Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Sliced Peaches: Canned peaches are the heart of this recipe. If you’re looking for a fresher option, you can use fresh or frozen peaches, just be sure to adjust the baking time as they may need a bit longer to soften.
All-Purpose Flour: This is essential for your batter. For a gluten-free option, consider using a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. I’ve tried it, and it yields great results!
Granulated Sugar: The sugar adds sweetness and helps with browning. You can reduce the amount if you prefer it less sweet or use alternatives like coconut sugar or stevia, keeping in mind it may affect the texture slightly.
Milk: Whole milk gives a rich flavor, but any milk works well. For a dairy-free version, nut milk like almond or oat milk can be used, and it tastes great too!
Butter: Unsalted butter ensures better control over the saltiness. If you’re dairy-free, try using coconut oil or vegan butter for a similar effect.
How Do I Make Sure My Cobbler Topping is Perfectly Golden?
Getting a golden, bubbly topping is all about layering and baking. Here are some tips:
- Pour the batter over the melted butter, but don’t mix! This creates moisture beneath.
- Evenly distribute the peaches on top of the batter to ensure they cook properly.
- If you’re adding sugar syrup, drizzle it carefully – this will help caramelize the topping.
- Keep an eye on the baking time. A nice golden brown on top usually takes about 40-45 minutes, but ovens may vary.
Let it cool for a few minutes before serving; this helps firm up the cobbler! Trust me, that patience pays off!

How Much Time Will You Need?
This delicious peach cobbler takes about 15 minutes to prep and 40-45 minutes to bake, making it a quick dessert that’s ready to serve in under an hour. Perfect for a weeknight treat or a special occasion!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Preheat Your Oven:
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures the cobbler bakes evenly and comes out perfectly golden and bubbly.
2. Prepare the Peaches:
Open the cans of sliced peaches and drain them, but remember to keep the syrup from one can. Set the peaches aside for later use.
3. Mix the Dry Ingredients:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. This helps to evenly distribute the ingredients.
4. Add the Milk:
Pour in the milk and stir until the batter is smooth. Make sure there are no lumps for a nice, fluffy cobbler!
5. Layer the Butter and Batter:
Pour the melted butter into a 9×13-inch baking dish. Then, pour the batter over the melted butter without stirring. This layering helps create a nice base for the cobbler.
6. Add the Peaches:
Spoon the drained peaches evenly over the batter. Make sure they’re distributed well for a delicious peach flavor in every bite!
7. Drizzle the Syrup:
Take the reserved syrup and mix it with the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar, then drizzle it all evenly over the top of the peaches. This will add sweetness and help with caramelization.
8. Add a Sprinkle of Spice:
If you’re feeling it, sprinkle a bit of ground cinnamon or nutmeg on top for extra warmth and flavor.
9. Bake Until Golden:
Place the cobbler in your preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes. Keep an eye out for a golden brown color and bubbling edges—that’s when you know it’s done!
10. Serve and Enjoy:
Once baked, let the cobbler cool for a few minutes. Serve it warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for that extra touch of deliciousness!
Enjoy your easy, sweet, and comforting canned peach cobbler!
FAQ for Easy Canned Peach Cobbler
Can I Use Fresh Peaches Instead of Canned?
Absolutely! If you prefer using fresh peaches, peel and slice about 4-5 medium peaches. You might want to adjust the baking time slightly since fresh peaches take a bit longer to soften. You can also add a bit of sugar to the peaches if they aren’t as sweet.
How Should I Store Leftovers?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm it in the microwave or oven until heated through. A scoop of ice cream on top when serving again can refresh the experience!
What Can I Substitute for Milk?
If you’re looking for a non-dairy option, you can use almond milk, soy milk, or oat milk. They all work well in the recipe and won’t compromise the flavor of your cobbler.
Can I Prepare This Ahead of Time?
You can prepare the batter and layer it with the peaches a few hours ahead and keep it covered in the fridge until you’re ready to bake. Just remember to add a few extra minutes to the baking time if you put it in cold!
