A Bit of History
The peach cobbler originated in the American South during the 1800s, when English settlers adapted their traditional suet puddings using locally available fruits and baking techniques. Cobbler got its name from the biscuit-style topping that resembles a cobbled road. Over time, it evolved into variations like this one—where the batter rises up through the fruit, creating a soft, cakey base and caramelized top.

Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup milk
- 1 (15 oz) can sliced peaches with juice
- ½ cup (1 stick) butter, melted (optional but recommended)
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Additional sugar and cinnamon for sprinkling mid-bake (optional)
Method
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). - Melt the Butter (if using)
Pour the melted butter into a 9×9-inch or similar-sized baking dish. - Make the Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and milk. Whisk until smooth. - Assemble the Cobbler
Pour the batter directly into the buttered dish (don’t stir). Spoon peaches with their juice over the top of the batter. The batter will rise around the fruit as it bakes. - Add Spice
Sprinkle with cinnamon (and a bit of sugar if you like it sweet and spiced). - Bake
Bake at 300°F for 35–45 minutes or until golden brown and set in the center. - Optional Mid-Bake Tip
About halfway through baking, sprinkle extra cinnamon sugar over the top for added crunch and sweetness. - Cool Slightly & Serve
Let cool for 5–10 minutes. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Serving Suggestions
- With a scoop of vanilla ice cream
