Don’t worry, the chocolate is on the way. I thought to fill you up on all the “yellow” creamy desserts first and give you the chocolate dessert for dessert on Friday, so hang in there. This is my go-to Peach Cobbler recipe. It has never let me down. This dish is very moist, super fast to make, and wonderful served warm with vanilla ice cream, perfect for summer cook-outs. Come to think of it, Butter-Pecan Ice Cream is even better with this cobbler, but I’ll let you be the judge of that.

Cannot wait to try this!
So glad you have a ‘print recipe’ icon as well so I do not have to print all the blogs!
My mom taught me this recipe waaay back in the ’70s. We use dewberries (small wild blackberries), peaches, or whatever fruit you have on hand. Great recipe. Try adding a little cinnamon to the peaches and 1 tsp to the batter. I just melt the butter in the pan while the oven is preheating, and that way I don’t dirty another dish.
Miss Jean…………is there anyway we can make this recipe diabetic friendly?????
Hi Anna, my guess would be to try the recipe with splenda and fresh fruit or fruit in its own juices.
Enjoy!
2 notes… DO NOT STIR the peaches and juice into the batter and sprinkle with nutmeg before baking! PERFECTION!!!!
What did I do wrong? I kept it in for 45 minutes.. it is very soggy-like. tastes.. milky.. won’t bring it to the father’s day lunch afterall I am afraid. Maybe I will raise the heat to 375. It’s a pale color. hmm..
I don’t know? Did you add too much milk?
Peach Cobbler
Have looked for this recipe for years! We used a large cast iron skillet. Thanks for posting!
Just made this and the family loved it, needless to say they licked the bowl clean. 2 thumbs up!
Thank you Becky! Licking bowls is good for us!!
You might want to try draining some of the juice out of the can of the peaches. I’ve been making this for years and I only keep about 1/4 cup of the juice with the fruit. And yes, don’t stir the fruit into the batter. I add cinnamon to the batter and then I make cinnamon sugar mixture using about 1/2 cup sugar and sprinkle it on the top before I bake it. It makes a little bit of a crust on top when it bakes up. So good and so easy!!
How much cinnamon do u put in for the cinnamon sugar crust?
I have neve made it with the cinnamon sugar crust. I wonder if some else here knows
I was just wondering where Miss Jean is from? I grew up with a very special lady also known as Miss Jean in Texas and have this exact recipe from her.
The Miss Jean we know comes from Maryland. I am sure there are so many nice Miss Jeans out there!
Mine was a soggy, gooey, flavorless mess!! Ruined all of those yummy sweet fresh peaches. Deleting this recipe!!
Then you did something wrong. My mother who has rolled and layered her dough for years has retired her old family recipe and moved on to this fail proof abbreviation. Try it again. Sounds like you didn’t cook it long enough.
For a richer tastier dough, I used buttermilk. Outstanding!
This is almost the exact recipe that my grandmother passed to my mother and my mother passed to me. We always make it with 1 of everything though. 1 Stick of butter, 1 cup of Sugar, 1 cup of Milk, 1 cup of Flour and 1 can of peaches. I guess it was always just easier to remember it that way.
I like your “one” recipe. Good idea!
I did this yesterday and added cinnamon to the batter and on top… oh my was it yummy… Thank you…
I live in high altitude Colorado, do I need to add extra baking powder to the Self Rising Flour?
You may need a bit more, I am not too sure about cooking at high alt though.
this recipe turned out SO GOOD! definitely agree about adding cinnamon–makes it even more yummy
definitely will be making this again!
A-m-a-z-I-n-g!!!!! Also made one with strawberry pie filling! It looked gross but tasted just as amazing as the peach cobbler!
I have mine in the oven right now! I’ve read all the comments and am hoping to have as good of an experience as everyone else has. I’m still a little nervous because my mom is southern and have done it the old fashion way all her life. This would be the first time I’ve had it any other kind of way……..I will post an update later!
Ok, it’s amazing!!!! I added the vanilla, brown super and cinnamon…love it!
Great so happy you all liked it! Thanks for letting me know!!
I doubled this recipe but dont do it. It was doughy and I ended up throwing it out! But I am planning on making it again the right way
This is my grandmother’s recipe too! We have been making this for years and it is so easy to make an sooo yummy! Another tip is to find Del Monte Raspberry flavored canned peaches and use them. The extra flavor soaks into to crust and adds a little something extra to the recipe!
My grandma always made this. We also made it at Bodacious BBQ when my daughter and I worked there. You can melt the butter in the pan, in the oven, while it is preheating! Cuts down on dishes! 8)
Mines came out a little watery after baking. Is this how its supposed to be??
No not watery, it will set up a bit while cooking. You may have to cook it a little bit longer as all our ovens are different.
My cobbler didn’t turn out. I did everything right! I screwed up the easiest recipe ever!! Im a little sad
I used a can of peaches for my concoction. It was waaaaaaaay too liquidy. Any suggestions for next time?
Do we leave the syrup in with the peaches??
Yes!
Easy and yummy!
I used frozen peaches and did not thaw them just added them at the end and sprinkled the extra sugar over them and it came out delish!
