Super Easy Peach Cobbler Recipe (with Canned Pie Filling)
Super Easy Peach Cobbler Recipe
This peach cobbler has been in the family for decades — one of those simple Southern bakes that hits the table fast and disappears even faster. My mom made this for just about every family get-together, and even folks who claimed they didn’t like peaches went back for seconds. Today, we’re showing you just how easy it is to recreate this crowd-pleasing classic at home.
All you need is a handful of pantry staples, a can of peach pie filling, and a glass or metal baking dish. You’ll melt butter in the oven, pour in a simple cinnamon-vanilla batter, drop on those peaches — and that’s it. The magic happens in the oven as the batter rises around the fruit, creating golden, crisp edges and a gooey peach center that begs for a scoop of ice cream.
🧂 Ingredients
- 1 stick of butter (½ cup)
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1 cup of sugar
- 1 cup of milk
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 (15–21 oz) can of peach pie filling
🔥 Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Add 1 stick of butter to a 7x11 or 9x9 pan and place it in the oven to melt while preheating. Pull out just when melted.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, milk, cinnamon, vanilla, and baking powder until smooth.
- Pour the batter into the melted butter — do not mix. Let it settle naturally.
- Drop spoonfuls of peach pie filling across the top of the batter — again, do not stir.
- Bake at 350°F for 30–45 minutes, or until golden brown in the center and edges are browned but not burned.
- Let cool slightly, then serve warm. A scoop of vanilla ice cream puts it over the top.

🥧 Peach Cobbler Questions Ya Might Be Wonderin’ About
Can I use fresh or frozen peaches instead of canned pie filling?
Absolutely! You can use fresh or frozen peaches — just cook them down with a little sugar and cornstarch until thick and syrupy. The key is to get that same pie-filling consistency before spooning over the batter.
Can I make this cobbler ahead of time?
Sure can. Bake it, let it cool, and then reheat at 300°F for about 15–20 minutes before serving. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream to freshen it up!
Why shouldn’t I mix the batter and the filling?
That’s the secret to the cobbler magic! By not mixing, the batter rises up through the fruit while baking — giving you that golden, slightly crispy crust on top and gooey fruit underneath.
Can I use other pie fillings?
You bet. This method works great with apple, cherry, blueberry — just about any pie filling you like. Swap it in and enjoy.
What’s the best type of dish to bake this in?
A 7x11 or 9x9 pan works great. We like a glass baking dish, but a metal pan will work just as well — just keep an eye on browning near the edges.
