My 4 ingredient peach cobbler recipe uses canned peaches to make a super easy dessert with minimal effort. It has a rich, buttery batter and topped with the perfect crisp topping!
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.
