Peach Cobbler Recipe
(scroll to bottom of post for printable recipe page)

Ingredients

2 cups fresh sliced peaches (or one 29 ounce can of sliced peaches in natural juice, drained)
1 cup Bisquick All Purpose Mix
1 cup of milk
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 cup of sugar

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit

In an 8 x 8 baking dish, stir Bisquick mix, milk, nutmeg and cinnamon together until thoroughly mixed. Stir in melted butter.

In a medium mixing bowl, stir sugar and peaches. Spoon peaches over the cobbler crust.

NOTE: Adding sugar to the peaches is optional. If your peaches are over-ripe, they may already be super sweet or if you choose to use peaches canned in heavy syrup, they will already be sweet enough. Or perhaps you are minimizing sugar in your recipes. In these situations, feel free to omit the sugar.

Bake for one hour or until crust is a golden brown. Serve warm and enjoy!

Tip: Cobbler is terrific when served hot with vanilla ice cream and may be enjoyed cold, too.

    This is very similar to the recipe my grandmother taught me. I make this for my husband and 4 kids all the time. I use the flour and baking powder together instead of bisquick. I melt the butter in the pan first. Then in a med. Bowl I add the dry ingredients and whisk to make sure it’s evenly destibuted. Then I add in the milk. Pour into the pan with the butter. Then I spoon the peaches evenly into the pan. Then bake!! So easy and the family loves it.

      Not sure as I haven’t baked it that way and I’m not sure how much liquid you’ve added by not draining them. But by best guess, not draining the peaches will likely extend the baking time and may make the cobbler a little more soft in consistency, not as cake-like.

    Add the milk in the first step after setting the oven temperature… “In an 8 x 8 baking dish, stir Bisquick mix, milk, nutmeg and cinnamon together until thoroughly mixed.”

    And enjoy!

    Cat Voci, attempted to email a reply to your question, but there wasn’t any attached to your profile.

    In answer: There is an alternative method to making which is using cold butter, cutting it into the crust, spreading across the bottom (thereby, not patting down) then adding the milk.

    I opted to include the easy instructions instead, which, in my opinion, yields a better and more consistent result anyhow.

    Hope that helps!

    If using canned peaches, should they be unsweetened?

    • Barb W.
    • April 10, 2013
    Reply

    I’ve used the same recipe with plums, cherries and mixed berries… always turns out fabulous. Imagine that blueberries and strawberry ruhbarb will work well, too. You’ll have to let us know if you experiment and how it turns out!

    Barbara Heald- depending upon your software and browser, you should find a “print” option in the top menu bar to print the page. Otherwise, you can also email the page to yourself using the “M” button under the last picture in the post. Then you can select the text that you wish to print or print the email. Alternatively, highlight and “copy” the text you want, then “paste” it to a notepad or word processor to print. Hope that helps!

    If you are using canned peaches, I prefer to use unsweetened (or in natural juice,) but you may choose to use sweetened, too. The result will be sweeter, but it will depend upon your taste preference.

    Enjoy all!

      The crust on the top forms naturally during baking. No need to put anything on top, it will all happen during the baking process as the Bisquick “rises.”

    but is there a lot of dough throughout the cobbler by letting it rise that way or can you just make 2 pie crust one for the top and one for the bottom.

      • Barb Webb
      • April 29, 2013
      Reply

      Hi Elissa,

      There is dough throughout the cobbler. As the crust is more of a batter that rises, than a traditional pre-formed crust. This is very typical of Southern cobblers.

      If you’d prefer a different variation, you’ll find plenty of other peach pie and cobbler recipes by running a quick search, some that use traditional crusts, some that use biscuits, and still others similar to my favorite one that I’ve featured.

      No doubt, it will be nummy no matter what you decide!

      Best Wishes,
      Barb

      Ideally, yes, though I have known people who leave the peels on as they will be quite soft. I think that makes it a little too chewy and prefer to peel them and feed the scraps to the animals 🙂

        I have a French convection oven in the house I’m renting. I made this last night and it was dark brown, didn’t rise and the peaches were dry and not cooked or juicy. It went in the trash! I have one in the oven now at 50+° lower temperature. I think the air from the convection oven over cooked the top and the middle didn’t cook enough. Anyone have any ideas? Everything I cook browns REALLY FAST. Foil on top, maybe?

        1. Reply

          I think lower temperature is the way to go and putting foil on top to keep it from over browning is a brilliant idea! Convection ovens can be tricky as they do not always heat evenly. Hope your next round turns out great!

    @barbara Heald – Here’s an easy way to print a recipe when there’s no Print button visible:

    Hold your left mouse button down and select only the actual recipe text – leave it selected.

    When you go to print, one of the options should be Print Selection. Choose that, hit print and there you go.

    If you need the print bigger, copy and paste the text into your word processor, then choose a larger font size. This is very basic stuff, but I hope it helps. Fritz

      My initial thought is yes as they are close in composition, but as I haven’t tested it out I couldn’t say for sure. The common consensus from other sites (after running a Google search) is that Krusteaz can be swapped in for Bisquick for pancakes, but couldn’t find any information on use in a cobbler or cake-like recipe.

      Hi Jona! Thank for stopping by and for the awesome feedback! Gluten free flour may be used for this recipe, but it will taste a little different, of course, as each flour has distinct properties. If it’s an all-purpose flour, it should be a measure for measurement swap, but do be sure to read the details on your flour bag or box, some may have special instructions. Do let me know how it turns out!

      • Barb Webb
      • October 11, 2015
      Reply

      You spoon the peaches over the cobbler crust which will already be in the pan. So in essence, the answer is yes, Spooning is preferable to pouring the peaches as it allows you to easily ensure there is an even distribution of peaches throughout the dish. The peaches will sink into the crust layer as it bakes.

    Made this tonight and it was wonderful. It truly hit the spot. I made a few changes because I know what I like and don’t like. I added a half tsp of vanilla to the crust part and lessened the amount of nutmeg to a quarter tsp. For me nutmeg tends to be strong. Otherwise this recipe is heavenly. Will definitely make this again and recommend to others. Thanks for the share.

      • Barb Webb
      • January 26, 2016
      Reply

      Hi Karen. Good question! Those packed in heavy syrup are likely sweet enough, yes and you can skip the sugar. I’ll make a note of that in the recipe for others. The sugar step can be skipped even with fresh peaches, it’s really just a matter of taste and it helps temper the peaches when some of the fresh ones may have a bit of sour to them (which happens if they were picked slightly early.) Hope that helps!
