Q: Can I use fresh or frozen peaches instead of canned?

A: Yes, you can substitute fresh or frozen peaches, but you may need to adjust the sugar and bake time. Fresh peaches may need to be peeled and sliced, while frozen peaches should be thawed and drained before use.

Q: How do I prevent my cobbler from becoming soggy?

A: Make sure to drain and pat dry your canned peaches to avoid excess moisture. If using fresh or frozen peaches, remove as much liquid as possible before assembling your cobbler.

Q: What’s the ideal oven temperature for baking peach cobbler?

A: The best oven temperature is 375°F for a perfectly golden and crisp topping without overcooking the peaches.

Q: Can I freeze peach cobbler, and how do I reheat it?

A: Yes, peach cobbler can be frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat it in the oven at 350°F for 20-25 minutes or until warmed through and crispy on top.

Q: How do I make my peach cobbler topping extra crispy?

A: For a crispier topping, sprinkle a little granulated sugar on top of the cobbler before baking, and be sure to use cold butter in the topping mixture.

Peach Cobbler with Canned Peaches: Easy 5-Step Recipe Hack!

Ingredients

Scale

1 stick (8 tablespoons) salted butter
1 cup self-rising flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (29-ounce) can sliced peaches in heavy syrup

Optional: Cinnamon-sugar for sprinkling

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place the butter in a 9×13-inch baking dish and let it melt in the oven as it preheats.
Step 2: In a mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour, sugar, and cinnamon.
Step 3: Stir in the milk and vanilla extract until you get a thin, slightly lumpy batter.
Step 4: Once the butter is melted, remove the dish from the oven and pour the batter over the butter—do not stir.
Step 5: Pour the peaches and all their syrup evenly over the batter. Do not mix.
Step 6: Sprinkle a little cinnamon-sugar on top if desired.
Step 7: Bake for 50 minutes or until golden and bubbly. Let cool for 10–15 minutes before serving.

Notes

This cobbler is best served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
If using fresh peaches, add 1/2 cup sugar and a splash of water to simulate syrup.

For a crispier top, bake for an extra 5–10 minutes.
