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!

So delicious!!!! Your recipes never fail?
Thanks so much Michelle! I am so glad you enjoyed this recipe:) xTieghan
Hi Tieagan – I want to make this however I am GF. If I subbed the flour for GF option do you think it would turn out as good?
Hi Caitlin,
Yes, that will work well for you! I hope you love this recipe, please let me know if you give it a try! xx
I just made this with a gluten free flour I found at Costco and it was delicious!
Thanks so much Kelly!
Can you make this a day ahead or would you not recommend?
Hi Susan,
Sure, that would be fine, just serve it at room temp:) Please let me know if you have any other questions! xx
This was AMAZING!!! I will admit I’ve never had peach cobbler before but this exceeded my expectations! Even my mom who doesn’t like sweets really loved it. I look forward to many more of your recipes this year!
Hey Jen,
Awesome!! So glad to hear this recipe was enjoyed, thanks for making it! xT
This is my 3rd peach recipe of yours in 2 weeks! And it did not disappoint! Sooo easy. So tasty and I’ll be making again! I dropped a few blueberries on top for added color and a little extra taste. 🙂
Hi Bethany,
Wow! Thank you so much for making so many recipes, I love to hear that they are all enjoyed! xTieghan
This cobbler was delicious, but I would definitely make another half recipe of batter. Maybe I had too many peaches. The recipe should say cups or weight of peaches. I burned the butter and syrup topping in 5 minutes so be careful. It really didn’t need the topping anyway. I will make this again. Thank you.
Hi Gio,
Thanks for making this recipe and sharing your feedback, sorry to hear about the syrup burning. Glad it was enjoyed overall:) xTieghan
It’s ridiculous, that I cannot read a recipe, without constant covering up recipe, with advertisments!!!!
Hi Alisa,
Sorry to hear you are having some issues. The ads should only be on the sides, they do not cover the instructions of any recipe. Ads are a source of income for us and the reason I am able to share FREE daily recipes rather than charging my readers for a subscription. Happy Sunday!!
I just made this for my family and neighbors and it was amazing! I added blueberries in with the peaches, doubled the batter recipe, and added walnuts and oats to make a crunchy topping. So delicious warm with vanilla ice cream! My dad ate it cold for breakfast after!
Hey Christie,
Happy Sunday!! I appreciate you giving this recipe a try and sharing your review, so glad to hear it was enjoyed! I love the addition of blueberries and walnuts! xT
Could you use fresh blackberries instead of peaches? Or perhaps a combination of both?
Hey Taylor,
Totally, that will work well for you! I hope you love this recipe, please let me know if you give it a try! xx
The best peach cobbler I’ve ever had! The maple butter sauce is amazing drizzled over the cobbler and ice cream. Reminded me of sticky toffee pudding, so good!

Hi Mike,
Thanks so much for trying the cobbler, I am so glad it was enjoyed! If you can send me an email about the cookbook, that would be super helpful for communication purposes. xx
I was wondering if you could provide instructions for reheating. I’d like to make this ahead of time and pop it into the oven to serve warm later. Thanks!
Hey Jenny,
I would probably just assemble and the bake fresh when you are ready to serve, if you reheat this will dry out. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you give it a try! xTieghan
This was AMAZING!! My husband and I wanted to eat the whole pan. Best peach cobbler we’ve had and the maple butter added that extra sweet/salty element.
Hey Sommer,
