This easy peach cobbler recipe features juicy peaches and a buttery cake-style topping. Baked until golden and served warm with ice cream, it’s a timeless dessert that’s always a hit.
Preheat your oven to 375°F and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or cast iron skillet.
In a large bowl, toss together peaches, sugars, lemon juice, vanilla, cinnamon, and cornstarch if using. Pour into the prepared baking dish.
Melt the butter and pour it over the peaches without stirring.
In a separate bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and milk to form a smooth batter. Pour the batter in a thin layer over the fruit and butter. Do not stir.
Bake for 30-35 minutes until the top is golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
Let cool for 10 minutes before serving. Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
Chef Jenn’s Tips
If fresh peaches aren’t in season, you can use thawed frozen peaches
Do not stir the layers once you’ve poured them. The batter rises to the top on its own.
For a spiced twist, add a pinch of nutmeg or ground ginger to the filling.
