Directions:

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
Melt the butter in a casserole dish while the oven heats up.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, one cup of sugar, and baking powder with a whisk.
Slowly mix in the milk to create a smooth batter.

In a medium saucepan, place the peeled and sliced peaches.

Cook the peach mixture over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.

How to Serve Peach Cobbler

Peach cobbler is best served warm. You can enjoy it by itself or add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top for extra creaminess. It also pairs well with whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an indulgent treat.

How to Store Peach Cobbler

To store leftover peach cobbler, let it cool completely, then cover it with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. You can keep it in the refrigerator for up to three days. If you want to store it for longer, you can freeze it for up to three months. Just make sure to wrap it tightly to prevent freezer burn.

Tips to Make Peach Cobbler

Use fresh peaches if available for the best flavor, but canned peaches work too if fresh ones are not in season.
Adjust the sugar to taste depending on how sweet your peaches are.
Don’t stir the batter and peaches together. This creates a great texture for the cobbler.
Feel free to add cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm spice flavor.

Variation

You can easily switch things up by adding other fruits to the cobbler, like blueberries or blackberries, to mix with the peaches. You can also try using different types of flour, like whole wheat or gluten-free flour, for a healthier option.
