This peach cobbler totally rocks….it’s super easy and bakes up wonderfully in ramekins, and if doubled, just as well in a 9 X 13 dish. Butter and brown sugary batter combined with fresh peaches makes for the perfect summer dessert.
I used 8-ounce ramekins here, but 7-ounce or 9-ounce ramekins certainly would work also. I think ramekins are such an elegant way for guests to enjoy their individual servings of this peach cobbler. You can find inexpensive ramekins here and here.
Just be sure there’s enough room in the ramekin to later add vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt! This peach cobbler begs for ice cream, but it’s also excellent by itself, either cold or at room temperature.
This peach cobbler recipe will make six ramekins. Place the ramekins in a pan for easy movement in and out of the oven and to catch any possible spills.
Let the peach cobbler cool for a few minutes. I think it’s as good or even better when served the next day!
If you wish, double the recipe and bake in a 9 X 13 pan, and add 5 minutes to the bake time. The first time I made this peach cobbler was as pictured in the rectangular dish. Both versions have awesome taste and texture.
Gorgeous!
Here’s the recipe:
- For the 1st layer:
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
- For the batter:
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup plus 2 Tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 and ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ⅛ teaspoon cinnamon
- dash of salt
- ½ cup milk
- For the peach filling:
- 2 cups peaches (about 2 peaches), cut up. Peel if you wish, but I don't peel them.
- 1 to 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- ¼ cup plus 2 Tablespoons white table sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F
- Combine cut up peaches with lemon juice, white table sugar, and vanilla and set aside.
- Divide the 5 tablespoons of butter evenly between the 6 ramekins
- Place ramekins in baking pan, and then place in oven just until butter is melted, being careful that butter does not burn, about 4 minutes
- Meanwhile, combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Add milk and stir just until dry ingredients are incorporated. Do not over stir.
- Pull ramekins out of oven.
- Evenly add batter on top of melted butter. Do not stir.
- Evenly add peaches over batter. Do not stir.
- Return ramekins to oven and bake at 375 degrees for five minutes. Reduce heat to 325 degrees and bake until golden brown and batter begins to pull away from edges, about 30 to 35 minutes.
- Cool at least 15 minutes before serving.
- Optional: serve warmed and topped with ice cream or frozen yogurt
- If desired, double the recipe and bake in 9 X 13 dish, adding about 5 minutes to bake time.
Enjoy!

I froze peaches in the summer in sandwich bags. Will these work in this recipe, which sounds delicious, and should they be thawed first if so ?
I would want to thaw the peaches at least partially. When using frozen berries for a baking recipe, I don’t bother thawing, but bigger pieces of fruit might not get cooked through as well if not thawed first. Hope that helps, and enjoy! –G
Can I use canned peaches? If so would I eliminate anything?
Yes, I certainly think you could use canned peaches. If they’re sweetened, you might need to reduce the sugar some! –G
I just want to make sure I am reading this correctly. No batter goes on top of the peach filling?
Yes, you read it correctly. Do not stir. The batter will bake up to cover most of the peaches. I bet you’ll love this recipe! –G
Thanks for your Peach Cobbler Recipe. When I was a single parent for 16 years, I had always put Jiffy Mix and cinnamon on top of peaches and called it a dessert. Many thanks for the individual servings idea. In my case, being a man who maybe did not have the kitchen chops, tried and failed to make the best out of our situation but I did try. Bested here for certain.
If a parent, single or not, truly tried to make the best out of a situation for his or her kids, then I’m not so sure they could actually “fail” completely, because at least they had the courage to try, and what better lesson can a parent teach his or her kids? I think it’s great for kids to see their parents trying, experimenting, failing, and then picking themselves up and trying again. Cooking and and creating recipes are a wonderful way to convey this lesson to kids. Thank you so much for taking the time to comment, and best wishes for the New Year! -G
