The Essential Ingredients for This Easy Cobbler

This recipe uses a handful of the simplest pantry staples to create something truly spectacular.

• Original Bisquick Mix: This is the secret shortcut to a perfect cobbler every single time! Bisquick is a pre-made baking mix that contains flour, leavening (like baking powder), fat, and salt all perfectly blended together. Using it guarantees a light, tender, and perfectly risen topping without any fuss.
• Canned Sliced Peaches: The key to making this a delicious, year-round dessert. A large can of sliced peaches provides perfectly sweet and tender fruit without any of the peeling or slicing required for fresh peaches. Be sure to drain them well!
• Butter: Melted butter is stirred directly into the batter, which is a simple but brilliant step. It ensures the topping is incredibly rich, moist, and tender, with a wonderful, buttery flavor in every bite.
• Sugar: A cup of white sugar is tossed with the drained peaches, creating a simple syrup as they bake. This sweetens the fruit and creates those wonderful, jammy pockets throughout the cobbler.
• Milk and Nutmeg: Whole milk brings our simple batter together, adding moisture and richness. A pinch of ground nutmeg is a classic pairing with peaches, adding a warm, aromatic spice note that beautifully complements the sweet fruit.

Bonus: Don’t Have Bisquick? Make Your Own!

If you don’t have a box of Bisquick on hand, you can make a quick substitute for this recipe. Simply whisk together: 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1 tablespoon of cold, cubed butter (cut in with a fork until it resembles coarse crumbs).

Step-by-Step to the Easiest Peach Cobbler

Follow these incredibly simple steps. The beauty of this recipe is its straightforward, “mix-in-the-pan” approach.

Step 1: Prepare the Simple Bisquick Batter

First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

In an ungreased 8×8-inch baking dish, stir together the 1 cup of Original Bisquick mix, the 1 cup of milk, and the 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg. Use a whisk or a fork to stir until the batter is smooth and there are no large lumps.

Pro Tip: Mixing the batter directly in the baking dish is a fantastic shortcut that saves you from washing an extra bowl!

Next, pour the 1/2 cup of melted butter into the batter in the baking dish. Stir it in until it is just blended.

Step 2: Prepare the Sweetened Peaches

In a separate, large bowl, combine the drained, canned sliced peaches and the 1 cup of white sugar. Stir them together gently until the peaches are evenly coated in the sugar.

Step 3: Assemble the Cobbler

Now, simply spoon the sugared peach mixture evenly over the top of the batter in the baking dish. Do not stir the peaches into the batter. Just let them rest on top.

As the cobbler bakes, the lighter batter will rise up and around the heavier peaches, creating the perfect, rustic cobbler texture.

Step 4: Bake to Golden-Brown Perfection

Carefully place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes.

You will know the cobbler is done when the topping has puffed up, is a beautiful deep golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakey part comes out clean. The peach filling will be bubbly and jammy around the edges.

Let the cobbler cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before serving. This allows it to set up slightly.

Serving Your Warm Peach Cobbler

The absolute best way to serve a classic peach cobbler is warm from the oven. The beauty of this dessert is its rustic, home-style presentation. Simply scoop generous portions into bowls.

For the ultimate, classic comfort food experience, top each warm scoop of peach cobbler with a large scoop of high-quality vanilla bean ice cream. The way the cool, creamy ice cream melts into the warm, buttery, and fruity cobbler is pure, undeniable magic. A dollop of fresh, sweetened whipped cream is also a delicious choice.

Storage and Make-Ahead Tips

This Easy Bisquick Peach Cobbler is a wonderful dessert to have on hand for a sweet treat.

• Storage: You can store any leftover cobbler, covered, at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, you can keep it in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days.
• Reheating: This cobbler is delicious at room temperature, but it’s truly at its best when served warm. You can reheat individual portions in the microwave for 30-45 seconds, or reheat the entire cobbler in a 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes, until it is warmed through.
