Peach cobbler has deep roots in American Southern cuisine, where fresh fruit was baked under a simple batter or biscuit topping. Unlike pies, cobblers are easier and quicker to make, yet they deliver the same cozy flavor. The Pioneer Woman’s version keeps the tradition alive with a straightforward method and pantry-friendly ingredients.
Fresh peaches (6–8, peeled and sliced; or 2 cans, drained)
Sugar (1 cup, divided)
All-purpose flour (1 cup)
Baking powder (2 tsp)
Salt (¼ tsp)
Milk (1 cup)
Unsalted butter (½ cup, melted)
Cinnamon (½ tsp, optional)
Lemon juice (1 tbsp, if using fresh peaches)
If using fresh peaches, peel and slice them, then toss with ½ cup sugar and lemon juice. Let it sit for 10 minutes to release juices.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, remaining sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in milk until smooth.
Pour melted butter into the baking dish. Pour batter over butter (do not stir). Spoon peaches and their juices evenly over the batter. Sprinkle with cinnamon if desired.
Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 40–45 minutes, until golden brown and bubbly.
Let cool slightly. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
