This fruity peach cobbler is the easiest dessert to make. Use any fruit you have and enjoy all year round!
Oh hey there dessert lovers! It's been way too long between delicious desserts around here so I'm back with one that is going to knock your socks off!
I've been making this peach cobbler for a couple of years and I'm so so so sorry that it's taken me so long to share it (kids) but I just know that all will be forgiven the second you take a bite of this juicy, sweet, crispy, jammy, probably my all time favourite dessert ever.
If you are unfamiliar with cobbler, let me tell you what you're missing out on. It's similar to a crumble in that you have a layer of fresh fruit on the bottom and a topping. But where a crumble has an oaty, crumbly (duh) topping, cobbler is more like a cookie/biscuit topping. But JUST as easy as a crumble, if not more so.
Step 1: Place sliced peaches in a greased baking dish and sprinkle with sugar. Give it a quick mix together in the dish.
Step 2: Mix up the cobbler topping (one bowl!) and use your fingers to crumble over top of the peaches
Step 3: Bake for about 25 minutes until golden brown, remove from the oven and sprinkle with raw sugar before putting back in for another 5-10 minutes.
Step 4: Remove from the oven and allow to sit for 15 minutes to give it time to get all syrupy and delicious before serving with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Can I use frozen or canned peaches?
Yes! If you are using frozen peaches just allow them to thaw slightly before tossing with sugar. If using canned peaches, drain the liquid from the can and skip adding the sugar to toss them in.
Can I use other fruit?
Absolutely! Use berries, apples, rhubarb - anything you have! Or even try a combination - yum!
Peach Cobbler
Ingredients
- 6 fresh peaches, sliced (see notes for how to make with frozen or canned peaches)
- 2-3 Tablespoons white sugar
Cobbler topping
- 100 grams butter (melted)
- ½ cup white sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup plain flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch salt
- 2 Tablespoons raw sugar (for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 180°C/350°F
- Place peaches and sugar in a greased baking dish or pie dish and toss together (I used a 25cm round pie dish)
- In a small bowl mix together the melted butter, sugar, vanilla, flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt until it forms a dough and use your fingers to crumble it over the peaches.
- Bake for 25 minutes, remove from the oven and sprinkle with raw sugar and bake for a further 5-10 minutes or until the topping is golden brown. Allow to cool for 15 minutes before serving with vanilla ice cream or cream.
Notes
- To make this recipe using frozen peaches just allow them to thaw slightly before tossing with sugar.
- To make this recipe using canned peaches, drain the liquid from the can and skip adding the first measure of sugar to toss them in.
- You can also use berries, apples, rhubarb - anything you have, or even try a combination

Can I use gluten free flour instead?
Laura says
Yes, that should be absolutely fine!
Anna Nathan says
Really delicious and easy using our surplus of peaches
Karen Murray says
Thank you so much for this recipe. Tried it with canned peaches and it turned out lovely.
Frances Henley says
Easy and yummy
Ashley says
I have lots of rhubarb in my garden so was thinking of trying this with some rhubarb. Just wondering how much rhubarb to use instead of 6 peaches.
Laura says
I would use about 6 large stalks of rhubarb - just roughly the same quantity of chopped up fruit. You will need to cook it for longer though as rhubarb will take longer to soften
