Growing up in the South, you MUST love peach cobbler. It’s served at every barbecue joint you visit and everyone’s grandma has the best peach cobbler recipe EVER. Well, I’m no one’s grandma but this is the BEST Southern Peach Cobbler recipe I have ever made or eaten.
Putting the batter under the peaches may seem a bit weird but it will reverse while baking. The crust will end up right on top like it is supposed to.
The Best Peach Cobbler, Promise!
And the yummy crust is cakey instead of too biscuit-y. When it cooks, it bakes through the butter leaving a buttery caramelized crust.
You’ll find yourself making sure you get one of the corner pieces with the maximum amount of caramelized goodness. It’s soul food peach cobbler at its finest.
Make this next time you have a cookout and I PROMISE people will ask for your recipe. It’s up to you whether you give them the recipe or swear that your great grandma Mabel made you SWEAR to never share it with anyone.
Or give it to them with the understanding that you will be eating the best peach cobbler at their next cookout too. I think either can be a win/win.
Love cobbler but want to try a few new flavours, may I recommend my Snickerdoodle Apple Cobbler Recipe with a cinnamon sugar cookie topping, my Easy Cherry Peach Cobbler with cherries and an almond flavoured crust or my oeey gooey ultra-chocolatey Chocolate Cobbler. Yum!
This recipe has been the #1 on my blog for YEARS even with the no good, really bad pictures. I am republishing it with nice new photos. I hope you enjoy them.

Samantha says
Mmm, I am going to try this as soon as my peaches are fully ripe!
Merry120 says
You definitely should….it is sooooo good.
Alexander says
Honestly how can you stand it with 2 cups of sugar in there? I started with one cup in the batter and none on the peaches and it is almost to sweet to eat.
Merry Kuchle says
What kind of peaches did you use? To make it a cobbler, the peaches need some sugar to become like a pie filling of sorts. No sugar wouldn’t work.
David says
I agree with Alexander. 2 cups of sugar made it excessively sweet. Almost too sweet to eat. I may halve the sugar next time, because besides the extreme sweetness, it was delicious.
Merry Kuchle says
Hmmm….I’m wondering what is the difference. Did you use all the same other ingredients or did you substitute something?
LeSheeka says
My oh my!! Hi, I am LeSheeka from NY… I used your recipe for Easter and it was amazing 😉 I used 1 large can of peaches in heavy syrup; I did not drain them and I added a little vanilla to milk and a little nutmeg and cinnamon to dry ingredients and I only used 1 cup sugar instead of 2 b/c I used canned peaches in heavy syrup instead of fresh peaches. Thanks! We Loved it!
Merry Kuchle says
yay!!
Cathy says
Why are you looking at deserts if you’re concerned about sugar. Just sayin. The 2 cups of sugar was perfect
Brenda Hardister says
I use 1 cup of sugar, 1 cup of self- rising flour, 1 cup of milk and mix this and
pour over the melted butter. I then add a can of sliced peaches with juice on
top of that and bake for an hour on 350. It is perfect and sweet enough.
Merry Kuchle says
LOL. But why comment that on my recipe?
Also, self rising flour is really only found in the US. So most people use all purpose.
Salena Bissette says
I have been looking a recipe for good old fashioned Southern cobbler and this recipe nailed it!!!! My family loves it!!!!! Thank you!!!
Anonymous says
It really looks doable! And I have an excess of peaches in the house. Thanks for the recipe 😉
Merry120 says
It’s very easy. It went from start to table in about 45 minutes.
Jackie says
Hi
This looks delicious! If I’m using fresh peaches I’m assuming I take the skin off?
Thx
Merry Kuchle says
I would.
Sheila says
This recipe is tried & true. My mom has made this fast delicious, quick recipe for years. THANKS
Chelsea says
Can I double this recipe in one pan or should I make two separate pans?
Merry Kuchle says
If you use a big pan, I think you could double it no problem. Just make sure to bake it until the top is browned.
Harriet says
I just put my SECOND cobbler in the oven! Winner!
Sheila says
Which recipe?
Dana Wheatley says
I halved the recipe and made it with frozen (thawed) peaches, mangoes and strawberries. It was so good!
