Ingredients

Peach Filling

550-600 g sliced canned peaches (about 1 large 30 ounce can of peaches drained)
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 tbsp salted butter

Topping:

1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/3 cup milk
1/4 cup salted butter melted
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Garnishes

1 tbsp raw sugar
2 large scoops vanilla ice cream
3 tbsp caramel sauce

Instructions

Prep the filling: In a medium baking dish, combine canned peaches, brown sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, cornstarch, and cubed salted butter. Gently mix until coated.
Make the topping: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and cinnamon. Add milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and pourable.
Assemble the cobbler: Pour the batter evenly over the peach filling. It doesn’t have to fully cover the peaches—they’ll peek through as it bakes. Sprinkle raw sugar on top for crunch.
Bake: Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 30–40 minutes, or until the topping is golden and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
Serve: Let cool slightly, then serve warm with scoops of vanilla ice cream and generous drizzles of caramel sauce.

Notes

(1) You can sub pumpkin pie spice for cinnamon for a fall twist.

(2) If using fresh peaches, toss them with the brown sugar and let them sit for 10–15 minutes. This helps release some of their juices. Drain off a bit of the excess liquid and add an extra ½ tablespoon of cornstarch to make sure the filling sets up nicely.

(3) This is a small batch recipe. This peach cobbler fits perfectly in a 6x8-inch or 1.5–2 quart baking dish. If you want to double the recipe, use a 9x13 pan and increase bake time slightly by another 5-10 minutes, or until golden brown.
