Homemade Peach Cobbler is a delicious dessert filled with yummy peaches with a touch of cinnamon and a sweet biscuit topping. This cobbler can be made using fresh or frozen peaches which means we can enjoy this peach dessert all year long!
You just can't go wrong with peach cobbler. This homemade dessert is great for a casual family dinner or served at a summer barbecue dinner. I have made this twice in the past two weeks and it has been a huge hit in my house. I think I could make this every day and my kids would be happy!
What is a cobbler?
A cobbler is a fruit dessert that is topped with a biscuit topping. My cobbler has a rustic biscuit topping. When a cobbler bakes all the fruit juices bubble up around the biscuits making a delicious treat.
How is a cobbler different than a crisp?
It's all in the topping. A cobbler and a crisp can both start with the same fruit filling. The difference is what you add on the top. A crisp is usually made with an oatmeal crumble and a cobbler has a biscuit type topping.
Do I use fresh or frozen peaches?
You can use either. I've used frozen peaches because peaches aren't quite in season here yet. If you are using fresh peaches, peel and slice peaches.
When using frozen peaches, allow the peaches to sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes prior to using. They don't have to fully thaw, but this recipe works best if they are partially softened. Break peach slices apart if they are frozen together.
How do I peel a fresh peach?
- Place whole peaches in a pot of boiling water for 10-20 seconds
- Remove and place in an ice bath
- Use a paring knife and remove skin
How many peaches do I need?
This recipe calls for 2 pounds of sliced peaches or about 6 cups. If you are using fresh peaches plan on 6-8 peaches, depending on the size of your peaches. .
How do I make the biscuit topping?
- Place flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a food processor. Pulse until combined
- Add butter. Pulse until mixture has coarse crumbs
- Add milk and pulse until a dough forms
- Drop spoonfuls of dough on top of filling
Hot or cold?
The choice is yours. I prefer mine warm, but I also think it's delicious served at room temperature.
Can I reheat peach cobbler?
Yes, you can reheat peach cobbler. To reheat a whole cobbler, place baking dish in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 20 minutes until warmed through. For just reheating a single portion, place cobbler on a microwave safe dish. Microwave for 1 minute until heated through.
I like to have my peach cobble with a scoop of ice cream. My usual choice is vanilla or peach ice cream. My mom often likes to eat her cobbler with just a touch of cream just poured over the top. Of course, you can always eat it plain!
Can I substitute other fruit for the peaches?
You bet! Nectarines or apricots would work well in this recipe. You can check out these recipes if you'd like a cherry cobbler or an apple cobbler.
Other delicious recipes I make using peaches are these Peach Crumb Bars, and Peach Muffins.

This totally takes me back to summer's at my grandparent's house. We had more peaches than we knew what to do with, and there was always a cobbler or two around. I've found some delicious peaches in the store lately, and I'm thinking I'll have to pick up an extra couple pounds to make this cobbler. It looks delicious!

I could only dream about having more peaches than I knew what to do with! Love, love, love peach season!