Tiffany says
♪ Movin’ to the country, gonna eat a lot of peaches.
Movin’ to the country, gonna eat a lot of peaches.
Movin’ TO the COUNTRY! Gonna eat me a lot of peaches. ♬
(Sorry, had to.)
Merry120 says
I love you, Tiffany. That is all. 😉
Beth says
My Granny made all her Cobblers like this!! Thank you for sharing this recipe with me =)
Merry says
You’re welcome! It is DELICIOUS!
kathy blair says
recipe
Leona says
I am assuming you mean to a boil not to a bowl. 🙂
Merry Kuchle says
Yes! LOL. What is it that they say “Want someone to comment on your blog, just misspell something”. 🙂
Rowena says
Can i leave the lemon juice out? Would iy make a big difference?
Merry Kuchle says
I’m sure you could.
Brenda says
Hi Merry,
I am 73 years old…I used the 1 cup margarine,or butter,whatever I had at the time….1 cup of Flour, 1cup sugar, 1 cup milk…
Melted butter in pan,in the oven.put batter in on top of butter, then put fruit on top and baked…that was back in the late 1960 or early 1970….I raised 5 kids, so we all loved this recipe…Now I bake with Plain Flour,because I love making deserts from scratch….so now I use which ever flour I have on hand…your recipe sounds so good and like I used to make,just a little different….when I saw the recipe,it brought back many good memories. Thank you…
Merry Kuchle says
Awww! Thank you for commenting. I’m glad it brought back good memories. So many of my recipes remind me of my Granny and when we used to bake together so I understand that food-recipe-memory connection!
Maddie says
Do you drain the peaches? I know most cobbler recipes you don’t lol.
Merry Kuchle says
I use fresh or frozen peaches and then I don’t drain them from the sugar liquid you boil them in. If you are using canned peaches, I would drain them.
Ms. B says
Did the person that commented on it being too sweet use fresh peaches or canned? Using fresh peaches you need the 2 cups of sugar but when I use one large can of peaches, I only use one cup sugar and it is delish! And, you do not drain them. Hope that helps.
Ms. B says
Also, using one large can of peaches with syrup, means you do not have to boil them to dissolve the sugar. Just add the sugar to the flour mixture. One less step involved which I love!!
Merry Kuchle says
Thanks for that tips!
Carolyn Thomason says
Thank you.Im using canned that answered my question.
Tammy says
I make a peach cobbler just like that except I use canned peaches,and I don’t boil them. Butter in pan in oven sugar flour milk cinnamon is an option the recipe came from Paula Dean, and I don’t drain the peaches. I use some of the juice in the cobbler and my husband loves it. You can use fresh or frozen, I use the canned.
britney says
I really want to try this… will the peaches, sugar, and 1 Tbsp lemon juice alone come to a boil?
Thank you so much for this recipe!!!
Merry Kuchle says
They will. The peaches will start to let go of their juice and that will mix with the lemon and the sugar.
Terri B says
Hi Merry,
I’m planning to make your delicious looking cobbler for Thanksgiving. Never made a cobbler before so I’m just a little nervous about how it will turn out! I just had a question about the lemon juice. How does it add to the flavor and will it make it tart? Can I omit it?
Merry Kuchle says
It does not make it tart at all. It just keeps the peaches nice and bright. I’m sure you could leave it out but if you have it, throw it in. You won’t taste it.
Angie says
i tried with canned peaches and drained them and it came out pretty dried , so next time i will try with juice hopefully it comes out better or i just wait till peach season comes around 🙂
Bret says
My family isn’t a huge peach fan so i was wondering if it would work if i followed the recipe but switch out the peaches for apples? Do you think this would work?
Merry Kuchle says
Hmm….apples aren’t as juicy as peaches. I think that would be your only issue. Maybe try it but add about 1/3 cup of water at the boiling point in the instructions?
NTheBushes says
I would add apple juice or cider instead of water.
Kimberly says
I just made it, the first cobbler I’ve ever made and the pan was pretty much licked clean within 30mins of it being out of the oven! It was awesome!
