Southern Style Peach Cobbler

 

This Southern Style Peach Cobbler is a simple and delicious dessert that I like to make year-round. You can use fresh or canned peaches and it calls for very minimal ingredients which is always a win in my house. I serve this dessert while it is still warm with a side of vanilla ice cream, and we never have any leftovers.

 

 Ingredients 

  • ½ cup butter, melted 
  • ½ cup brown sugar 
  • ½ cup white sugar 
  • 1 cup self-rising flour 
  • 2 16-ounce cans sliced peaches, one drained, one undrained 
  • 1 cup whole milk 
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract 
  • ground cinnamon 

 

How To Make Southern Style Peach Cobbler 

 

Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees. Then in a 7×11 baking dish, add the butter and place it into the oven just long enough until it is melted.  

While the butter is melting, add self-rising flour, brown sugar, white sugar, milk and vanilla extract into a large mixing bowl. Whisk everything together until it is smooth, and no lumps are present in the mixture. 

Next remove the baking dish from the oven and pour the dough mixture on top of the melted butter. Make sure not to stir it together. Then pour one drained can and one undrained can of peaches on top. Once again, do not stir the ingredients together.  

Finish off by sprinkling some ground cinnamon on top. Then bake it at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes until the top is golden-brown and the dough is fully cooked. Allow the cobbler to cool for 10-15 minutes then serve it while it is still warm with a side of vanilla ice cream. I hope y’all enjoy this southern style peach cobbler as much as we do!

FAQ 

 

Will all-purpose flour work as a substitute? 

  • No. To use all-purpose flour, you will need to add 1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder and ¼ teaspoon of table salt and whisk it together. This measurement should be used for every 1 cup of all-purpose flour.  

Can I use fresh peaches? 

  • Of course! This recipe would translate to about 4 cups of fresh peaches. But make sure to add extra sugar to the peaches based on the ripeness. 1 to 2 cups should be enough for 4 cups of peaches but let your taste be the judge.

      I highly recommend just using self rising flour so you can avoid any issues. If you use regular all-purpose flour you have to add 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon table salt per each cup of flour.

      Keep the same ingredients and swap the peaches for cherry filling. If you wanna do blueberry, I have a recipe for that because there are a few extra steps but you can search for it with the search bar at the top of the page.
