Ingredients Notes
What makes this cobbler so delightful is its simple list of ingredients that you likely already have on hand. Every element works together to highlight the natural sweetness and tartness of the fruit.
Peaches are the star of this show. You can use fresh, ripe peaches when they’re in season (no need to peel them!), or frozen sliced peaches if you want to save time. Their soft, juicy texture and natural sweetness are perfect for cobblers.
Raspberries add a punch of brightness and a little tang to balance the sweet peaches. Fresh or frozen raspberries both work well. Just be gentle when stirring so they don’t completely break down before baking.
The cobbler topping is a simple mixture of flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, milk, and melted butter. It's more cake-like than biscuit-style, giving you a soft, spongy top that soaks up those fruity juices beautifully.
A touch of cinnamon or vanilla extract can add warmth and depth to the flavor, though it’s totally optional. I love tossing a dash of cinnamon into the fruit mixture—it brings out the peaches’ natural flavor.
You’ll just need a 9x13 baking dish or deep pie dish for this cobbler. No mixer or fancy equipment required—just a couple of bowls and a whisk will do.
How To Make This Easy Peach and Raspberry Cobbler
Making this cobbler is as breezy as a summer afternoon. You’ll be amazed at how quickly it comes together.
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F and greasing your baking dish. If you're using frozen fruit, let it thaw slightly so it doesn’t bring down the oven temperature too much.
In your baking dish, combine the sliced peaches and raspberries. Sprinkle them with a bit of sugar and cinnamon (if using), and toss gently to coat. This step helps draw out the fruit’s natural juices and creates that syrupy goodness you expect from a cobbler.
Now it’s time to make the batter. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Then pour in the milk and melted butter, stirring just until a smooth batter forms—don’t overmix!
Pour the batter evenly over the fruit mixture. It may look like it won’t cover everything, but trust the process—during baking, the batter will rise and envelop the fruit in golden, cake-like deliciousness.
Slide your dish into the oven and bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. You’ll know it’s done when your kitchen smells like buttery, fruity heaven.
Once baked, let the cobbler cool for about 10–15 minutes. This resting time helps the juices thicken slightly and makes it easier to serve.
Total time from start to finish? Just under an hour, most of it hands-off—leaving you free to whip up some whipped cream or set the table while your cobbler works its magic in the oven.
Storage Options
This cobbler is just as tasty the next day—if there’s any left!
To store, let the cobbler cool completely, then cover the dish tightly with foil or transfer leftovers to an airtight container. It will keep in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
If you'd like to freeze it, wrap it well with plastic wrap and foil, or use a freezer-safe container. It will keep in the freezer for up to 2 months. When ready to enjoy, let it thaw in the fridge overnight.
For reheating, pop individual portions in the microwave for about 30–45 seconds. Or, reheat the whole dish in a 300°F oven for 10–15 minutes, until warmed through. It’s especially dreamy when served warm with ice cream or whipped cream.
Variations and Substitutions
The beauty of this recipe lies in its adaptability. There are so many fun ways to switch it up depending on what you have in the pantry.
You can swap the peaches for nectarines, plums, or apples. Try mixing different fruits like blueberries, blackberries, or even cherries to create your own custom cobbler.
If you’re short on raspberries, double up on the peaches or use strawberries instead. The result will still be delicious and full of vibrant flavor.
Want to make it dairy-free? Use a plant-based milk (like almond or oat) and substitute the butter with vegan margarine or coconut oil. The topping will still bake up beautifully.
To cut back on sugar, you can reduce the amount used in both the fruit and the batter. The natural sweetness of the fruit usually shines through just fine.
Feel free to add spices like nutmeg or ginger to the fruit mixture, or a splash of almond extract to the batter for a fun twist.
There’s no wrong way to cobble together this dessert—so go ahead and make it your own!