Merry Kuchle says
Yay! I’m so glad everyone liked it. It is my fave…something about the buttery sweet and the peaches is magic.
Denise Reed says
I made this with a quart of canned peaches that I put up last summer. Did not have to add the lemon or sugar (since that is done in the canning process). Just dumped the jar into a pot and brought to boiling. OMG it came out so good. This is a recipe I will use over and over. Thank you!
Jennifer says
Can I use cake mix? Like mix the cake mix as if I was baking it, then put the peaches on top
Merry120 says
Maybe? It would taste a lot different. As there aren’t any unusual ingredients in the recipe, I would recommend just making it that way for the best (and yummiest) results.
Jim says
I’m making this for the second time this week, our peach tree is pumping out the most delicious fruit this year so I was looking for a good cobbler recipe and thank god I found this one, I’ll never need another.
Thank you for posting this, it is sooo good, we will be having cobbler a lot, I just have to learn how to can peaches now.
Merry Kuchle says
Thank you for your amazing comment. It really brought a smile to my face…and made me crave peach cobbler!
Vickie says
Hi Merry…
I just signed on with you and this recipe is what I’ve just put in the oven. It looks soooooo yummy! I will get back to you a little later with my results. Wish I could make time fly when I want to!!
Roxana says
I never made a cobbler before, I’m from Bolivia, South America and we don’t have this kind of dessert. I have a question, for how long the peaches has to be boil?
Thank you
Merry Kuchle says
Roxana,
Just boil them for a few minutes until the sugar is completely turned into syrup.
Vickie says
Hi Merry! The recipe is made and gone. You weren’t kidding, it is the best evah! I can’t believe how easy it was to make! The best! I haven’t a desire to try any other receive now. This one is so good why bother!!
Merry Kuchle says
So glad you liked it!
Lindsay Slater says
I made this tonight for the first time. Will not be the last. Absolutely amazing.
Merry Kuchle says
Yay! I love hearing people who made it and enjoyed.
Amy says
My new go to dessert…it’s sooooo good! I do half peaches and half strawberries. Everyone goes on and on! New favorite comfort food!
Jami says
I’ve made this twice now from your recipe and OMG is all I can say…IT WAS A HIT!! Now my question is can I do this recipe for a blackberry cobbler using fresh blackberries?
B D says
Yes, any berries, or berry mixtures, are good in this recipe!
Di says
Can’t wait to try this – sounds so good. I just have a question – is it really 1 Tbsp of baking powder ? Sounds like a lot.
D says
Made this, it was VERY liquidy, put it in the oven anyway, it boiled over, made a HUGE mess in my oven and was not edible. Any ideas on what went wrong?
Merry Kuchle says
Hmm…what kind of peaches did you use? There aren’t that many liquid ingredients so it shouldn’t have been very liquidy unless you accidentally put a liquid ingredient in twice?
Patsy says
i made this cobbler and added sultanas. Absolutely a winner served it with vanilla custard.
Merry Kuchle says
Sounds delish! Thank you for letting me know how it went!
Ruthie says
I made this recipe this weekend. My husband and kids LOVED it…and so did I. It was amazingly simple. I doubled the recipe and thought it would last – but only lasted the weekend. This recipe will stay with me forever.
Kimberly says
1 tablespoon baking powder
Or
1 teaspoon?
Maria says
OMG this cobbler was off the chain!!!!
Great recipe, will definitely be making this again:)
Debbi says
If using frozen peaches, should they be thawed before cooking?
Merry Kuchle says
You don’t have to. They will thaw as you cook them with the sugar. 🙂
Brittany says
If you use canned peaches do you still use the lemon juice and sugar the same?
Shirlynn says
Loved this recipe. Been making it a lot and as I comment it’s in the oven. Thank you it’s so easy to make and really tasty. Xxx
AJ says
11×13 seems a tad big, can you use a 9×13 and if so will it change the cook time?
Merry Kuchle says
You can definitely use a 9 X 13. In fact, I think that is the size I make it in often. The time should be similar.
Leah says
Same question as Brittney back in Dec..I’m using canned peaches so do I still drain them and then add to sugar and lemon juice and then bring to a boil? Thanks so much!! Can’t wait to try it!!!
