Why Canned Peaches Work for Peach Cobbler Recipes
Canned peaches simplify the cobbler process so much! They are huge time savers and still taste amazing. With no need to peel, slice, etc., you can bake this homemade peach cobbler and have it on the table in less than an hour. 🙌
Recipe Ingredients
- Canned Peaches – You’ll need about three cans of peaches for this cobbler. Grab your favorite brand or variety next time you’re at the store. Feel free to replace them with frozen peaches for a fresh peach flavor.
- Cobbler Sauce – Not sure if cobbler sauce is an actual term, but to make those peaches nice and saucy, you’ll need some juice reserved from the canned peaches, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, granulated and brown sugar, and some cornstarch to thicken everything up.
- Cobbler Topping – Flour, salt, baking powder, sugar, butter, buttermilk, and vanilla extract make up the dough for the cobbler topping.
How to Make Peach Cobbler Using Canned Peaches
- Preheat your oven to 375℉ (190℃).
- Peaches – In a medium-sized pan over medium heat, cook the drained peaches, ¼ cup reserved juice, granulated and brown sugar, spices, lemon juice, and cornstarch until the sugar dissolves. Stir occasionally until it thickens. Then, remove it from the heat and add 1-2 tablespoons of butter. Set aside (or spoon it into the baking dish). (Photos 1-4)
- Dry – In a separate bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. (Photo 5)
- Wet – Stir in the buttermilk, vanilla, and butter into the dry ingredients until just combined. (Photos 6-7)
- Assemble – Spoon the hot peaches and syrup into the baking dish. Scoop the batter evenly over the peaches; do not stir. (Photo 8)
- Bake – Sprinkle optional brown sugar over the batter, then bake for 30-35 minutes or until the crust turns golden brown.
- Serve – Allow the cobbler to cool slightly; it’s best served warm. For comfort food at its finest, top it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.😋
Recipe Variations
- Other canned fruit. Canned apples, pears, or even pineapple would work well with this recipe.
- Berry peach cobbler. Try adding a cup of blackberries, raspberries, or blueberries to the filling for a delicious summery treat. 🫐
- Spice it up with ginger. Add fresh or crystallized ginger with the peaches for a warm, slightly spicy bite.
Tips and Tricks
- To adjust sweetness: If your peaches are especially sweet or you prefer less sugar, halve the amount of sugar. If you like it extra sweet, add ¼ cup each of brown and granulated sugar.
- Chill the dough for a fluffier topping. Optionally, you can chill the dough for 15-20 minutes before baking. Cold dough puffs up better in the oven, resulting in a fluffier topping.
- Always let it rest. Give the cobbler 10-15 minutes to cool before serving. That allows the filling to set, making it easier to scoop and enhancing the flavors. 🤤
Make-Ahead Instructions
To make peach cobbler ahead of time, assemble it in an oven-safe dish, but don’t bake it. Cover it tightly and store it in the fridge for up to two days or in the freezer for up to three months.
When ready to bake, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight, then bake as directed. Add 10-15 minutes to the bake time if it’s still partially frozen.
Serving and Storage Instructions
Serve peach cobbler warm after it’s had a chance to cool and set. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for 3-5 days or freeze them for up to 6 months and enjoy them chilled or warm them up in the microwave.
What Goes With Peach Cobbler with Canned Peaches
Serve peach cobbler after a hearty Southern-style meal of fried chicken, black-eyed peas, and greens for a fresh, sweet finish. It goes great with a glass of sweet iced tea or a steaming mug of coffee. ☕️
