Is there a difference between Self-Rising Flour and All Purpose Flour?
Yes! Self-Rising Flour already has a leavening agent, such as baking powder, added in. It works great with this Easy Recipe because it takes one measurement out of the equation for you. For those of us that are new to baking, that’s an awesome thing!
Self Rising Flour is a MUST in this recipe or it will not bake up correctly. See below for substitutions.
Are there substitutions for Self-Rising Flour?
If you don’t have Self-Rising Flour, rest assured you can still make this Peach Cobbler. WHEW! Just add in 1 teaspoon baking powder per 1 cup flour. Easy peasy, right?
When are peaches in season? Can I use fresh peaches in this Easy Peach Cobbler Recipe?
Most peaches are harvested between May and August, making this Peach Cobbler Recipe the ULTIMATE Summer treat. Lucky for us, this Peach Cobbler is made with canned peaches, so we can make it year round. If you prefer to use fresh peaches, that’s totally fine! Just use about 6 peaches, sliced, or approximately 4 cups sliced peaches. xoxo

- Spoon peaches over the batter.

NOTE: The batter will be very thin. That's okay! It will bake up around the peaches and create a bubbly, caramelized cobbler!
NOTE: You must use self-rising flour in this recipe. I've discussed substitutions in the post above. The batter won't bake up otherwise.
NOTE: This version of Peach Cobbler might be a bit less firm than some you're used to. This is an EASY Peach Cobbler and is delicious served warm topped with vanilla ice cream.

Looks so good! Adding it to my "to make list". Crossing my fingers my picky kids like it or I could eat the whole thing myself!Becky Hardin
Hope you and the fam love it!!! <3Danielle
I can almost smell the peach cobbler. It's too bad we can't bottle delicious smells like this. This sounds amazing, and while I love fresh peaches, I can't ever get my hands on them so I love that you used canned here.Becky Hardin
all about what works!! Thanks Danielle ;)RS
If using fresh peaches, what would you use to substitute the 1 cup of peach syrup needed? thanks!! great website!Becky Hardin
GREAT question! I would make 1 cup simple syrup (In this case 1/2 cup sugar combined with one cup water...boiled then reduced to a simmer until it reduces down to 1 cup liquid). Thank you, enjoy!2pots2cook
Smells like home ! Thank you so very much !Becky Hardin
YAY!Karla
Hello, i made the easy peach cobbler for Easter Dinner. Sadly, it didn’t turn out so Great. I briefly woNdered how 1 cup of flour and 2 cups of liquid was going to turn into a decent batter but you said it was going to be thin. I baked it over 1.5 hours and it never did set up inTo anything but a sticky goo. I am woNdering if there is a typo in The recipe or if you have any further guidance.Becky Hardin
I'm so sorry to hear that! We made it again for Easter as well and didn't have any problems. Super sorry it didn't work :(Becky Hardin
Were you sure to use self rising flour? I just can't figure out how it could go so wrong. We have never had a problem.Liz Watkins
This peach crunch recipe is terrible! The flour mixture never really cooked. No more received from the rookie!Becky Hardin
Hey Liz, did you use self rising flour? We have never had any issue with the flour mixture cooking and have made this several times. Sorry you had trouble with one of our recipes, absolutely hate to hear that! Hope you have a good rest of your weekend.Karen D
My mom made this when I was a little girl. (her recipe was slightly different) The recipes name was "Lazy Mans Pie". It was and still is one of my favorite recipes. This recipe can be a little more softer than some cobbler recipes. It is so yummy!!!Becky Hardin
Thanks Karen! I love that name :)
