Here’s a classic Old-Time Oven Peach Cobbler recipe — warm, fruity, and perfect with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
🍑 Old-Time Oven Peach Cobbler
Ingredients (8 servings)
Fruit filling
- 6–8 fresh peaches (or ~4 cups canned sliced peaches, drained)
- ½–¾ cup granulated sugar (adjust to sweetness of peaches)
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- ½ tsp cinnamon (optional)
- 1 tsp cornstarch (for thickening, optional if peaches are very juicy)
Biscuit topping
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar (or ½ sugar + ½ brown sugar for richer flavor)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup milk
- ¼ cup butter, melted
- Optional: ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Preheat oven
- 375°F (190°C)
- Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Prepare the peach filling
- Peel (if desired) and slice peaches.
- Toss with sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and cornstarch.
- Pour into the prepared baking dish.
3. Make the biscuit topping
- In a bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Stir in milk, melted butter, and vanilla until combined — slightly thick batter.
4. Assemble
- Spoon the batter evenly over the peaches. It doesn’t need to completely cover — it will spread as it bakes.
5. Bake
- 35–45 minutes, until topping is golden brown and fruit is bubbling.
6. Serve
- Let cool 10–15 minutes. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
⭐ Tips for the Best Old-Time Peach Cobbler
- Juicy peaches: If using canned, drain but save a little syrup to mix with batter for extra flavor.
- Texture: For a crispier top, sprinkle a little coarse sugar over the batter before baking.
- Spice variations: Add nutmeg or allspice for extra warmth.
- Make-ahead: You can assemble and refrigerate for a few hours before baking; add a few extra minutes to bake time if chilled.
I can also give you a small-batch single-serving version, a gluten-free version, or a rustic deep-dish version if you want.
