Sandra This Paula Deen Peach Cobbler Recipe is an easy and classic recipe, which is made with fresh peaches and self-rising flour. It’s the ultimate comfort food recipe, ready in about 45 minutes.
Paula Deen Peach Cobbler Recipe Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups self-rising flour
- 1 stick Butter
- ½ cup water
- 2 cups sugar, divided
- 4 cups peaches, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup milk
- ground cinnamon, optional
How To Make Paula Deen Peach Cobbler
- Prep the oven and pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the stick of butter in a 3-quart (or 9×13-inch) baking dish and place it in the oven to melt.
- Make the peach filling: While the butter melts, combine the sliced peaches, 1 cup of the sugar, and the water in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil and then simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- Mix the batter: In a medium bowl, mix the remaining 1 cup of sugar, the self-rising flour, and the milk. Stir until just combined to create a smooth batter.
- Assemble the cobbler: Remove the baking dish with the melted butter from the oven. Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter. Do not stir. Spoon the cooked peaches on top of the batter, then gently pour the syrup from the saucepan over everything.
- Bake until golden: Sprinkle the top with ground cinnamon, if using. The batter will rise up and around the peaches as it bakes. Bake for 30 to 45 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Recipe Tips
- How do I get the perfect cobbler crust? The most important step is to not stir the batter after you pour it over the melted butter. This unique method allows the butter to fry the bottom of the batter, creating a tender, cake-like crust that rises up around the fruit.
- Can I use canned peaches for this recipe? Yes, this is a great shortcut. Use two 15-ounce cans of sliced peaches in syrup, drained. You can skip the step of boiling them with sugar and water. Simply spoon the drained peaches over the batter and proceed with the recipe.
- How do I know when my cobbler is done? The cobbler is ready when the crust has risen, is a deep golden brown, and the fruit filling is thick and bubbly around the edges.
- Why is my cobbler runny? It’s crucial to let the cobbler rest for at least 15 minutes after it comes out of the oven. This allows the hot, syrupy filling to cool and set up properly.
What To Serve With Peach Cobbler
This warm, sweet cobbler is a classic Southern dessert. It is absolutely essential to serve it with:
- A large scoop of vanilla bean ice cream (the best choice!)
- A dollop of fresh whipped cream
How To Store Peach Cobbler
Refrigerate: Store leftover cobbler covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat: Reheat individual portions in the microwave until warm. The crust will be softer than when it was freshly baked, but still delicious.

FAQs
Self-rising flour is all-purpose flour that has baking powder and salt already mixed into it. If you don’t have any, you can make your own by whisking together 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour with 2 ¼ teaspoons of baking powder and ½ teaspoon of salt.
Yes, this cobbler recipe works beautifully with other fruits like blackberries, blueberries, or a mix of berries. You can also use peeled and sliced apples, though you may need to simmer them a little longer to soften them.
For the best texture, peeling the peaches is recommended. The skins can sometimes become tough and separate from the fruit during baking. To easily peel peaches, you can blanch them in boiling water for 30-60 seconds, then transfer them to an ice bath; the skins should slip right off.
