I mean, okay, fine. It’s not actual sunshine, it’s just a pile o’ peaches, but guys. That’s just as good. Trust me.
This peach cobbler recipe is like summer in a cast iron skillet. Or a 9×13. Or whatever it is you want to bake your fresh peach cobbler in. You do you.
So, this easy peach cobbler recipe can start with either fresh or frozen peaches, which I LOVE.
Good fresh peaches can be tricky to find around my area most of the year, so I resort to frozen peaches more often than not. They work just fine.
Fresh peaches are more work anyway – peeling and slicing and trying so hard not to just eat all the sliced pieces from the bowl. 😉
How to make peach cobbler:
Okay, so in my opinion, this is the best peach cobbler recipe for a couple of reasons. Number 1 – it’s freaking delicious. Number 2 – it’s freaking easy.
You’ll start with fresh or frozen sliced peaches and toss them with just a little brown sugar and cinnamon. You could also use honey in place of the brown sugar, if that’s the sorta thing you’re into.
That’s literally all there is to the filling – peaches, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Easy, right?
The cobbler topping comes together fairly quickly too.
You’ll start with flour, sugar, cinnamon, salt, and baking powder. Toss that together and then cut in some cold butter.
This is a biscuit-y sort of topping, so we’re following a biscuit-y sort of method. Speaking of biscuits, have you tried my homemade biscuits? Heaven.
Next, you’ll stir in some very hot water. Just pop the water in a mug and microwave it for a minute or so to get it good and hot.
I like to use my hands to break off little chunks of dough and place it all over the peaches. Easy peasy and don’t worry about any little gaps in the dough. It all works out, promise.

Pastry cutters make working butter into flour a total breeze. You can also use a fork or a couple of butter knives if you don’t want any extra gadgets in your drawers. 😉
