Start by preparing your peaches. If you’re using fresh peaches, peel and slice about 4-5 medium-sized ones. If you’re using canned peaches, just drain the syrup, though you can keep a little for extra sweetness.

In a large bowl, combine the peaches with 1/4 cup of sugar, 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and 1 tsp lemon juice.

Stir everything together gently, ensuring the peaches are well-coated with the sugar and spices. Let this sit for a few minutes while you prepare the batter. This allows the flavors to meld and the peach juices to begin to thicken slightly.

While the peach filling is resting, it’s time to make the easy cobbler batter!

In another bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of sugar, 2 tsp of baking powder, and a pinch of salt.

Gradually stir in 1 cup of milk, followed by 1/2 cup of melted butter. Mix until the batter is smooth and creamy. It will be a bit thin, but that’s exactly what you want—it’ll bake up perfectly in the oven.

Now comes the fun part: assembling everything into one delicious dessert.

Pour the peach filling into the bottom of a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread it out evenly so all the peaches are nestled in the dish.

Pour the batter evenly over the peaches. Don’t worry if the batter doesn’t fully cover the peaches. As it bakes, the batter will rise and spread to create a fluffy topping.

Optional: If you’re feeling adventurous, sprinkle a little cinnamon sugar over the top for an extra touch of sweetness and crunch.

Place the assembled cobbler into a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown, and the peach filling is bubbling at the edges.

Tip: Keep an eye on the cobbler in the final 10 minutes. If the top is browning too quickly, you can cover it with aluminum foil to prevent burning while it continues to cook.

After baking, take the cobbler out of the oven and allow it to cool somewhat before serving. The topping should be light, fluffy, and golden brown, with a perfectly sweet and juicy peach filling underneath.

Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat. It’s the perfect dessert to enjoy with family and friends, and best of all, it’s easy to make!

This easy peach cobbler is one of those recipes you’ll keep coming back to. With its simple preparation and irresistible flavor, it’s sure to become a staple in your baking repertoire!
