topping. We left the peaches unpeeled, which adds a nice color and makes the recipe even easier. Serve it with vanilla ice cream for the perfect summer dessert.

Ingredients
- 5 small peaches, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices (about 5 cups)
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup milk, at room temperature
Instructions
- For the filling: Put the peaches, sugar, cinnamon, salt and lemon juice in a medium saucepan. Place over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved and the peach juices begin to boil. Lower to a simmer and continue to cook for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- For the batter: Put the butter in a 2-quart baking dish and place it in the oven while it preheats. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Stir the vanilla into the milk in a liquid measuring cup. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients while whisking until well combined.
- Remove the baking dish from the oven and pour the batter in an even layer over the melted butter. Spoon the peaches along with their juices evenly over the top of the batter. Bake until the cobbler is golden brown on top and the peach juices are bubbling, 35 to 45 minutes.
- Let cool to room temperature before serving.

very quick and easy way to use up peaches that were not going to be the best to eat fresh. Heat it and serve with ice cream – delicious! We do prefer cobbler recipes with oatmeal so not sure if I will make it again or not.
Very good recipe, I just used. 1/2 cup sugar for both the filling and batter and added 1/4 cup flour
This is a very good recipe! Leaving the peaches unpeeled gives the cobbler a pretty color and adds to the ease!
GRRRRREAT!!!
This really is the best peach cobbler ever. It disappears quickly every time I make it, always to rave reviews.
This was a huge hit with my family! Pretty quick and easy to make, after slicing the peaches.
I just made this and the recipe is perfect…It’s actually like a peach clafoutis; if it didn’t work for you, you probably didn’t bake it fully ;there is no need to add more flour or less milk. Enjoy!
I’ve made this several times. Everyone loves it. So easy to make and the batter is light and fluffy and delicious.
Great recipe the only thing I changed was the flour instead of 3/4 of a cup I did 1 cup
Made this today and it is perfect!
