Bisquick Peach Cobbler Recipe

Summer wouldn’t be complete without a warm homemade Peach Cobbler with two scoops of vanilla ice cream on top. So delicious!

Homemade peach cobbler with Bisquick is fruity, decadent, and comforting.  I love serving this summery treat with Strawberry Lemonade or an icey Brandy Slush.  Or have a full menu of southern flavors with Crockpot Mississippi Pot Roast and a side of Easy Green Beans.

I have always made a few additions to the Bisquick recipe for peach cobbler to enhance all of the best things about the traditional Bisquick and fruit combination.

This easy peach cobbler recipe with canned peaches comes together in no time!  Made with a Bisquick base, topped with a layer of sugary peaches, and finished with a sprinkle of cinnamon brown sugar, this dessert is simply sweet and summery while being approachable and easy to make.

Why You’ll Love This Peach Cobbler Recipe 

• Make Any Time, Anywhere. You don’t need to live in Georgia for this peach cobbler.  I created this easy peach cobbler recipe with Bisquick after a trip to the farmers market only to find out that fresh peaches were sold out!  Using canned peaches means this recipe can be made anywhere in any season.
• Zero Peeling. The biggest positive to make a peach cobbler with canned peaches is that I didn’t have to peel the peaches, which is the hardest part when it comes to making a peach cobbler!
• Perfect Caramelized Finish. Peach cobbler with brown sugar gives just the right amount of caramelized sugar crisp to the top of this dessert that you just don’t get from using white sugar.  You’ll love these brown sugar bits with creamy vanilla ice cream!

Peach Cobbler Ingredients

This simple canned peach cobbler is made with the following ingredients:

• Peaches: I use a large (29 oz.) can of sliced peaches, drained and cut into cubes.  No peeling is needed and you can enjoy peach cobbler any time of the year!  
• Bisquick Mix: Using Bisquick mix cuts down on prep time and reduces the number of ingredients you need.  The mix is perfect for cobbler because it’s tender and sweet with a little fluff for the most perfect bites of cobbler and fruit!
• Nutmeg: Nutmeg adds a little earthy spice that’s comforting and smells so delicious when baking up this cobbler.
• Cinnamon: Cinnamon is just the right complement to peaches and adds warmth and flavor to this recipe.  Used in the cobbler batter, additional for the brown sugar topping.
• Milk: Milk gives the needed moisture to make the Bisquick mix moist and spreadable.
• Butter: Would it even be a cobbler without butter?  Melted butter mixes with the Bisquick for a decant cobbler base.
• White Sugar: Granulated white sugar sweetens up the peaches.
• Brown Sugar: Using brown sugar in the topping gives extra molasses flavor and gives the baked cobbler a little bit of caramelized crunch.
• Ice Cream: Vanilla ice cream for topping the cobbler.  Optional, but so sweet, creamy, and delicious. You’ll have to try it!

Ingredient Substitution

• Fresh or Frozen Peaches: For peach cobbler with fresh peaches, use 6-8 medium-sized peaches, peeled and sliced.  To use frozen peaches, just thaw 4 cups of peaches at room temperature and then cut them into small pieces.

How to Make Peach Cobbler with Bisquick

Brown sugar peach cobbler with Bisquick is simple and fun to mix and layer.  Here’s how to make it: 

1. Preheat. Preheat the oven to 375 F degrees. Spray an 8×8 baking pan with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
2. Slice. Drain canned peaches, and slice them into small pieces placing them into a medium-sized bowl. Set aside.
3. Mix. In a large bowl, mix Bisquick, milk, nutmeg, and cinnamon until well combined.
4. Melt. In a small microwavable bowl, microwave butter for 30 seconds or until completely melted. Add melted butter to the batter and mix until combined. Pour batter into the prepared baking pan.
5. Add. Add granulated sugar to the sliced peaches and toss until the peaches are fully coated with sugar.
6. Spoon. Add peaches to the top of the batter. 
7. Sprinkle. Sprinkle the top of the cobbler with brown sugar and cinnamon.
8. Bake. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the edges are slightly brown on top of the cobbler. Let cool for 10 minutes. 
9. Enjoy. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.

Expert Tips

• Drain the peaches well. Drain your peaches well in a colander and then pat dry with paper towels to remove additional moisture.
• Double the recipe. If you’re making cobbler for a large group or party, double this recipe and bake in a 9×13 dish instead of an 8×8 baking dish.
• Add additional cinnamon to taste.  If you like bolder cinnamon flavors, add an additional ¼ to ½ teaspoon of cinnamon to the brown sugar and sprinkle ice cream with more cinnamon before serving or try the hot cinnamon variation below.

Recipe Variations

Change things up with one of these variations:

• Pecans: For some southern peach cobbler crunch, add ½ cup of chopped pecans to the brown sugar cinnamon topping before sprinkling on top of the peaches.
• Blueberry: Add ¾ cup of fresh or frozen blueberries for colorful contrast and more fruit flavor.
• Hot Cinnamon:  Use ⅓ cup Red Hots Candy or Cinnamon Imperials for extra hot cinnamon flavor.  Sprinkle candy on top of the peaches before topping with cinnamon brown sugar.  The Red Hots add bright pops of color and a little bit of warmth.

Serving Suggestions

I always love topping warm peach cobbler with vanilla ice cream.  The warm cobbler melts the ice cream and the flavors complement each other perfectly.  I also love serving cobbler in cute small glasses, it’s such a fun way to “dress up” peach cobbler for a party and it also makes it easier to eat and enjoy.

Peach cobbler is refreshing after hot summer days and individual servings are also great for packing in picnic lunches or taking to park playdates, just leave the ice cream at home!

Storing

• Store.  Leftover cobbler can be stored covered at room temperature or in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
• Freeze. Though the cobbler is best enjoyed within the first 3-4 days after making it, you can also freeze leftovers if needed in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Note that the topping texture may disintegrate a bit after defrosting, making it a bit soggy, but the flavors will still be delicious.
• Reheat. Cobbler flavors are best when served warm.  For even warming, reheat, covered with foil, in a 350°F oven for 15-20 minutes. You can also reheat it in the microwave for 30 seconds or until warm.
