The Best Peach Cobbler Recipe Ever + Video

Print Recipe

This is the Best Peach Cobbler Recipe you’ll ever try! Fresh sweet peaches baked with a crispy cobbler topping is the perfect summer dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced into thin wedges
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat oven to 400°F if using a dark or glass pan, or 425°F if using a light metal baking dish.
  2. Make the Peach Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine sliced peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Toss gently until evenly coated.
  3. Parbake the Peaches: Pour the peach mixture into a 2-quart baking dish. Bake for 10 minutes while you prepare the topping.
  4. Prepare the Topping: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, both sugars, baking powder, and salt. Using your fingertips or a pastry blender, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add boiling water and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Assemble the Cobbler: Remove the dish from the oven and drop spoonfuls of the topping over the warm peaches. Dont worry about covering the whole surface. You want those peaches to peek through.
  6. Finish and Bake: Sprinkle the entire cobbler with the remaining sugar. Place the baking dish on a rimmed baking sheet to catch any drips. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly around the edges.
  7. Serve: Let cool slightly. Serve warm with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.

Notes

Make-Ahead Tips: You can slice and sugar the peaches a few hours in advance and store them in the fridge. Assemble the topping just before baking.
Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven until warmed through.
Freezing Instructions: Freeze fully baked and cooled cobbler in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat at 350°F until warmed through.
Customization Ideas: Add a handful of blueberries or raspberries to the peach filling for a fun twist. For a crunchier topping, sprinkle coarse sugar over the topping before baking. Serve with cinnamon ice cream for a spicy-sweet finish.
