    Do you know the difference between a cobbler and a crisp? How about a brown betty and a crumble? Well, they are different but yet similar. They are all baked fruit desserts. The cobbler is a cross between a cake and biscuit and is so delicious! Now the rest of the baked fruit desserts are just as delicious, but we are focused on the cobbler today! Which has a delightful pie like filling on the bottom and a sweet biscuit topping. So dang good!

    Homemade Peach Cobbler Ingredients

    • Peaches
    • Lemon Juice
    • Brown Sugar
    • Pure Vanilla Extract
    • Unbleached All Purpose Flour
    • Sugar
    • Baking Powder
    • Salted Butter
    • Buttermilk

    Substitution Suggestions:

    • Peaches: Frozen peaches and canned peaches can be used in the recipe. Thaw the frozen peaches before baking and drain canned peaches before using. Peeled and sliced fresh peaches are delicious in the recipe too.
    • Brown Sugar: The brown sugar is used to sweeten the peach filling. If you prefer you can use white sugar, but brown sugar really does give the best flavor.
    • Salted Butter: Unsalted butter can be substituted, add ¼ teaspoon of salt to the biscuit topping if using unsalted.
    • Buttermilk: If you don't have any buttermilk on hand, you can easily make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to your measuring cup. Then fill with milk to 1 cup. Let it sit for 5 minutes.

    How To Make Old Fashioned Peach Cobbler

    1. First, you'll need to preheat the oven to 350°F, get a 2 quart or 9x13 baking dish and gather all your ingredients!
    2. Next, combine the peaches, brown sugar, lemon juice, vanilla, and 1 tablespoon flour in a large bowl.
    3. Then evenly spread the peaches into the baking dish.

    FAQs About Homemade Peach Cobbler

    How to store leftover cobbler?

    Store any leftover cobbler covered tightly in the fridge. It will last 3-4 days in the fridge. You can warm servings of cobbler in the microwave or put the whole baking dish of cobbler that has come to room temperature back in a 350°F oven and warm the cobbler through. Cover the top with foil if it looks to be getting too brown.

    Can I use canned peaches?

    Canned peaches are a great substitute for this recipe. Drain them well before using.

    What's the difference between crisp and cobbler?

    A crisp is typically made with a crumble or streusel using oats on top of a fruit filling while a cobbler is more of a biscuit or cake topping over the fruit.

    Why is my peach cobbler runny?

    Usually this means your fruit was extra juicy or ripe or it hasn't cooled enough to thicken. Add 1 tablespoon of flour or corn starch to the fruit before baking and it will help thicken the juices of the peaches.
