🍑 The Ultimate Easy Peach Cobbler With Cinnamon

Ingredients

For the Peach Filling

  • 6–7 fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
    About 6 cups sliced peaches
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour or cornstarch
  • Pinch of salt

For the Cobbler Topping

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

Optional Cinnamon Sugar Topping

  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon

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 cooking spray.

2. Prepare the peaches

Wash, peel, and slice the peaches.

If your peaches are very ripe, you can leave the skins on, but peeling them gives the cobbler a softer, more traditional texture.

Place the sliced peaches in a large bowl.

3. Make the peach filling

Add to the peaches:

  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons flour or cornstarch
  • A small pinch of salt

Gently toss everything together until the peaches are evenly coated.

Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes. The peaches will release some juice and create a delicious syrup.

4. Transfer the peaches to the baking dish

Pour the peach mixture into your prepared baking dish.

Spread the peaches evenly so the filling covers the entire bottom of the dish.

5. Prepare the cobbler topping

In a separate large bowl, combine:

  • 1½ cups flour
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Whisk the dry ingredients together.

6. Add the wet ingredients

Pour in:

  • ½ cup melted butter
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Stir gently until everything is combined.

The batter should be thick and soft, similar to a thick pancake batter. Don’t overmix it—just mix until there are no large pockets of dry flour.

7. Add the topping

Spoon the cobbler batter over the peaches.

Don’t worry if the peaches aren’t completely covered. Leave a few small spaces between the spoonfuls because the topping will spread and rise while baking.

8. Add extra cinnamon sugar

Mix:

  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon

Sprinkle it evenly over the top of the cobbler.

This creates a beautiful, slightly crisp and caramelized cinnamon crust.

9. Bake

Place the dish in the preheated oven.

Bake for approximately 45–55 minutes, or until:

  • The top is golden brown.
  • The cobbler topping is cooked through.
  • The peach filling is bubbling around the edges.
  • Your kitchen smells wonderfully like cinnamon and peaches.

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

10. Let it rest

Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool for 15–20 minutes.

This is important because the peach juices will thicken as the cobbler rests.

🍨 How to Serve It

For the ultimate dessert, serve the peach cobbler warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

The combination of:

warm peaches + cinnamon + buttery topping + cold vanilla ice cream

is absolutely delicious.

You can also add a little whipped cream or drizzle of caramel sauce.

⭐ Tips for the Best Peach Cobbler

  • Use ripe peaches: They provide the sweetest flavor and juiciest filling.
  • Don’t skip the lemon juice: It balances the sweetness and makes the peach flavor brighter.
  • Don’t overmix the topping: Overmixing can make it dense instead of tender.
  • Let it rest: Giving the cobbler 15–20 minutes after baking helps the filling set.
  • Add cinnamon generously: A little extra cinnamon on top gives the cobbler that classic warm flavor.
  • Frozen peaches work too: Thaw and drain them first so the cobbler doesn’t become excessively watery.
