Full ingredient list with measurements is provided in the printable recipe card below.
How to Make the Recipe
Let’s dive into the step-by-step process. Don’t worry, it’s as simple as can be!
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). While the oven is heating up, place the 9×13-inch baking dish with the butter inside to melt. Once melted, remove it from the oven but keep it warm.
- Prepare the batter. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the milk and vanilla extract (if using) until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—it should still be a bit lumpy.
- Layer the batter and peaches. Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not stir! Next, spoon the peaches and some of the reserved syrup or juice evenly over the batter. Again, no stirring needed.
- Add a touch of spice. If you’re feeling extra fancy, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon and nutmeg on top for that extra oomph of flavor.
- Bake to perfection. Pop the dish into the oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the crust comes out clean.
- Let it cool. Once done, let it cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Trust me, it’s worth the wait!
Pro Tips for Making the Recipe
Here are some tips to ensure your Easy Peach Cobbler with Canned Peaches turns out absolutely divine:
- Don’t overmix the batter. A lumpy batter is your friend here—it ensures the cobbler stays tender and light.
- Use high-quality canned peaches. While any canned peaches will work, using a brand with minimal added sugar and fresh flavor will elevate your cobbler game.
- Let the butter do its magic. That melted butter is crucial for creating the golden, crispy crust. Don’t skip it!
- Experiment with spices. Cinnamon and nutmeg are classic choices, but feel free to add a pinch of cardamom or ginger for a unique twist.
How to Serve
Serving your Easy Peach Cobbler with Canned Peaches is all about embracing comfort and indulgence. Here are my favorite ways to enjoy it:
- Warm and à la mode. There’s nothing quite like a scoop of vanilla ice cream melting over the warm cobbler. It’s pure bliss!
- Whipped cream wonder. If ice cream isn’t your thing, a dollop of whipped cream adds a light and airy contrast to the rich cobbler.
- Breakfast, anyone?. Why not? Serve it with a side of coffee or tea for a cozy morning treat.
Make Ahead and Storage
One of the best things about this cobbler is its versatility when it comes to making ahead and storing:
- Make ahead. You can prepare the batter and store it in the fridge for up to a day before baking. Just let it come to room temperature before popping it into the oven.
- Refrigerate. Once baked, the cobbler can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat it in the oven or microwave before serving.
- Freeze. If you want to enjoy your cobbler later, bake and cool it completely, then freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat as needed.
And there you have it, my friends! A simple, satisfying, and scrumptious Easy Peach Cobbler with Canned Peaches that’s sure to become a staple in your kitchen. Whether you’re whipping it up for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion, this cobbler is guaranteed to bring smiles all around. So go ahead, grab a slice (or two), and savor that warm, fuzzy feeling only a homemade dessert can bring. Happy baking!
