This cobbler is:

🛒 Ingredients

  • stick butter (½ cup)
  • 1 cup PET milk (or evaporated milk)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • Dash of salt
  • 1 quart sweetened peaches (canned or fresh with syrup)

⏱️ Total Time: 10 minutes prep + 60 minutes baking
🍽️ Yield: 8 servings


🔁 Substitutions & Tips

  • No PET milk? Use evaporated milk or whole milk in a pinch.
  • Want a crispier top? Sprinkle coarse sugar or cinnamon sugar over the batter before baking.
  • Add a dash of vanilla or almond extract to the batter for a flavor twist.
  • Use fresh peaches by simmering them with sugar to create a syrup.

👩‍🍳 Instructions

STEP 1: Preheat & Melt Butter

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place 1 stick of butter in a 9×13-inch baking dish and place in the oven to melt while it preheats.

STEP 2: Mix the Batter

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together:

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • Dash of salt

Gradually stir in:

  • 1 cup PET milk

Mix until a smooth batter forms.

STEP 3: Assemble the Cobbler

Remove baking pan from oven once butter is melted.
Carefully pour the batter over the melted butter.
👉 Do not stir.

Spoon the sweetened peaches evenly over the batter.
👉 Again, do not stir. The batter will rise around the fruit while baking.

STEP 4: Bake

Place the cobbler in the oven and bake for 1 hour, or until:

  • The top is golden brown
  • The fruit is bubbling around the edges

Let cool for 10–15 minutes before serving.


🍽️ Serving Suggestions

Serve warm with:

  • A scoop of vanilla ice cream
  • A dollop of whipped cream
  • A drizzle of caramel sauce

Pair with:


🧊 Storage & Reheating

  • Store covered in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat in the microwave or a 350°F oven until warmed through.
