30 Minutes Best Peach Cobbler Recipe
Introduction
This peach cobbler is a delightful dessert perfect for showcasing fresh, juicy peaches. With a golden, buttery topping and warm spices, it comes together quickly and satisfies any sweet craving.

Ingredients
- 8 fresh peaches (about 2 pounds), peeled, cored, and sliced
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Pinch of salt
- ½ cup butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish with butter and set aside.
- Step 2: Arrange the peach slices evenly in the baking dish. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of sugar. If peaches are very soft and juicy, toss them with a tablespoon of cornstarch to thicken the filling. Set aside.
- Step 3: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, ¾ cup sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
- Step 4: Melt the butter and whisk in the vanilla extract. Pour the butter mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until the batter is moist and resembles cookie dough.
- Step 5: Using your hands, sprinkle the batter evenly over the peaches in the baking dish.
- Step 6: Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbly.
- Step 7: Remove from the oven and let the cobbler rest at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving.
- Step 8: Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of ice cream for a classic treat.
Tips & Variations
- For thicker filling, especially with very ripe peaches, toss the sliced peaches with a tablespoon of cornstarch before baking.
- Try adding a handful of fresh berries to the peaches for a mixed fruit twist.
- Use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar in the topping for a richer flavor.
Storage
Store leftover peach cobbler in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave for about 30 seconds or warm in the oven at 350˚F until heated through. The topping may lose some crispness but will still taste delicious.

FAQs
Can I use frozen peaches instead of fresh?
Yes, frozen peaches can be used. Thaw and drain them well to prevent excess moisture, and consider adding a bit more cornstarch to thicken the filling.
How do I make this recipe gluten-free?
Substitute the all-purpose flour with a 1-to-1 gluten-free baking flour blend. This should work well without altering the texture too much.

Ingredients
Peaches and Filling
- 8 fresh peaches (about 2 pounds), peeled, cored, and sliced
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Batter Topping
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- pinch of salt
- ½ cup butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350˚F and lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish with butter to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Prepare Peaches: Arrange the peeled, cored, and sliced peach pieces evenly at the bottom of the baking dish. Sprinkle them with 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar to enhance sweetness. (Tip: If peaches are very soft and juicy, toss with a tablespoon of cornstarch to thicken the filling.)
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, ¾ cup sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined to create the base for the batter topping.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: Melt the butter and then whisk in the vanilla extract. Pour this butter mixture into the dry ingredients and stir just until everything is incorporated, forming a moist batter resembling cookie dough.
- Top the Peaches: Using your hands or a spoon, sprinkle the batter evenly over the peach slices to cover them.
- Bake the Cobbler: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly around the edges.
- Rest Before Serving: Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it rest at room temperature for 15 minutes to allow the filling to thicken slightly and make serving easier.
- Serve: Spoon warm peach cobbler into bowls and optionally top with ice cream for a delicious dessert experience.
Notes
- For juicier peaches, sprinkle with cornstarch before adding sugar to avoid a runny filling.
- This cobbler can be served warm or at room temperature, but it is best enjoyed with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
- If fresh peaches are unavailable, frozen sliced peaches (thawed and drained) can be used as a substitute.
- Ensure the baking dish is well greased to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- The topping can be gently pressed down if it seems too crumbly before baking.
