Homemade Peach Cobbler
*Updated January 2021
Homemade peach cobbler is a classic southern recipe. Just like many other Buttered Home Recipes, this is one that has been around for a while. It is scratch made but really so simple.
And you are not limited to just Peaches either. Any fruit that is in season or that you just feel like having, can be used.
We love making traditions with recipes, just like this Homemade Banana Pudding
For this recipe it is important to note if you are using fresh fruit, cut the fruit into bite size chunks and sprinkle with a little sugar and stir. Allow to sit for about 15-20 minutes and then it can be used.
For this recipe, I used canned peaches in juice. I did drain about 2/3 of the juice off and left the rest to spoon in with the peaches.
So, not to keep you waiting any longer. Here is your Easy, Old Fashioned Peach Cobbler Recipe:

Peach Cobbler made the Old Fashioned way is the Easiest Way!
I know you are thinking, this is too good to be true. I assure you, it’s not! Lots of folks over the years have tried to make this simpler by using shortcuts that really aren’t much shorter than this method.
We hope you find this recipe to not only be easy, but delicious. This is a go to dessert that is easy to make quickly when you need a food gift or a dessert for unexpected company.
I suggest keeping some cans of fruit on hand for this very reason. Also, it is important to note, I NEVER use Pie filling or fruit in heavy syrup.
This recipe has enough sugar without all of the extra added by those. And if you are using canned fruit, you want the fruit to taste as fresh as possible, not weighted down with syrup.

Can you use fresh cherries in place of peaches, if so how many would I use.
You could try! I would pit them, slice them and sprinkle about a quarter cup of sugar on them first. Let them sit and use about 2 cups. Let me know how it turns out!
Looks awesome until nutrition facts
1 g serving=. That many calories, carbs, and sugars!!!!!!
Please correct I love peaches!!!
Thanks for the catch. That should be one serving, out of 12. The carbs are high, as are most things using refined sugars. If you wanted to lessen that, you could use a plant based cup for cup sweetener like swerve or monk fruit. I have corrected the serving size but this, like most traditional dessert recipes are meant to be consumed in moderation.
Does this need to be refrigerated or can it sit out at room temperature?
I always refrigerate it. With so much sugar and dairy, I would be afraid to leave it out for a prolonged amount of time. That is, IF you have any left! 🙂
This sounds wonderful. I need a dessert for now and I don’t have peaches. I do have frozen blueberries. Can I use them in this recipe? What changes should I make?
Yes, that is fine! Blueberries would be great! I would thaw them and drain them and mash them a bit with a little sugar and let them sit about 10 minutes before making.
Could I use all purpose flout instead of the self rising?
You can! Just add two teaspoons of baking powder to the AP flour and sift well.
