Paula Deen’s Peach Cobbler leaves your mouth wanting more and more. This delicious cobbler was gone within 20 minutes of setting it out! Everyone raved about how tasty and scrumptious it was. For me I loved how easy this recipe was to make and that I had all the ingredients on hand to make. While the peach cobbler was cooking in the oven my tummy was growling just from the aroma!
I served Homemade Whipped Cream with my cobbler but you don’t have too, you can also add a scoop of vanilla icecream.

What syrup?
The sugar and water creates a syrup when cooked with the fruit.
The syrup from the peaches and sugar. It’s like a simple strip. It isn’t really thick
Can you use canned peaches?
You can but they may get mushy on you.
yes, I’ve used canned peaches and canned apples to make this and it’s very good
Yes but it isn’t near as good as letting the peaches set overnight in organic sugar and whole cream
You can but it is not as good as using real fresh summer peaches mixed with whole cream and organic sugar over night
its been in the oven for 45min and still looks really liquid. Anyway to salvage it? :/
Turn up the heat to 400. You can even try broiling at the end to get it done for you.
Add flour
try boiling the fruit and sugar together to create a syrup first. when it gets all viscus on you its ready. t his can be done while the crust is baking for about 10 minutes to get a nice flakiness to it. just something that struck me…
How many peaches equal 4 cups?

I went to the store to buy all the ingredients and there were no peaches!! I need to make it tonight for a holiday party and I don’t really want to use canned peaches.. Can I substitute the peaches for apples/pears?
Yes, it would be delicious with apples!
Can this recipe sit overnight and then reheated before serving? Will it get mushy? Thank you!
I have never tried that but it reheats well for leftovers 🙂
This was just okay. Not quite as fabulous as I had expected. It’s tasty but not close to my fond memories of my Aunt’s delicious cobblers.
I think it needed a little longer in the oven to not be so gummy. I think the batter needs a pinch of salt, some vanilla and a mix of cinnamon and nutmeg.
I would say the salt, vanilla and cinnamon/nutmeg would be great additions.
When I cooked mine. It was very flat and I cooked it in a glass dish (13×9 pan)…where did I mess up?
Cobbler doesn’t rise.
Did you use self-rising flour? If you don’t have any on hand you can make your own: Using 1 cup flour, add 1/2 tsp salt and 1-1/2 tsp baking powder – mix well. So for this recipe you need 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 tsp salt and 2-1/4 tsp baking powder!!!
Could you use any substitute for butter in this recipe?
Yes, you can!
I made this tonight and oh my gosh, so good!!!!!!!!! I added some cinnamon, salt, and vanilla to the batter. It rose perfectly and I already stole a bite of it, dinner isn’t quite ready and I couldn’t resist waiting till AFTER dinner…………hehehe Great recipe with some yummy additions. Thank you!!!
Is it ok to use orange peaches and not white peaches?
Yes, I think so.
This is similar to a recipe I have been using for 20+ years. Here are some tips that I have learned. 🙂
The one I make doesn’t use water, as the peaches and sugar cooking makes a nice syrup. I don’t use cinnamon because our family doesn’t like it. I put a tablespoon of lemon juice in the peach mixture as it cooks, which deepens the flavor of the peaches. Please DO NOT use canned peaches for this recipe. Canned peaches are already cooked and they will disintegrate, leaving you with no peach flavor. When you don’t have fresh peaches, use frozen. I use 2 – 16 oz. bags, and you don’t even have to thaw them first! Make sure your baking pan has high enough sides, as it will rise while baking and may bubble over. When it it is ready it will have a nice golden color. I use unsalted butter, which keeps it from looking burned. Just put a pinch of salt in the batter instead. When you remove it from the oven it will fall, and that’s OK. I hope this is helpful. Enjoy 🙂
I just made this peach cobbler and it came out delicious. Next time will add vanilla. I used peaches I bought in glass bottles and the came out great came out still whole. I only used 1 cup of sugar and it was perfect.
Did not turn out like the picture. The flour mixture sat at the bottom. Yuck! Got some vanilla ice cream and put the peaches on top. Gonna throw out the rest. Not a keeper ?
Did you use self-rising flour? The first time I made this we accidentally used all-purpose flour and the same thing happened. The second time we added baking powder and salt to equal self-rising flour and it rose up beautifully!
Made this for a cousins reunion yesterday…it was such a HIT!!!! Everyone loved it. Did what some of the posts suggested…cut back sugar, added vanilla and a bit of lemon juice to cooking peaches and made my own self-rising flour. Was the best peach cobbler I have ever made. Husband loved it a lot. A scoop of ice cream would have made it even better. Thanks!!!!
Awesome recipe. I’ve made this twice. I added 2 eggs the second time I made it and it turned out even better. Fresh peaches and added blueberries on top right before baking it.
If you don’t have self rising flour, that’s ok- just a teaspoon of baking powder.
This is my new favorite recipe.
