A warm, comforting peach cobbler made with canned sliced peaches and a golden, buttery crust. Ready in under an hour with pantry staples and no fresh fruit prep required.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large can (29 oz) sliced peaches with about half the syrup reserved
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Place 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter in a 9×13-inch baking dish and put it in the oven until melted; remove the dish.
  3. Drain the canned peaches, reserving about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of the syrup or juice.
  4. Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl.
  5. Stir in milk and vanilla extract (if using) until just combined—do not overmix.
  6. Pour the batter gently over the melted butter in the baking dish without stirring.
  7. Spoon the drained peaches evenly over the batter and drizzle reserved syrup or juice on top without stirring.
  8. Sprinkle cinnamon and nutmeg on top if desired.
  9. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the crust comes out clean.
  10. Let cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Use heavy syrup peaches for a sweeter, richer filling and light syrup or juice-packed peaches for a lighter sweetness., Adjust sugar or add spices if using juice-packed peaches., Keep the batter and peaches layered without stirring to allow the batter to rise around the peaches., Try self-rising flour to skip baking powder., Add flavor twists such as fresh or frozen berries, brown sugar topping, extra spices, lemon zest, or almond extract., For gluten-free, substitute 1-to-1 gluten-free flour blend., For vegan option, use plant-based butter and non-dairy milk like almond or oat milk., Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 5 days; reheat in oven at 300°F for 10 minutes or microwave for 30-45 seconds., Freeze wrapped tightly for up to 2 months; thaw in fridge overnight before reheating.
