Lazy Man's Peach Cobbler
Equipment
- 1 9 x 9-inch baking pan
- 1 oven
Ingredients
- 8 tablespoon unsalted butter or 1 stick, melted. You can try vegan butter or coconut oil as a dairy-free alternative.
- 1 cup all-purpose flour - If needed substitute regular flour with gluten-free flour.
- 1 ⅓ cups granulated sugar divided - Cane sugar or coconut sugar also works.
- 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg You can also replace nutmeg with allspice or cinnamon.
- ¾ cup whole milk or half-and-half - Or, try almond or oat milk.
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract or brandy or almond extract, my favorite (the latter makes this dessert much more delicious!)
- 29 ounce can of sliced peaches in heavy or light syrup, drained - For a variation, try other canned fruits like cherries or apples.
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
- Pour melted butter into a 9 x 9-inch pan or baking dish. Reserve! TIP: Avoid using a smaller pan because it will take much longer to bake. Prefer baking pans or baking dishes that are wide rather than too deep!
- In a medium bowl, combine together flour, 1 cup sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, milk, and vanilla extract, whisking until forming a homogeneous, smooth mixture.
- Spoon the flour mixture evenly into the melted butter, but do NOT stir! Then, distribute the sliced peaches on top. Again, do NOT stir!
- Mix the remaining ⅓ cup of sugar with the cinnamon and sprinkle the sugar mixture evenly on top of the peaches. Do NOT stir!
- Bake this poor man's peach cobbler for 45-50 minutes or until set on top. Enjoy warm or at room temperature with your favorite vanilla ice cream. I enjoy mine with some toasted almond slices on top for a crunch!

Recipe Notes
-
- Fridge: Once cooled, store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.
-
- Freezer: You can freeze the cooled cobbler for up to 2 months. Just make sure it’s tightly covered in a freezer-safe container. Make sure to thaw and reheat it before serving. However, the sugary crisp crust may become slightly soggy after thawing.
-
- Reheating: Reheat individual portions, covered, in the microwave just until warm. You could also preheat the oven to 350 degrees F, cover the cobbler with aluminum foil, and reheat for 10 to 15 minutes.
-
- Prep ahead: You can make the lazy man’s cobbler in advance, bake it, let it cool, and keep it covered in the fridge for up to 2 days. Make sure to reheat before serving. Please, do not make it in advance and store it unbaked in the fridge; otherwise, the batter won’t rise in the oven properly.