Merry Kuchle says
I would. To be honest, though, I’ve never used canned peaches so not 100% sure.
Mary says
My husband decided last night he wanted a cobbler… found this recipe while browsing pinterest and looks like I am going to give it a go! I usually make it with a cake mix and it is still very delicious, this isn’t very difficult and the best part is I have the ingredients on hand (unlike the cake mix.) Cant wait to try it out later.
Molly says
I only had 2 cups of frozen fresh peaches so I cut in half,hoping it turns out! Thanks for the recipe
Krista Ponder says
Peach cobbler and apple crisps (I think that is what they are called) are my Fav’s! But I have never made them myself. One question, they usually have some kind of oatmeal component though. Is there a way to add oatmeal? With or without oatmeal, I am making this for the Super Bowl! Thanks for the inspiration and a pretty easy recipe to follow!
Merry Kuchle says
Crisps contain oatmeal, cobblers don’t. 🙂
Rose L. says
This recipe is sooooooooooo good thanks for sharing!! Like the others though I did cut back on the sugar wayyyyy too sweet and instead of using regular milk I used carnation milk gives it a rich taste! Your the best
Merry Kuchle says
Carnation evaporated milk? That would make it sweeter too as it is sweater tasting than normal milk.
Rose L. says
Maybe that’s why haha but still came out great! An easy quick recipe. Thanks again. Going down as best mommy
Tking says
I think there might be some confusion here. Evaporated can milk only has 3 grams sugar which is less than 2% fat milk has. However, condensed canned milk has 22 grams. Evaporated milk is richer because half of the water has been removed.
Merry Kuchle says
It calls for milk. Plain ol milk.
Cathy says
Phenomenal recipe, thank you! Will be enjoying this for Easter dinner!
Sandi Solis says
Wanted to let you know that in the last few months this has become my “go to” peach cobbler recipe! I make this for a dear friend who LOVES peach cobbler but is really, really and seriously picky about cobblers. This has become her favorite and it’s so easy to whip one up for her when things get challenging in her world. Thanks so much for sharing this gem of a recipe!
Merry Kuchle says
Thank tou so much for letting me know!
Alana says
I’m making this dish as I’m writing this and my batter is real stiff so I added more milk..and it still wasn’t pourable…..I had to spoon it ..how was your batter because a cup didn’t seem like enough…I hope it turns out okay!
Merry Kuchle says
Weird. Are you sure you only used 1 cup flour? A one to one ratio should be liquidy.
Alana says
I did exactly what the recipe called for…….I’m not sure why that happened!!!!
Merry Kuchle says
So weird!
Christine says
Do you know of any substitute for the butter that would work effectively?
Merry Kuchle says
You could try margarine. Coconut oil may also work but I’ve never tried it.
Nada Yasin says
Tried this tonight and it was super yummy! Made a few changes however that worked great for me. Used brown sugar in the batter. Only 2 tablespoons of brown sugar in the peaches (our peaches are already quite sweet here). Used a little less butter. So in other words tried to make it lighter or “healthier”. It was superb. Thank you! Wondering if the same recipe would work well with other fruits? Have you tried any?
Merry Kuchle says
I’ve added cherries to the peaches before with great success (I also added some almond extract to the batter). I think you might need to add a bit of cornstarch to blueberries if you tried it with that because they get quite liquidy when cooked. For apples I think you would need to add liquid to the fruit.
Tiara says
Ok so I RARELY comment on recipes weather I like them or not but I thought I’d share a funny oops that should’ve destroyed my cobbler but didnt! Haha, I’m halfway through eating a bit with my daughter who is raving about how yummy it is while savoring every bite and thinking about how tasty it is with ice cream when suddenly it dawned on me…
I completely forgot to add the milk!!! Haha, I just kinda sprinkled the flour mixture into the butter and dumped the peach mixture in top!!! Lol
I have no idea what possessed me to do that!! It came out carmelized around the edges and really browned on top but it is so good!!!! Perfect amount of sweetness and pairs wonderfully with ice cream!!
