Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 (16 ounce) package frozen peach slices
2/3 cup white sugar (for peaches)
1/2 cup water
1 cup all‑purpose flour
1 cup white sugar (for batter)
1/2 cup milk
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the melted butter in a 2‑quart baking dish.
In a saucepan over medium‑high heat, combine the frozen peaches, 2/3 cup sugar, and water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat.
In a bowl, mix together the flour, 1 cup sugar, milk, baking powder, and salt until just combined. Pour this batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish.
Arrange the peaches over the batter and pour any remaining peach liquid on top.
Bake in the preheated oven until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly, about 40–45 minutes.

Variations

Fresh peaches: Use fresh peeled and sliced peaches when in season; adjust sugar if they’re very sweet.
Spice it up: Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the peach mixture for extra warmth.
Brown sugar crust: Swap some or all of the white sugar in the batter with brown sugar for a richer flavor.
Fruit mix‑in: Stir in a handful of raspberries or blueberries with the peaches for a mixed fruit cobbler.

Storage/Reheating

Refrigerator: Cover and refrigerate leftovers for up to 3–4 days.
Freezing: Fruit cobblers don’t freeze as well once baked, but you can freeze individual portions in airtight containers for up to 1 month.
Reheating: Warm individual servings in the microwave for about 30–60 seconds, or heat in a 350°F oven for 10–15 minutes until hot.

FAQs

What can I use instead of frozen peaches?

You can use fresh peaches (peeled and sliced) when available. If using canned peaches, drain them and use some of the syrup for sweetness.

Can I make this gluten‑free?

Yes, replace all‑purpose flour with a gluten‑free 1:1 baking flour blend.

Do I need to thaw the frozen peaches first?

No, this recipe uses frozen peaches straight from the package.

Can I reduce the sugar?

Yes, you can reduce sugar in both the peach mixture and batter if you prefer less sweetness.

What size baking dish should I use?

A 2‑quart baking dish is ideal for even cooking.

Can this cobbler be made ahead of time?

You can prepare the filling and batter ahead but best to bake just before serving.

Is it okay to add spices?

Absolutely — cinnamon, nutmeg, or a touch of vanilla can enhance the flavor.

How do I know when the cobbler is done?

The top should be golden and a toothpick inserted in the center of the batter should come out clean.

Can I serve this with ice cream?

Yes, vanilla ice cream or whipped cream pairs beautifully with warm cobbler.

What if my cobbler turns out too runny?

Make sure the peaches are slightly thickened before adding and bake long enough for the batter to set.

Kelley’s Peach Cobbler is a beloved dessert that’s easy to make and satisfying to share. With juicy peaches and a tender, golden crust, it’s a crowd‑pleasing classic that brings a warm finish to any meal.
