how to make Easy Canned Peach Cobbler
Ingredients
- 2 cans (15 oz each) sliced peaches in syrup
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar, divided
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick), melted
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Optional: ground cinnamon or nutmeg for sprinkling
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures the cobbler bakes evenly and comes out perfectly golden and bubbly.

- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Pour in the milk and stir until the batter is smooth with no lumps.
- Pour the melted butter into a 9×13-inch baking dish. Then pour the batter over the melted butter without stirring.
- Spoon the drained peaches evenly over the batter.
- Take the reserved syrup, mix it with the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar, and drizzle it over the top of the peaches.
- If desired, sprinkle a bit of ground cinnamon or nutmeg on top.
- Place the cobbler in your preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.
- Allow the cobbler to cool for a few minutes before serving, ideally with vanilla ice cream.
