How to Make Peach Cobbler
While many people use cast iron skillets if they have been well seasoned, I prefer a nonstick skillet for easy cleanup. Look for heavy, smooth nonstick pans that are oven safe (do not have plastic handles.) I personally use ceramic coated nonstick pans because I like the way they clean without added toxins, but any large pan you love will work.
Peach Cobbler Ingredients
First assemble the following ingredients:
- White sugar (1 cup) – sweetness the batter for a classic cobbler flavor.
- Flour (1 cup) – forms the base structure that helps the cobbler set as it bakes.
- Salt (A pinch) – enhances sweetness and balances the flavors.
- Milk (¾ cup) – adds moisture and helps create a tender, spoonable batter.
- Baking powder (1 ½ tablespoon) – helps the cobbler rise and develops a fluffy texture.
- Egg (1) – binds the ingredients and adds richness.
- Butter (12 tablespoons, softened) – adds flavor and contributes to a buttery, golden crumb.
- Brown sugar (½ cup) – deepens the sweetness with caramel-like notes.
- Peaches (8, peeled and sliced) – the star ingredients, providing juicy fruit throughout.
- Cinnamon (1 teaspoon) – warms the filling with cozy spice.
- Vanilla extract (2 teaspoons) – adds a fragrant, sweet depth to the dessert.
- Lemon juice (2 teaspoons) – brightens the peaches and balances the overall sweetness.

Peach Cobbler FAQs
The top of the cobbler will brown and slightly crisp, and the peaches will be bubbling hot when done.
While some baked cobblers are designed for canned peaches, or peach pie filling, this recipe was designed to be used with fresh peaches, or fresh-frozen and then thawed and drained peaches. Canned peaches will be too sweet and too watery in this preparation.
Help! I see butter in the list of ingredients and I’ve looked over the directions several times and don’t see where the butter is used? Thanks for you help.
Hi there! The butter is mixed with the cinnamon, sugar, and lemon to coat the peaches. Thank you for pointing this out! I have updated the recipe so no one else gets confused.