Thought that was quite funny and I honestly can’t wait to try it the “right” way with milk added!! Haha 😉
Merry Kuchle says
That is awesome and TOTALLY something that would happen to me. If I get interrupted in the middle of something I always leave something out. LOL. I’m glad it turned out anyway!
Susan Carter says
Awesome recipe!! Thank you!
Cathy says
Phenomenal, everyone in my family loved it and it was gone in about 15 mins. THE BEST!!! Thank you thank you!
Merry Kuchle says
Yay!!!
Jason Hill says
Come on people, this is this womans recipe. Why comment on her recipe with your own changes you do to her recipe? This is pinterst, put your own recipe on here. Im from Alabama and this is how we make it here also, 2bcuos sugar and sll. Great recipe Merry
Merry Kuchle says
Thanks Jason!
Johnson says
I agree Jason!!!
You looked her recipe up to try it her way, why post on her blog what you changed.
I am from the south as well. I can’t wait to make this tonight for the 4th of July.
Merry Kuchle says
Enjoy!!!!
Rose A says
You mentioned adding cherries and blueberries, but would tossing in several sliced strawberries be OK?
Merry Kuchle says
For sure!
Tracy says
Hello all, this recipe is great but for all the people that think it is too sweet, try using 1 cup brown sugar and 1 cup white sugar because brown sugar is not as sweet as white sugar and I also used a few spoons of tapioca for thickener. Put it in with the peaches while you are cooking them in the sauce pan. Do it little by little till you get the consistency you are looking for.
Jennifer says
Do I need to peel the peaches?
Merry Kuchle says
I would.
Kristin says
The cobbler turned out wonderful! My only advise would be to use UNSALTED butter! My first bite was a bit of a salty shock! Its a little salty around the edges bc of the salted butter but besides that, yum!
Lisa Murchison says
I was given 15lbs of beautiful golden peaches today. I was extremely thankful but then got home and it hit me what in the world am I going to do with all of these peaches ??? Lol
After looking through what seemed like a million peach cobbler recipes I found this one and I can honestly say this will be the only recipe I use for any cobbler. Thank You Merry ?
Merry Kuchle says
Yay! And so jealous. I could go for some cobbler right now!
Archa Price says
After reading the comments on this recipe, I decided to make it with 1 1/2 cups of sugar instead of 2 cups. I halved it, 3/4 cup in the crust and 3/4 cup with the peaches. The cobbler was totally awesome! Such an easy recipe and the family was pleased. Thanks so much!
Amy says
Can you freeze cobblers and bake them later?
Merry Kuchle says
I have never tried it.
Emily moore says
Best cobbler I have ever tried! Thank you!!!
Merry Kuchle says
So happy to hear it!
Francine says
YOU ARE SO RIGHT!!!!! Best peach cobbler I’ve ever had. I made a double batch for the Labor day cookout (had close to 100 people) and it was delicious and got eaten completely. The compliments from my guest were amazing. I was lucky to get a teaspoon of my son’s bowl. Will definately be making it again real soon.
Star says
I was craving peach cobbler and ran across this recipe. I did make a couple changes though. I added some nutmeg because my grandmother always put some in hers and I added a little vanilla just because a sweet dessert just isn’t a dessert without it and let me tell you this cobbler was AMAZING. I definitely will be making this again. Thanks for the post.
Molly says
I’ve made this twice and sooooo good. I was going to try with Apples for thanksgiving- do you think it would turn out the same following same recipe?
Merry Kuchle says
I’m not sure. I think it would need more liquid.
Molly says
Btw- did a practice apple one before thanksgiving and it was amazing!!! I made it exactly the same as this- only change I would make is add more apples. So good!
Merry Kuchle says
Awesome! Thank you so much for letting us know. Now I have to try it!
Nichelle says
I never comment on blogs, which should tell you something…
This recipe is AH-MAZING.
I doubled it, used self-rising flour, left out the extra sugar, and used my Nana’s home canned peaches which I drained and boiled with a couple tablespoons of brown sugar because ‘Merica. 😉 Hehe
Nothing brings me home better than this. 🙂
Thank you.
Merry Kuchle says
Thanks for commenting! Glad you liked it!
