Here’s a classic Grandma’s Peach Cobbler recipe—sweet, juicy peaches topped with a tender, buttery crust. Perfect warm with ice cream or whipped cream.
Ingredients (Serves 6–8)
For the filling:
- 6–8 fresh peaches (or 2 cans of sliced peaches, drained)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch (optional, for thicker filling)
For the topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- Optional: 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Oven
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish.
- Prepare the Filling
- Peel and slice fresh peaches if using fresh.
- In a bowl, combine peaches, sugar, lemon juice, vanilla, cinnamon, and cornstarch. Mix well.
- Pour peach mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Prepare the Topping
- In a separate bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Stir in milk and melted butter (and vanilla if desired) until a smooth batter forms.
- Assemble
- Pour the batter over the peaches. It’s okay if some peaches peek through—the batter will rise as it bakes.
- Bake
- Bake 35–45 minutes, or until topping is golden and set.
- Check with a toothpick—inserted in the topping, it should come out clean.
- Serve
- Let cool slightly before serving.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Tips for Grandma-Style Peach Cobbler
- Extra juicy: Add a little extra sugar if peaches are tart.
- Texture twist: Sprinkle a little sugar on top before baking for a slight caramelized crust.
- Shortcut: Canned peaches work year-round and make the recipe faster.
💡 Quick Hack: For even softer topping, dot melted butter on top of batter before baking—it creates a rich, golden crust reminiscent of classic homemade cobbler.
I can also make a “low-sugar or keto version” of Grandma’s Peach Cobbler if you want a lighter dessert option. Do you want me to do that?
