Ingredients Notes

The magic of this easy peach and raspberry cobbler lies in its fresh, vibrant ingredients paired with a simple yet perfect batter.

The peaches are the undeniable star of this cobbler. Fresh, ripe peaches provide the best flavor, delivering juicy sweetness with every bite. If fresh peaches aren’t available, frozen or even canned peaches (drained well) can be used with great results. Just be sure to adjust the sugar slightly depending on how sweet your fruit is.

The raspberries add a delightful tartness that balances the sweetness of the peaches. Fresh raspberries are ideal, but frozen raspberries work just as well. There’s no need to thaw them—just toss them right into the mix. Their bright pop of flavor and color make the cobbler extra special.

The batter is wonderfully straightforward. A combination of all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt forms the dry base. This mixture gets moistened with milk and enriched with melted butter, creating a tender, golden topping as it bakes.

For a hint of warm spice, a touch of ground cinnamon can be sprinkled over the fruit before adding the batter. This simple addition enhances the fruit’s natural sweetness and gives the cobbler a cozy, comforting aroma.

You won’t need any special equipment for this recipe. A standard 9x13-inch baking dish, a couple of mixing bowls, and a wooden spoon or spatula are all you need to bring this delicious dessert to life.

How To Make This Easy Peach and Raspberry Cobbler

Creating this luscious cobbler is surprisingly easy, and I’ll walk you through every step to ensure perfect results.

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). While the oven heats up, generously grease your baking dish with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking and ensure easy serving later.

In a large bowl, gently combine your sliced peaches and raspberries. If your peaches are especially juicy, you can toss the fruit with a tablespoon of flour to help thicken the filling as it bakes. Sprinkle a bit of sugar over the fruit if desired, especially if your fruit is a little tart.

Next, in a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add in the milk while stirring continuously, followed by the melted butter. The batter will be smooth and pourable, with a slightly thick consistency.

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish. Don’t worry about spreading it perfectly flat—the batter will naturally level out as it bakes. Carefully spoon the fruit mixture over the batter, distributing it evenly across the surface. The batter will rise up around the fruit as it cooks, creating that signature cobbler texture.

Slide the baking dish into your preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when the top is golden brown, and the fruit filling is bubbling up around the edges. If you're unsure, insert a toothpick into the center of the topping—it should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.

Let the cobbler cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to thicken slightly, making for cleaner servings and even better flavor.

Storage Options

One of the best things about this peach and raspberry cobbler is how well it stores, making it perfect for leftovers or make-ahead desserts.

If you have any leftovers, allow the cobbler to cool completely. Transfer it into an airtight container or cover the baking dish tightly with plastic wrap. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days without losing its delightful texture.

For longer storage, this cobbler freezes quite well. Once cooled, portion it into individual servings and place them in freezer-safe containers or heavy-duty freezer bags. The cobbler can be frozen for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to enjoy, thaw it overnight in the refrigerator.

Reheating is a breeze. Simply warm individual servings in the microwave for about 30-60 seconds. Alternatively, reheat larger portions in a 300°F oven for 15-20 minutes until heated through and slightly crisp on top.

Variations and Substitutions

The beauty of this cobbler lies in its flexibility, allowing you to tailor it to your taste or pantry contents.

For a different fruit combination, try substituting the raspberries with blueberries, blackberries, or even cherries. Each brings its own unique flavor profile while still pairing wonderfully with peaches.

If you prefer a slightly richer topping, replace part of the milk with buttermilk. This adds a subtle tang and creates an extra tender crumb in the batter.

Those who enjoy a bit of crunch might want to sprinkle some sliced almonds or coarse sugar on top of the batter before baking. This simple addition adds both texture and visual appeal.

For a gluten-free option, swap the all-purpose flour for your favorite gluten-free baking blend. Make sure the blend includes xanthan gum or a similar binding agent for the best results.

Don’t be afraid to experiment with spices. A pinch of nutmeg or cardamom can add unexpected warmth and depth to the cobbler, complementing the fruit beautifully.

With so many possibilities, this Easy Peach and Raspberry Cobbler is a dessert you’ll find yourself returning to all year round. Have fun experimenting and enjoy every delicious bite!
