🍑 Easy Peach Cobbler With Cinnamon

This peach cobbler is warm, buttery, juicy, and packed with sweet peach flavor. The peaches become tender and syrupy as they bake, while the cinnamon adds a cozy, lightly spiced flavor. The topping turns golden brown with slightly crisp edges while staying soft and tender underneath.

It’s especially delicious served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients

For the peach filling:

  • 6–7 fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
    or about 4 cups canned/frozen peaches
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Pinch of salt

For the cobbler topping:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional topping:

  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • A little extra cinnamon
  • Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Step-by-step instructions

1. Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick cooking spray.

2. Prepare the peaches

If you’re using fresh peaches, peel them and remove the pits. Slice the peaches into medium-thick slices.

Place them in a large bowl.

Add the sugar, flour, cinnamon, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and salt. Gently toss everything together until the peaches are evenly coated.

Let the mixture sit for about 5–10 minutes. The peaches will begin releasing some of their natural juices, creating a delicious syrup.

3. Make the cobbler batter

In a separate bowl, whisk together:

  • Flour
  • Sugar
  • Baking powder
  • Salt
  • Cinnamon

In another bowl, combine the melted butter, milk, and vanilla.

Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until everything is combined.

Don’t overmix—the batter should be smooth but slightly thick.

4. Assemble the cobbler

Pour the prepared peach mixture evenly into the greased baking dish.

Then carefully spoon the cobbler batter over the peaches. Try to distribute it fairly evenly, but don’t worry if some peaches remain visible.

As the cobbler bakes, the batter will rise around the peaches.

5. Add extra cinnamon

For an even warmer cinnamon flavor, sprinkle a little cinnamon and brown sugar over the top.

This creates a beautiful golden, slightly caramelized crust.

6. Bake

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven.

Bake for approximately 40–50 minutes, or until:

  • The top is golden brown.
  • The cobbler topping looks fully cooked.
  • The peach filling is bubbling around the edges.
  • A toothpick inserted into the topping comes out mostly clean.

If the top begins browning too quickly, loosely cover the dish with aluminum foil for the remaining baking time.

7. Let it rest

Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool for about 10–15 minutes.

This is important because the peach filling will be extremely hot and runny immediately after baking. As it rests, the juices thicken into a delicious syrup.

8. Serve warm

Scoop the warm peach cobbler into bowls and serve it with vanilla ice cream.

The combination of hot cinnamon-spiced peaches, buttery crust, and cold melting ice cream is what makes this dessert seriously addictive. 🍑🍨

Tips for the best peach cobbler

  • Use ripe peaches for the best flavor.
  • If your peaches are very sweet, you can slightly reduce the sugar.
  • Don’t overmix the batter, or the topping can become dense.
  • Let the cobbler rest before serving so the peach filling can thicken.
  • A sprinkle of brown sugar and cinnamon on top gives it an especially delicious crust.
  • For an extra indulgent version, add a small handful of chopped pecans or walnuts to the topping.

Storage: Cover leftovers and refrigerate for up to 3–4 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave or warm the entire cobbler in the oven.