Nancy Case says
Merry, I have made this cobbler twice. I am making it tonight with frozen blackberries. Great cobbler. I serve hot with vanilla ice cream. It’s a winner.
Merry Kuchle says
Glad to hear it!
Anne tayner says
This recipe is absolutely wonderful! Took to a Church pot lock & I had so many wonderful compliments! Thanks Merry for sharing your Sweet Recipe!! 🙂
Hope says
Tonight I made you amazing peach cobbler!!! I followed the instructions step by step and my family loved it. I used fresh frozen peaches. I made sure to taste the peaches before I added anything to them. I did this because I read a few reviews that said the cobbler was to sweet. The frozen peaches had no added sugar so they were bitter with just a hint of sweetness. So added 1 cup of suger made them turn out perfect. I think some people may be using peaches with sugar already added or maybe thinking you said add two cups of sugar to the peaches. Its only 1 cup of sugar to the peached and 1 cup of sugar to the flour mixture. I just wanted you to know we loved it just the way you made it!!! Thanks I will be passing this recipe along the grapevine.
Merry Kuchle says
Yay! I am so happy to hear!
Joselyn Mejia says
Excellent recipe. Thanks for sharing
Brandi Williams says
Just made this! It’s amazing. I used canned and drained them…it was a hit. Made one with regular flour and one gluten free!!
Merry Kuchle says
Yay!!
Janae Kern says
I’m so excited to make this, I’ve been looking for a yummy recipe, and tomorrow is Easter, I have canned peaches, but I think I’m going to go to the store and buy fresh peaches because that is what the recipe suggest. Thankyou for posting the recipe!! 🙂 happy Easter.
Merry Kuchle says
Enjoy! If they don’t have fresh, frozen work well too.
Janae Kern says
I’m so dumb, peaches aren’t in season right now haha all well canned will have to do for now 🙂 thanks agian!
Jim Young says
Best cobbler ever but I made a few changes. There are only two of us so I kinda halved it. Used a 9×9 baking dish, a full quart of our own canned peaches. I dumped the syrup off the peaches but did not drain them so there was some syrup left. Our peaches were canned in a medium syrup so we didn’t add any sugar to them. Only to the dough. Turned out great. Thanks so much for a great recipe.
Merry Kuchle says
So glad to hear it!
Judy Schreiber says
Could you use fresh cherries?
Merry Kuchle says
Hmmm. I don’t see why not but I haven’t tried it to tell you the exact sugar measurements. If you search my blog I have a peach and cherry cobbler that you should try!
Betty says
This looks really yummy, peaches are falling off the tree so this is a perfect start to useing them. I’m going to make it for my bible study group. Thank you!!
Maria says
I made this peach cobbler for our family Fathers Day dinner. It was delicious..,and all gone! I’ll be making it again soon.
Merry Kuchle says
So glad you enjoyed it!
Linda Mcintosh says
the best peach cobbler we ever had …thanks so much….we did not change a thing we did it like you said
Jamie says
I did it in a 9 by 13 pan and the top burnt in 10 minutes ?Smelled really good though.
Merry Kuchle says
So weird. As you can see, many have made it without issue. Maybe check your oven temp?
Sunshine Robinson says
Making this right now. Can’t wait to see how it turns out. Trying as the recipe suggests. Yeah!!!
ruby says
This was the best peach cobbler. The first one is gone and now I’m working on my second peach cobbler.
Merry Kuchle says
So glad you enjoyed it!
Phil says
How long to boil fresh peaches?
Merry Kuchle says
For a bit…maybe 3 minutes.
Kristal says
I am not a baker but I’m pretty ok at following directions. I came across your recipe and decided to try it because it’s different. I only had a 9×13 dish and almost 1 cup more peaches (thanks Dad and his peach tree). I put them all in anyway. I mixed a 1/4tsp of cinnamon and nutmeg into the batter because I’m such a rebel like that. I could the mix coming through peaches as soon as I started putting them in…..niifffty. I lput in the oven while I reduced the remaining peachylemonsugarjuice on the stove. Channeling my inner MasterChef,I took out the dish and drizzled this with a spoon over the bake. I’m making this for my in-law’s anniversary party. I never cook anything for parties. That’s my hubbie’s gig. Buuuut….. I think I just made gold! Well, peachy gold. It smells so good! How to keep it safe and untouched until the party is another challenge.
