Ingredients

  • 3 cans 15 ounces each sliced peaches
  • 2 cups self rising flour
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar divided
  • 2 sticks 16 tablespoons butter, divided and melted

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F and grease a 9” baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. 
  • Drain the cans of peaches well, but reserve ¼ cup of the liquid. Add the drained peach slices and reserved ¼ cup of liquid to the greased baking dish.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar, and 1 ½ sticks (12 tablespoons) melted butter. It should have a crumbly, streusel-like consistency. Sprinkle the mixture over the peaches– do not stir them together! 
  • Melt the remaining half stick (4 tablespoons) of butter and drizzle it over the crumb topping. Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup of sugar over the top of the cobbler. 
  • Bake it for 1 hour, or until the cobbler is bubbly and golden brown. 

Notes

  • Always drain the canned fruit before adding it to the dish to control the amount of liquid in the cobbler.
  • Don’t skimp on the butter! The richness of the butter really makes it taste amazing, and the saltiness helps balance the rest of the dish.
  • Do not stir the batter and peaches together. Instead, I pour the flour mixture over the top of the cobbler to create the classic crunchy topping.
  • Fruit cobbler is always best hot, so I serve it right out of the oven!
  • I store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It can be eaten cold or warmed up in the oven or air fryer to get that nice crispy topping back.
