You'll make this easy peach cobbler recipe again & again! Because juicy peaches + buttery topping + vanilla ice cream = a match made in heaven.
This peach cobbler recipe has been a long time coming. If you’ve followed the blog for a while, you know that peaches are my favorite part of summer. I add them to salads, serve them with cheese, top them onto pizza, and, of course, devour them plain. Given all the peach recipes I’ve made over the years, it’s high time I shared a more classic, easy peach cobbler recipe.
Homemade peach cobbler can go in a few directions. Sometimes a sweet, cake-like batter surrounds the fruit, while other times a biscuit-like topping covers it. Still other times, a light, flaky dough dots the peaches. Because I’m a huge fan of fruit crisps, I opted for the third kind, sprinkling my peaches with crumbles of a simple, 7-ingredient cobbler topping.
Because peak-season peaches are so sweet & juicy on their own, it doesn’t take much to transform them into a delicious dessert. This easy peach cobbler recipe calls for just 10 ingredients, and peaches are truly the star of the show. Since I’m a peach purist, I don’t sweeten them, simmer them, or peel them but I do drizzle them with a little lemon juice for brightness. I dot them with the topping – a mix of flour, sugar, cinnamon, salt, baking soda, and coconut oil – and serve it all with generous scoops of vanilla ice cream. Naturally sweet and brimming with peachy flavor, this one’s an essential late summer treat.
How to Make Peach Cobbler
Like most fruit crisps and crumbles, this cobbler recipe comes together with minimal effort. Here’s all you need to do:
- Slice your peaches into eighths and layer them into the bottom of a greased 9×13 baking dish.
- Drizzle them with lemon juice!
- Stir together the topping ingredients until they combine to form a crumbly dough.
- Sprinkle the dough over the peaches, and bake in a 400-degree oven until the topping is lightly golden brown and the peaches are juicy, about 30 minutes.
- Scoop into bowls with vanilla ice cream, and dig in while it’s still warm. Enjoy!
Easy Peach Cobbler Recipe Tips
As the ultimate peach fan, I’ve been making peach desserts for years. Here are my best tips for making one that’s pitch-perfect every time:
- Get your peaches ahead of time. Whenever I go to the store looking for the perfect peach, the ones I find are always rock-hard or too mushy. If you want to make a great peach cobbler, buy your fruit a few days in advance and let it ripen on your counter. When the peaches are soft, you’re ready to bake! (After they ripen, you can also store them in the fridge for up to a few days.)
- Err on the side of more fruit, not less. You want the peaches to cover the bottom of your pan completely, so overlap the slices as needed. As you can see in the photos above, I even have a double layer of fruit in some places!
- Leave some clumps. Nothing beats a bite of peach cobbler with a big lump of golden brown, buttery dough, so don’t break up the cobbler topping too much as you sprinkle it over the fruit!
- Serve with vanilla ice cream. I love all fruit desserts with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, but I especially recommend it here. This cobbler is still good on its own, but the ice cream gives it a delectable “peaches & cream” finish. If ice cream’s not your thing, a dollop of whipped cream or coconut cream would be excellent too.

I made this cobbler from Palisade Peaches and used almond flour instead of all-purpose. It turned out great! And sweet from the peaches without too much sugar. Everyone loved it.
Hi Wendy, I’m so glad it was a hit!
Question: can you double this recipe in the same baking dish?

Wow!!!! This was amazingly simple and so delicious. I made this yesterday and it was devoured by my family. I’m seriously considering make it again tomorrow ?.
Thanks for sharing!!
Hi Nina, I’m so glad you loved it!
Have you tried this with almond flour?
This turned out amazing! I followed the recipe exactly and even sprinkled some extra cinnamon. I opted for butter instead of oil. Don’t let the vanilla ice cream be optional!
Ha ha, I’m so glad you enjoyed it 🙂
I made this for Sunday lunch. I followed the recipe exactly. Unfortunately, Not my favorite, as it turned out more like a crisp to be spooned over ice cream. With only baking soda, it does not rise, so there is no cake-like parts. It is more like a streusel topping. Not bad, just not what I was looking for in a cobbler that can be with ice cream or a stand alone. Not sure that I will make it again, as I also have a crisp/crumble recipe that is better.
Wish I would’ve seen this before I popped it in the oven ?
Hi! do you know what the measuring would be for 12 people? I’m so bad with figuring that out.
I just tripled my ingredients accordingly and my first dish is in the oven. I wanted more of the crumble top so i just made that with four cans of sliced peaches that I drained
Great peach dessert, easy, and quick. With talenti vanilla madegascar ice cream
I’m so glad you loved it!

Great recipe! So simple and tasty!
I made this today and it was great. It was not overly sweet like most desserts which I appreciated and enjoyed. The flavor of the peaches came through even with the added ice cream I’d definitely make his again.

A delicious summer recipe! I added pecans, rolled oats, and cardamom to the topping and it gave it a perfect texture. (And the vanilla ice cream is a must!).
ooh yum! I’m glad you enjoyed.
Oh my.. I must do this
This fresh peach dessert went together quick & easy, which was a treat in itself! I’ve avoided peaches because it always seemed they went from rock hard to rotten overnight…but I had to try this recipe. The scoop of dairy-free vanilla ice cream was the “cherry on top”! Thank you for a winner of a recipe!
