Paula Deen’s Peach Cobbler leaves your mouth wanting more and more. This delicious cobbler was gone within 20 minutes of setting it out for my family! 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! It is a great dessert to bake when you are expecting company because of how cook the entire house smells.
Simply combine the peaches, 1 cup sugar, and water in a saucepan and mix well. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes and then remove from the heat. Next put the butter in a 3-quart baking dish and place in oven to melt.
Mix remaining 1 cup sugar, flour, and milk slowly to prevent clumping. Pour mixture over melted butter in your baking dish. Do not stir. Next spoon fruit on top, gently pouring in syrup. Sprinkle top with ground cinnamon, if desired (I did). We call this magic cobbler. The batter will rise to top during baking. Watch it closely and bake for 30 to 45 minutes, depending on doneness and browning.
I served Homemade Whipped Cream with our cobbler but you can easily use store bought whipped cream if you choose. You can also add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Regardless if you choose to serve it alone or with a topping this is a recipe that the entire family will be requesting again and again!
Paula Deen’s Peach Cobbler is a family favorite and so easy to make! Trust me this is out of this world delicious!

Melissa@StockpilingMoms
March 19, 2014 at 9:40 pmThe sugar and water creates a syrup when cooked with the fruit.

June 19, 2018 at 6:26 pmYep, Mommas in da South did this when we ran short on Syrup.
However, brush your teeth afterwards if you don’t want dentures layer in life???

July 20, 2017 at 12:24 amThe syrup from the peaches and sugar. It’s like a simple strip. It isn’t really thick

June 1, 2014 at 3:20 pmCan you use canned peaches?
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
July 13, 2014 at 8:33 pmYou can but they may get mushy on you.
Donna Miller
May 20, 2017 at 9:02 pmyes, I’ve used canned peaches and canned apples to make this and it’s very good
Deedy
July 20, 2017 at 12:25 amYes but it isn’t near as good as letting the peaches set overnight in organic sugar and whole cream
Deedy
July 20, 2017 at 12:27 amYou can but it is not as good as using real fresh summer peaches mixed with whole cream and organic sugar over night
Ilona
August 23, 2015 at 4:41 pmits been in the oven for 45min and still looks really liquid. Anyway to salvage it? :/
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
August 23, 2015 at 4:58 pmTurn up the heat to 400. You can even try broiling at the end to get it done for you.
Deedy
July 20, 2017 at 12:27 amAdd flour
Lois
August 12, 2017 at 1:20 pmIf I don’t have seft rising flour how much baking power
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
August 12, 2017 at 5:25 pmJust add 2 teaspoons of baking powder for each 1 cup plain flour.
Eric
October 24, 2017 at 6:09 pmI don’t have baking powder to add to the plain flour what should I do
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
October 25, 2017 at 9:53 amSubstitutions for baking powder:
Mix ¼ teaspoon baking soda with ½ teaspoon tartar cream. This gives you the equivalent of 1 teaspoon baking powder.
Mix ½ teaspoon baking soda with ½ cup buttermilk, sour milk or plain yogurt. This is the equivalent of 1 teaspoon of baking powder.
Sally
August 12, 2018 at 9:37 amI’ve made this several times and I always have to bake it twice as long as directed.
robin
September 25, 2015 at 9:00 amtry 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…

October 27, 2015 at 5:53 pmHow many peaches equal 4 cups?

December 12, 2015 at 10:35 amI 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?
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
December 14, 2015 at 4:18 pmYes, it would be delicious with apples!
Morgan
January 5, 2016 at 9:36 pmCan this recipe sit overnight and then reheated before serving? Will it get mushy? Thank you!
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
January 6, 2016 at 9:39 amI have never tried that but it reheats well for leftovers 🙂
Ben
January 30, 2016 at 4:21 pmThis 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.
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
January 31, 2016 at 5:12 pmI would say the salt, vanilla and cinnamon/nutmeg would be great additions.
Allyssa
March 28, 2016 at 11:42 pmWhen I cooked mine. It was very flat and I cooked it in a glass dish (13×9 pan)…where did I mess up?
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
March 30, 2016 at 5:55 pmCobbler doesn’t rise.
Norma B
September 1, 2016 at 3:22 pmDid 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!!!
Christine
April 6, 2016 at 10:10 amCould you use any substitute for butter in this recipe?
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
April 6, 2016 at 1:56 pmYes, you can!
Kimberly
June 10, 2016 at 7:45 pmI 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!!!

