Cinnamon Peach Cobbler with Fresh Peaches
If you’re looking for a traditional peach cobbler recipe, this isn’t it. You know, the one with blobs of flavorless biscuit dough? I’ll never eat that again when I can have this instead. The recipe reminds me of both my Slow Cooker Hot Fudge Chocolate Cake and Slow Cooker Banana Bread with Brown Sugar Sauce because in both of those you pour water over dough, and during cooking a self-forming sauce is created. The same thing happens here. Let me tell you, the cinnamon-sugar sauce is wonderful. It’s got just the right amount of cinnamon to add interest and flavor to the peaches, it’s wonderfully sweet, and reminiscent of caramel sauce. It forms underneath the juicy peaches and you’ll want to drink it.

How to Make Peach Cobbler with Fresh Peaches
This recipe has an easy, stir-together dough and there are no eggs, oil, or butter. Just flour, sugar, milk, cinnamon, and peaches. Super basic, easy, and the perfect way to use summer fresh peaches.
Baking Pan Tips
I made the recipe in an 8×8-inch pan and used 4 medium/large peaches, a solid 4 cups. I literally had no space at the top of my pan and an overflow could have easily happened. Just swap in peaches for the mangos and no other changes needed. Many readers have told me they already do this and love it! So I suggest using a 9×9-inch pan if you’re using 4 full cups of peaches like I did. If you’re using 3-ish cups, you can get away with an 8×8-inch pan. With a 9-inch pan, you’ll probably be able to decrease baking time by about 5 minutes. However, baking times are just approximate here since no two peaches are exactly the same size or have the same juiciness level. Bake until the edges are bubbly and the center is set. Serve with a sprig of mint and a splash of cream, whipped cream, whipped topping, or ice cream for maximum decadence!
Can Frozen Peaches Be Used?
I recommend using fresh peaches, not frozen. If using frozen, I imagine you’d need to let them thaw completely and then drain any excess liquid.
Can I Use Canned Peachs?
Yes you can. Obviously the flavor isn’t the same but the recipe will work. I suggest using a 15-ounce can of peaches, in juice (not syrup), and drained well.
Does Peach Cobbler Need to Be Refrigerated?
No, since the cinnamon peach cobbler is baked it’s safe to keep at room temperature for up to five days. Store in an airtight container or cover tightly with foil.
Tips for Making Fresh Peach Cobbler
You could probably mix-and-match the peaches with other stone fruits like nectarines or plums. You’re likely fine to double this recipe and bake it in a 9×13-inch pan. You can easily make this easy peach cobbler with fresh peaches dairy-free by using a non-dairy milk in the dough (I used cashew milk) and a butter alternative in the sauce
