Description
Old Time Oven Peach Cobbler is a classic Southern dessert featuring sweet, juicy peaches baked with a buttery, cake-like topping. It’s comfort food at its best—easy to make and even better with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 can (29 oz) sliced peaches in heavy syrup (or use fresh peaches with 1/2 cup sugar and juice)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place butter in a 9×13-inch baking dish and let it melt in the oven while preheating.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in milk until just combined (batter will be thin).
- Remove baking dish from oven once butter is fully melted. Pour batter evenly over the melted butter—do not stir.
- Spoon peaches and their syrup evenly over the batter. Again, do not stir. If desired, sprinkle cinnamon on top.
- Bake for 45–50 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the batter has risen around the fruit.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Best served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen peaches in place of canned—just sweeten to taste.
- For extra flavor, add a splash of vanilla extract to the batter.
- This cobbler is great served warm or cold and can be reheated easily.