June 18, 2016 at 3:01 pmIs it ok to use orange peaches and not white peaches?
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
June 19, 2016 at 2:42 pmYes, I think so.

July 16, 2016 at 1:20 amThis 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 🙂

August 1, 2016 at 2:08 amI 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.
Paula
August 2, 2016 at 10:55 pmDid 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 ?
Chantel
August 14, 2016 at 8:15 pmDid 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!
Lin
August 13, 2016 at 10:46 amMade 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!!!!
Sally
June 7, 2017 at 11:25 pmAwesome 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.
Marilyn
August 8, 2017 at 11:09 pmAbout the water/syrup issue: Where it calls for 1/2 C. water – I used 1/4 water and 1/4 buttermilk. And where it calls for 1-1/2 C. milk, again I halved regular milk and buttermilk. The recipe turned out delicious. Everyone liked it! I have heard that buttermilk will give recipes a slightly different taste, and well, it worked out real well!
Vicki P
December 9, 2017 at 9:05 amHow much lemon juice, nutmeg and vanilla should I use?
Betty L.
April 13, 2018 at 2:58 pmI have used Paula Deens Peach Cobbler recipe for a few years, always perfect. So easy too. But I’m going to try different ones this year here in Arkansas we buy our Peaches from a local Fruit and Vegetables Market that has been around for ever family operated too. Hope every one enjoys this cobbler.
Teelawolf
May 30, 2018 at 5:11 pmOkay so I love this recipe and I honestly never made cobbler before this one.
I add cinnamon to the peaches as they cook and I add a lot more than it calls for, I also add cinnamon to the batter along with vanilla. Note: I hate cinnamon… but I absolutely love a lot in this cobbler. I use yellow peaches and add more peaches than is called for (I am a major peach lover and I am guilty for keeping some of the filling for myself to nibble on.)
I made this for my volunteer organization and there was none left to take home for myself, everyone else took it for themselves.
Julie
June 4, 2018 at 6:31 pmI thought I had self rising flour, turned out to be all purpose flour, I’ve already put it in the oven. Do you think it will turn out ok?
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
June 5, 2018 at 9:27 amI think so!
Monica Harrison
November 17, 2018 at 1:39 pmI didn’t have enough of that juicy syrup part of cobbler after it baked. Any idea where I went wrong? The taste was on point. I did use drained can peaches.
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
November 18, 2018 at 11:15 pmI would try not draining the peaches next time. Glad you enjoyed it!
Nina
July 21, 2018 at 8:20 pmThe worst recipe in life. Don’t bother. Paula ain’t never let me down until now. So disappointed.
Cheryl Holland
July 28, 2018 at 6:50 pmIf I make this ahead of the time I’ll be serving it, can it be reheated?
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
July 29, 2018 at 7:22 pmI never have reheated it but baked it fresh to come out of the oven. Leftovers are still good so I imagine so.
Cathy
April 7, 2019 at 6:50 pmJust made it and will be my go to peach cobbler recipe. Followed the recipe and perfect…Making this Easter!!!
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
April 9, 2019 at 12:25 pmThat is awesome!
Charlene Dryman
April 30, 2019 at 4:50 pmCan I use blackberries instead of peaches? I have blackberry bushes and end up with 15 gallons of berries every year.
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
May 1, 2019 at 3:30 pmYes for sure!
Gayle
June 10, 2019 at 3:40 pmExcellent. Used 9×13 pan 35 minutes. Added 1/2t vanilla and cinnamon and 1/8 nutmeg to butter mixture. About 8 medium peaches. Also added 1 T dry cultured buttermilk blend to flour mixture.
Your recipes are always fabulous. Thanks!!
