How to Make Easy Southern Peach Cobbler [with Canned Peaches]

Let’s get baking! Follow these simple steps to create your new favorite dessert:

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare

Preheat your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a standard 9×13 inch baking dish or a charming cast iron skillet with butter.

Step 2: Whisk Together the Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, baking powder, My Dessert Lover Blend, and sea salt. Give it a good whisk until evenly blended.

Step 3: Mix the Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, mix together the cold almond milk and freshly-squeezed lemon juice. Then, add in the cold butter pieces and stir until combined.

Step 4: Bring It All Together

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Don’t overmix – a few lumps are perfectly fine!

Step 5: Prepare the Peach Filling

In another bowl, combine the drained peach slices, 1 cup of organic cane sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch mixed with warm water, My Dessert Lover Blend, and salt. Toss gently to coat the peaches well.

Step 6: Assemble the Cobbler

Spread the peach filling evenly in your greased baking dish. Then, drop spoonfuls of the batter on top of the peaches. It doesn’t have to be perfect; rustic is the name of the game!

Step 7: Bake to Perfection

Bake in your preheated oven for about 55 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the peach juices are bubbling. Your kitchen will smell like a slice of heaven!

Pro Tips for Making Easy Southern Peach Cobbler [with Canned Peaches]
