In a sunny, cheerful video from Laura in the Kitchen, Laura shares her favourite way to finish summer: a classic peach cobbler that feels like a warm hug. This post captures her method and tips so home cooks can reproduce the same flaky, spongy result. If readers love simple, satisfying desserts, this is one of those cooking, easy recipes that delivers big on fruit flavor with minimal fuss.
Why this peach cobbler stands out
Laura prefers a cake-style cobbler over a crisp, and the reason is simple: it soaks up peach juices and becomes softly spongy while the fruit sings. A quick pre-cook of the peaches with just sugar, cinnamon, and lemon brightens their flavor and creates the syrup that makes the batter rise around the fruit. This approach is exactly why this recipe is a go-to among her collection of cooking, easy recipes.
Ingredients at a glance
- Fresh peaches – peeled and sliced in thick wedges
- Sugar – for macerating the peaches and sweetening the batter
- Pinch of cinnamon – adds warm depth
- Lemon juice – brightens the peach flavor
- Simple batter – flour, sugar, egg, milk, a splash of vanilla
- Butter – a stick, melted in the baking pan
- Optional – a handful of blackberries or other berries to stretch summer fruit
Step-by-step: the easy method
- Peel the peaches: place peaches in the freezer for 30 minutes, then let them sit 5 minutes at room temperature — the skins slip off easily.
- Slice: cut peaches into thick wedges; avoid cutting them too thin so they hold texture after baking.
- Quick cook: toss sliced peaches in a small skillet with sugar, a pinch of cinnamon, and a little lemon juice. Cook just until slightly softened and syrupy.
- Prepare the batter: combine flour, sugar, an egg, milk, and vanilla to make a simple batter (no creaming required).
- Assemble: melt the stick of butter in the baking pan, pour the batter over the melted butter (do not stir), then spoon the peaches and all their juices over the batter. Add blackberries if desired.
- Bake: place the pan in a hot oven until golden brown and set. The batter will puff and bake into a spongy cake around the fruit.
The freezer does all the work for you — you don't have to worry about a water bath or any of that, and it's so easy.
Tips and tricks for success
- Peel with the freezer: a brief freezer chill then a short rest makes peeling peaches effortless.
- Keep slices thick: thicker slices maintain a pleasing bite and won't disintegrate during baking.
- Don't skimp on juices: spoon every drop of peach syrup into the batter — it creates that magical texture.
- Mix-ins: a handful of fresh blackberries adds color and a tart counterpoint to the sweet peaches.
- Serve warm: best with a scoop of good-quality vanilla ice cream to elevate this simple dessert.
This recipe is a standout among cooking, easy recipes because it takes humble ingredients and turns them into something celebratory without complicated steps. Home cooks will love how the batter and fruit become one irresistible, spongy dessert.
