Recipe
Nothing beats the comforting taste of a warm, homemade peach cobbler. This classic dessert combines juicy peaches with a buttery, golden crust for a treat that’s perfect any time of the year.
Ingredients
- 8 fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
- ¼ cup white sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- ⅛ tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 2 tsp cornstarch
For the topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup white sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- ¼ cup boiling water
For the crust sprinkle:
- 3 tbsp white sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large bowl, combine peaches, ¼ cup white sugar, ¼ cup brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Toss gently and transfer to a 9×13-inch baking dish. Bake for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the topping. In a separate bowl, mix flour, ¼ cup white sugar, ¼ cup brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in boiling water until just combined.
- Remove peaches from the oven and drop spoonfuls of the topping over them. Sprinkle with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes or until the topping is golden brown.
Notes
- For a crispier crust, broil for an additional 1–2 minutes at the end (watch closely).
- Frozen peaches can be substituted if fresh aren’t available—just thaw and drain excess liquid.

What To Serve With It
I love serving my homemade peach cobbler with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a perfect warm-and-cool combo, but you can mix it up with flavors like cinnamon or butter pecan. If I’m in a lighter mood, whipped cream adds a fluffy, sweet touch, and I sometimes sprinkle a little cinnamon on top for extra flavor. Both options are easy and make the cobbler feel like a complete dessert treat.
Ice Cream Pairings
Why not take your peach cobbler to the next level by serving it with a scoop of ice cream? The warm, spiced peaches and buttery crust pair perfectly with cold, creamy vanilla—it’s a classic for a reason. If you’re feeling adventurous, try cinnamon or caramel swirl ice cream for extra depth. For a tangy twist, a scoop of vanilla bean with a drizzle of honey balances the sweetness. Even butter pecan adds a nutty crunch that complements the soft fruit. Just don’t skip the ice cream—it melts into the cobbler, creating a luscious sauce that’s downright irresistible. Trust me, you’ll love it.
Whipped Cream Options
Ice cream’s a great partner for peach cobbler, but don’t overlook whipped cream—it’s just as dreamy. I love how its light, fluffy texture melts into the warm cobbler, adding a creamy contrast. Homemade whipped cream is my go-to—just heavy cream, a splash of vanilla, and a sprinkle of sugar whipped to soft peaks. If you’re short on time, store-bought works, but try the flavored kinds like cinnamon or bourbon for a fun twist. For extra flair, top it with a dusting of nutmeg or a drizzle of caramel. Trust me, it’s a game-changer.
