The Best Peach Cobbler Ever! 🍑

There’s something magical about a warm, bubbling peach cobbler fresh out of the oven. Whether you’re serving it as a comforting dessert after a family dinner or bringing it to a summer potluck, this peach cobbler is always a hit. With its juicy peaches, fluffy base, and buttery pecan crumble topping, it’s the perfect balance of sweet, spiced, and satisfying.

This recipe is my go-to when I want a dessert that’s both simple and showstopping. It uses canned peaches for convenience, but you’d never guess it from the incredible flavor. And let’s be honest—topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, it’s downright irresistible.

Ingredients

For the Filling:

  • 2 cans (29 oz each) sliced peaches in syrup, drained (reserve 1/4 cup of syrup)

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional but recommended for extra warmth!)

  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

For the Base:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

  • 1/2 cup milk

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Crumble Topping:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 3/4 cup brown sugar (packed)

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 3/4 cup chopped pecans

Directions

1. Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.

2. Prepare the Filling

In a large bowl, combine:

  • Drained peaches

  • Reserved syrup

  • Granulated sugar

  • Vanilla extract

  • Cinnamon

  • Nutmeg (if using)

  • Cornstarch

  • Lemon juice

Toss gently to coat the peaches evenly. Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish.

3. Prepare the Base

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Stir in the milk and melted butter until just combined. Pour the batter evenly over the peach mixture.

4. Prepare the Crumble Topping

In a medium bowl, combine:

  • Flour

  • Brown sugar

  • Cinnamon

  • Salt

Stir in the melted butter until the mixture forms coarse crumbs. Add the chopped pecans and mix well.

5. Assemble the Cobbler

Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the batter.

6. Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly around the edges.

7. Cool and Serve

Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving. Pair it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for the ultimate treat.
