Instructions

1
Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C).
2
Pour two cans of sliced peaches, including the heavy syrup, into a 9x13 inch baking pan.
3
Using a knife, roughly chop the peaches into smaller, bite-sized pieces directly in the pan.
4
Sprinkle ground cinnamon generously over the peaches.
5
Sprinkle 1/4 cup of granulated sugar over the peaches and stir gently to combine.
6
In a separate mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of self-rising flour and 1 cup of granulated sugar. Stir to mix.
7
Pour in 1 cup of milk and whisk until a smooth batter forms.
8
Pour the batter evenly over the peach mixture in the baking pan. Do not stir.
9
Bake for about 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
10
Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool slightly.
11
While still hot, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, if desired.
12
Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Do not overmix the batter—fold the wet and dry ingredients together until just combined to keep the topping tender and biscuit-like.
Let the cobbler rest 10–15 minutes after baking before serving so the batter sets and the filling cools to a safe temperature.
For extra cinnamon flavor, sprinkle the cinnamon sugar topping directly onto the wet batter before baking so it caramelizes on top.
Pour the batter directly over the peaches without stirring; it will rise and bake on top as it cooks, creating a cake-like topping.

Substitutions

Self-rising flour → all-purpose flour mixed with 1½ tsp baking powder and ½ tsp salt per cup
Vanilla ice cream → whipped cream, sour cream, or Greek yogurt (for a tangy complement)
Cinnamon → nutmeg or allspice (use 1 tsp in the filling and sprinkle on top)

Storage & make-ahead

Store covered at room temperature up to 2 days or refrigerated up to 4 days. Reheat gently in a 300°F oven until warm before serving with ice cream.

Common Questions

Can I use fresh peaches instead of canned?

Yes. Use about 4–5 fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced. Toss with 1/4 cup sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon, then proceed as written.

Why is my cobbler topping dense or doughy?

Overmixing the batter develops gluten and creates density. Mix the flour, sugar, and milk just until combined with a few small lumps remaining.

How do I know when the cobbler is done baking?

The topping should be golden brown and a toothpick inserted into it comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs. The fruit should bubble slightly at the edges.

Can I make this cobbler ahead?

Assemble the cobbler up to 4 hours ahead, cover, and refrigerate. Add 5–10 minutes to bake time. Store leftovers covered at room temperature up to 2 days or refrigerated up to 4 days; reheat gently in a 300°F oven.