Thank you for this guilty peachy pleasure!
Veronica says
This is an awesome recipe to start with, but I feel like it’s a bit lacking in depth of flavor. I made it a second time but used less sugar in the peaches and added vanilla extract into the peaches along with a tsp of pure maple syrup. For the rest of the sugar I subbed half of it for brown sugar. I also used cinnamon in the batter and peaches and a dash of nutmeg. Phenomenal with those tweaks!!!
Shannon says
By the way I have made this recipe several times now and although I have used variations based on what I had on hand it has never disappointed. I make it vegan for my husbands church when they are on in a fasting time, and made it with blackberries and mixed berries instead of peaches, added lime zest to the batter…it doesn’t matter how I have changed it this comes out beautifully every time. Thank you again for sharing this recipe!!
Karen says
I have made this awesome recipe with a tweek here and there over the years from canned peaches, frozen peaches and fresh peaches. All incredible.
Maureen says
Was wondering if the peach cobbler could be made a day ahead and reheated. Thank you in advance.
Merry Kuchle says
It could but the crust might be a bit more mushy. It would still taste great tho.
Vicki says
Picked up some Georgia peaches along side the road today and then found your recipe! I made it exactly the way you said and it was delicious! So excited because I have never made a cobbler before! Thank you for this simple and delicious recipe!!
Merry Kuchle says
I am so glad to hear it! I’m jealous that you got Georgia peaches. I grew up eating them in Alabama but now I leave in Canada so I miss them.
Martha harris says
Enjoyed the recipe will use again
Linda lefeat says
Waiting to make this today but still don’t know if it’s 1 tlb. . Or 1 tea. Baking powder ? Would make a big difference. Please reply.. thank you.
Merry Kuchle says
Tablespoon!
Kelley Spencer says
Literally the best thing I’ve ever put in my mouth. I don’t even like peaches, but I liked this. My fiancé brought home a case of fresh peaches a few days ago from a farm that he toured. Not wanting them to go to waste, I frantically searched for a peach cobbler recipe and stumbled upon this one. Out. Of. This. World. My fiancé said it’s the best peach cobbler he’s ever had; even better than his grandma’s. The entire dish is empty and I’ll be making another one tomorrow. Thank you so much for sharing this:)
Merry Kuchle says
You made my day! I am so glad you enjoyed it!
Elaine says
I am a cobbler snob and always hesitant to try new ones, as I have been disappointed many times.
THIS recipe is delicious!!
I tweaked it only so slightly by reducing the sugar (just because I’m trying to eat less of it).
This recipe is a WINNER! 👏
Merry Kuchle says
I am so glad you enjoyed it!
Kristine says
Awesome and easy!
Merry Kuchle says

I made this last night with fresh peaches; followed the recipe exactly. OMG! It was so delicious and definitely a huge success. Thank you for sharing the recipe.

I live in Georgia where peach cobbler is a staple. I’ve never made cobbler before and served this last night at a party. Everyone was raving about it. I could not believe how easy it was. I know some people commented that it’s too sweet but it was not

I’m so glad to hear it was a hit!
Ron says
If I use blueberries or blackberries instead of peaches I’m assuming I would just add them and not boil them. Is that correct?
Merry Kuchle says
Hmmmm…. i’ve Never tried it with this recipe. I would assume you are right but I worry that it might make the different layers mix weirdly but I would give it a try.

I use one big can of peaches with heavy syrup
And only one of sugar!
I have to agree with everybody else, 2 cups of Sugar is way too much
That’s probably a misprint and add about a fourth a teaspoon of nutmeg to your cobblers And a little bit of sugar and cinnamon on top just a little sweet and a little bit crunchy….yummmm my grandma always did that !
She was an amazing Southern Cooke ❤️

It is not a misprint. My recipe calls for frozen NON SWEETENED peaches. You used them in heavy syrup. That is super sweet.
