Tips

For the best texture, make sure you’re using self-rising flour (not all-purpose), and don’t stir the batter and butter together—leaving them layered helps create that classic cobbler-style crust as it bakes.

Let the cobbler rest after baking so it can set up slightly and the syrupy peach layer thickens; store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat individual portions in the microwave or a low oven.

FAQ

Can I use fresh or frozen peaches instead of pie filling?
Yes, you can use fresh or frozen sliced peaches tossed with a bit of sugar and a spoonful of cornstarch, but pie filling is the quickest option.

What if I don’t have self-rising flour?
You can make a quick substitute by mixing 1 cup all-purpose flour with 1½ teaspoons baking powder and ¼ teaspoon salt.

Can I use a different fruit pie filling?
Absolutely—apple, cherry, or berry pie filling will all work with the same batter.

Do I have to use cinnamon on top?
No, it’s optional, but a light sprinkle of cinnamon adds warmth and makes the cobbler smell and taste even better.

How should I serve this cobbler?
It’s delicious warm on its own, but even better with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
