Peach cobbler is a classic southern dessert but it can be made with just about any fruit at any time of year. This particular recipe is a great starting point or base that you can use to start experimenting with different flavors and types of fruit.
Why should you make this recipe:

- From start to finish, this can be on the table in under 30 minutes
- Use whatever fruit you have on hand; fresh, canned or whatever, it all works
- The 6 ingredients are probably already in your house
Ideas for customizing this recipe:
- Add some cinnamon or a little nutmeg for a more complex flavor profile; a teaspoon of cinnamon and a half teaspoon of nutmeg for this quantity cobbler should be a good place to start
- Try fruit combinations; blueberry and strawberry, peach and apple, blackberry strawberry, be creative with what’s in season
- Replace half of the flour with instant rolled oats for an even heartier dessert similar to a crisp or buckle
- Add in a half teaspoon of vanilla or your favorite flavor extract to the mix
Serving classic Peach Cobbler:
- This cobbler is great as it is, but when served hot with Vanilla Bean ice cream on top, it’s divine!
- Bake this in jumbo muffin tins for easy individual servings
- Let cool and refrigerate, so that you can bring this to a barbecue or gathering; it’s outstanding served cold
Tools needed to make this dessert:
- Nothing fancy or specialized is really needed for this recipe; out of habit I always cook it in my Great Grandmother’s cast iron Dutch Oven. This is completely optional, but you can melt the butter right in the iron and save on dishes
- A pie plate or even muffin tins will work for this but you will definitely have to adjust your baking time down a bit
- This is most traditionally made in a 10″ cast iron skillet (which doubles as a pizza pan😉), so if you have one use it!
How to make Last Minute Classic Peach Cobbler
- Preheat your oven to 350° or 325° if using convection
- In a cast iron skillet over medium heat, melt your stick o butter. Once the butter is melted turn off the stove but you can leave your skillet right on the stovetop. If you are using a pie plate, melt the butter in the pie plate in the oven, then continue with the recipe
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine your flour, sugar, milk, and baking powder (this recipe can be made with self-rising flour, just omit the baking powder!)
- Whisk or stir with a spoon just until smooth
- Pour mix directly into the center of the skillet with the butter
- Spoon your peaches or fruit all over the top of the batter making sure the fruit is evenly distributed
- Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 25 minutes or until bubbly and golden brown
- Serve and enjoy!!
