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 easy Peach Cobbler recipe. WHEW! Just add in 1 teaspoon baking powder per 1 cup flour. Easy peasy, right?
When are peaches in season?
Most peaches are harvested between May and August, which is why this dessert is typically a summer recipe. But by making this peach cobbler with canned peaches, you can make it any time of year!
If you prefer to use fresh peaches, that’s totally fine! Just use about 6 peaches, sliced, or approximately 4 cups sliced peaches.

Great point!! I’m so happy you love it!
I haven’t made this yet, however, I see one cup of milk and 1/4 cup syrup from the peaches. Not seeing how you got 2 cups of liquid. I have made a similar recipe and it is so good.
I have been making this since I was a teenager back in the 70s and it was and old recipe back then. It is the best and easiest cobbler there is. You can use this recipe also with berries, pears, almost any fruit just make sure you have enough syrup for your cobbler so it wont be dry.
The recipe calls for 1/4 cup liquid and that would be from both cans of peaches (if halving 1/8 cup liquid) so seems those with fails added too much syrup?
Amazing!
Aww, yay! That’s for sharing, Trudy!
I can’t believe how easy and delicious this peach cobbler is it was a sensation with my friends. One said she didn’t care for each cobbler before but went back for seconds.
I had the same issue too, very liquid and didn’t set at all, even after extra cooking.
This recipe definitely needs self-rising I’m afraid.
Can you use AP Flour instead of self rising flour?
My family LOVES this cobbler!!!!! It’s so easy to make.
Will change rating after it’s done b/c I”m in progress now… but what do we do with the salt? The recipe calls for “1/8 teaspoon sea salt” but doesn’t say where to add it. Thanks!
So when do you use the sea salt?
So great to hear. Thanks, Ashley!
So yum! I made this for a family gathering and EVERYONE loved it! They thought I bought it at a store so I got extra brownie points when I told them I made it from scratch. I loved that it wasn’t too sweet and the crust had the perfect amount of chewiness.
It’s so delicious!
This is the peach cobbler recipe my Momma made. I still make to this day!
Glad you made it work with half the ingredients. Thanks for sharing your experience!
My hubby and I obly had one can of peaches so I halved the recipe and baked it in a small but deep dish. It was amazing! We loved the consistency of the cobbler and my hub is asking when can we make this again! Thanks for a simple winning comfort food dessert!
Thanks Karen! I love that name :)
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!!!
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.
This peach crunch recipe is terrible! The flour mixture never really cooked.
No more received from the rookie!
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.
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 :(
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.
YAY!
Smells like home ! Thank you so very much !
Hope you and the fam love it!!! <3
all about what works!! Thanks Danielle ;)
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!
If using fresh peaches, what would you use to substitute the 1 cup of peach syrup needed? thanks!! great website!
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.
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!
