Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Canned Peaches: The star of this dessert! I recommend using peaches in light syrup if you want a less sweet cobbler. If you don’t have canned peaches, you could use frozen ones—just thaw them first.
All-Purpose Flour: This is the base for the batter. If you’re looking for a gluten-free version, try a gluten-free flour blend. I’ve had great success using almond flour as well.
Granulated Sugar: This gives sweetness to the dish. You can substitute half the sugar with brown sugar for a richer flavor. If you’re cutting back on sugar, you could use a sugar alternative like stevia.
Butter: Unsalted butter is my go-to, but you can use coconut oil for a dairy-free option. Olive oil works too and adds a unique flavor!
How Do You Make Sure Your Cobbler Comes Out Perfectly?
The key to a great cobbler is in layering the batter and peaches properly. Always remember not to mix them together! Here’s why:
- When you pour the batter over the butter, it creates a barrier that helps the batter rise.
- By adding the peaches on top, it allows the syrup to soak down, creating a deliciously crispy top.
- Also, keep an eye on baking time; ovens can vary, so start checking around 35 minutes. You want a golden brown top!
Letting the cobbler cool a bit before serving ensures you don’t burn your mouth, and it helps with serving too. Enjoy with ice cream or whipped cream for a delightful finish!

Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 1 can (29 oz) sliced peaches in syrup, undrained
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup milk

How Much Time Will You Need?
This Easy Canned Peach Cobbler takes about 10 minutes to prepare and 40-45 minutes of baking time. So, in about an hour, you can have a warm, delicious dessert ready to serve!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure your cobbler bakes evenly and comes out perfectly fluffy.
2. Prepare the Baking Dish:
Pour the melted butter into a 9×13-inch baking dish. This rich butter will give the cobbler a wonderful flavor and help it crisp up.
3. Make the Batter:
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and optional cinnamon. Stir everything with a whisk or a spoon until well combined. Then, add the milk and stir until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
4. Combine the Layers:
Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not stir it! You want the batter to sit on top of the butter. Next, use a spoon to carefully add the canned peaches and syrup evenly over the batter without mixing it together.
5. Bake the Cobbler:
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when the top is golden brown and a toothpick stuck in the batter comes out clean. Keep an eye on it, and start checking around the 35-minute mark!
6. Cool and Serve:
Once baked, take the cobbler out of the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. This helps the layers set up a bit.
7. Enjoy!
Serve your delicious peach cobbler warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream if desired. Enjoy your sweet creation!
FAQ for Easy Canned Peach Cobbler
Can I Use Fresh Peaches Instead of Canned?
Yes, you can! If you have fresh peaches, peel and slice about 4-5 medium peaches. Toss them with a little sugar and let them sit for about 10 minutes to release some juice, then proceed with the recipe as instructed.
What Can I Substitute for the Milk in This Recipe?
If you’re out of milk or prefer a dairy-free option, you can use almond milk, soy milk, or even water in a pinch. The flavor will be slightly different, but it’ll still turn out delicious!
How Do I Store Leftover Cobbler?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can reheat individual servings in the microwave or in the oven until warmed through.
Can I Add Other Fruits to This Cobbler?
Absolutely! Feel free to mix in other fruity flavors like blueberries, raspberries, or sliced strawberries along with the peaches. Just keep the total fruit volume similar to the canned peaches to maintain the texture and moisture. Enjoy experimenting!
