How To Peel Peaches
- Fill a bowl with ice water. Boil water in a separate large pot. Cut a small X on the bottom of each peach. Using a slotted spoon, put the peaches into the boiling water and leave them there for 30 to 60 seconds. Then remove the peaches from the boiling water and place them in the ice water. After cooling, peel off the skin starting at the X.

I have tried many different versions of peach cobbler over the years – some made with Bisquik, others made with a cake mix – but none of them were as good as this from-scratch recipe. So why wait? Grab those fresh peaches and start baking!
How To Store Peach Cobbler
- This cobbler is best when it’s warm, freshly out of the oven. Keep any leftovers in the fridge, covered, and consume within 4 days.

Easy Peach Cobbler
Ingredients
- 8 average-sized peaches, peeled, cored, and sliced
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- pinch of salt
- ½ cup butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350˚F. Lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish with butter and set aside.
- Arrange the peach slices on the bottom of the baking dish. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons sugar and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, 3/4 cup sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- Melt the butter, then whisk in the vanilla. Pour the butter mixture over the flour mixture and stir until everything is incorporated and the batter is moist. It will resemble a cookie batter.
- Using your hands, sprinkle the batter over the peaches.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until browned on top and bubbly.
- Remove from oven and let stand at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes. Serve warm with ice cream.
Notes
- Use ripe, fragrant peaches for your cobbler, and peel them using the blanching method. You can also use canned or jarred peaches; you will need around 5 cups of sliced peaches.
- Adjust the recipe’s sugar according to the sweetness of the peaches.
- Prevent a soggy cobbler by coating peach slices in flour or cornstarch to thicken the juice.
- Use a wider, shallow baking dish for even cooking and a balanced peach-to-topping ratio.
- Serve the cobbler warm from the oven, topped with vanilla ice cream for a perfect contrast.
