This old school Easy Brown Sugar Peach Cobbler is the sweetest use for mid/to late summer peaches. Every spoonful is layered with juicy, sweet summer peaches, rich butter, vanilla, warming cinnamon, and plenty of brown sugar to sweeten the deal. The peaches are juicy, while the topping is crisp on the edges, soft in the center, and extra buttery. Top with vanilla ice cream and salted maple butter for the best peach treat of the summer.
It’s finally here! Friday, the weekend, and time for me to share my favorite peach recipe yet, the simplest old-fashioned peach cobbler. Oh, how I LOVE this cobbler. I spent days perfecting the recipe and have been dying to share the final version.
With today being the last Friday of July, I knew it was the perfect time for a peach recipe. The juiciest, sweetest summer peaches are all filling up the grocery stores, farmer’s markets, and roadside farm stands. And I know just what to do with them.
It’s prime-time peach picking season!
Before summer began, I knew I really wanted to share a peach cobbler recipe. It’s a recipe I haven’t played around with much because I just love the idea of an old-fashioned-style peach cobbler.
One with the sweetest peaches, a “self-made” caramel-like sauce, and vanilla cake-like biscuits on top. Oh, plus ice cream, of course.
This took me time to get just right, but the simpler I made the recipe, the better it became. This is the best peach cobbler.
The details
Start by melting the butter. I like to throw a baking dish with butter into the oven to melt and get a little browned.
While the butter is melting, mix up the batter. It’s simply, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and a sprinkling of cinnamon. Then add in the milk and vanilla to create a pancake-like batter.
The rest is just assembly. You need to toss the peaches with some brown sugar, then layer half of them over the melted butter. Next, pour over the batter and then layer the remaining peaches over the batter.
No stirring is allowed, this is the secret, and what makes this cobbler extra special.
As the cobbler bakes, the butter bubbles up over the topping. This helps to create delicious, golden, crisp edges all while forming a caramel sauce underneath.
The peaches on top caramelize as they sink into the cobbler. Between the rich buttery caramel sauce, crisp edges, and sweet peaches, it’s truly magic.
While the cobbler bakes, I make the maple butter. Just butter, maple, and sea salt. This is not a must but it is really delicious when spooned over the warm cobbler with vanilla ice cream.
The one thing you must do is serve this warm, while the juices are bubbling up, and everything is smelling incredible.
This is a classic summertime dessert that really should be happening on a weekly basis throughout August. It’s dangerously delicious, dangerously addicting, and all-around perfection!

I LOVE peach cobbler, but am unfortunately lactose intolerant. What kind of nut milk would you recommend using?

I have made this recipe twice now. The first time last week with fresh peaches, and it was really good. Yummmm!!!
Today I made the recipe with a mixture of peaches and mangoes and served with vanilla ice cream, drizzling of the salted maple butter sauce and maple toasted pecans for a 4th of July family get together, and it was a big hit! What a heavenly flavor and texture combination! Received so many compliments as on how delicious it tasted! There was none left over, and people made a point to mention again how good it was as they were leaving the celebration. Thanks for this great recipe!

Could I assemble the cobbler a couple hours prior to baking?
Hi Miranda,
Sure, that would work well for you! Let me know if you give this recipe a try, I hope it’s a hit! xT
So sad – followed the recipe to a T but the batter literally disappeared while baking. It smells delish but I’m just left with a bunch of like…cobbler coated peaches? No idea what went wrong 🙁
Hi Macey,
Thanks for trying this recipe and sharing your feedback, sorry to hear you had some issues. It’s really hard for me to say without seeing what yours looked like. What kind of flour did you use? What kind of pan did you bake in? Please let me know how I can help! xx
Do you think this recipe would work with apples?
Hey Barbara,
Totally, I think apples would be great here! Please let me know if you have any other questions:) xT
I have homemade canned peaches from last summer I am dying to use! Do you think that would work well in this recipe? Thanks!
Hey Mel,
Sure, I don’t see why not! Let me know if you give this recipe a try, I hope it turns out well for you! xT
I am really excited to try this out! My son brought home a cheap little peach pie from a local fast food place here while I was getting ready for a cabinet refinishing and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about a real homemade peach cobbler since! I’ve never made one, so I’m hoping this turns out, but this recipe looks great! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much Jeanie! I hope you love this recipe!! xx
Really want to try this recipe! Does it freeze?
Hey Elaine,
Totally, this would be just fine for you to freeze! Let me know if you give the recipe a try! xT
I love this recipe. It is the best peach cobbler recipe I have made by far. It’s now winter and the availability of fresh peaches isn’t the best. Do you think I could use thawed frozen peaches as a substitute? I have been craving this one again!!!!
Hey Krista,
Fantastic!!🌺 I love to hear that this recipe turned out well for you and thanks so much for making it! Yes, that will work well for you! xT
Holy sh*t was this amazing. I tried several other recipes but this was the best by far. I wasn’t sure about the syrup at first but now I’m a believer. That maple butter sauce was an amazing surprise. Im new to cooking and this recipe really made me feel like I knew what I was doing in the kitchen. The end result is so good you can hardly believe it was so simple to make.
Hey Chelsea,
Fantastic!! Thanks a bunch for trying this recipe out, I’m thrilled to hear that it turned out well for you:)
