Old Time Oven Peach Cobbler: A Southern Classic You’ll Crave

There’s something deeply nostalgic about a warm, bubbling peach cobbler straight from the oven. Sweet, juicy peaches layered under a golden, buttery crust—this dessert is the very definition of comfort food. Our Old Time Oven Peach Cobbler is simple, rustic, and absolutely unforgettable.

This recipe brings back memories of Sunday suppers and family gatherings. It’s rich, gooey, perfectly spiced, and even better when topped with a scoop of cold vanilla  ice cream. Whether you’re making it for a potluck, a holiday, or just because, this  cobbler is always a good idea.

Why This Cobbler Stands Out

The secret to this recipe?  Butter—and plenty of it. Combined with cinnamon, nutmeg, and sweet peaches, it bakes into a crispy-edged, soft-centered masterpiece. And the best part? No complicated crusts or rolling pins required.

With just a few pantry staples like Bisquick mix, milk, and sugar, you’ll have this in the oven in minutes.

Ingredients

• 1 large can sliced peaches, drained

• 1 cup Bisquick baking mix

• 1 cup milk

• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

• 1/2 cup butter, melted

• 1 cup granulated sugar

• Vanilla ice cream (optional, but highly recommended!)

Preparation Instructions

1. Preheat & Prep

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Mix the Batter

In an 8×8 baking dish, combine:

• 1 cup Bisquick mix

• 1 cup milk

• 1/2 tsp nutmeg

• 1/2 tsp cinnamon

• Melted butter

Stir until well blended right in the baking dish.

3. Add the Fruit

In a separate bowl, mix the drained peaches with 1 cup of sugar.
Spoon the peach mixture evenly over the batter in the baking dish. Do not stir. The batter will rise up around the fruit as it bakes.

4. Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 45–60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.

5. Serve & Enjoy

Serve warm with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
Enjoy the gooey, buttery magic of this old-fashioned favorite!

Tips & Variations

• Want a crispier top? Sprinkle a little extra sugar on the batter before baking.

• Add a splash of vanilla extract or a dash of ginger for a twist on the flavor.

• Prefer fresh fruit? Use 4 cups of fresh sliced peaches and increase sugar to 1¼ cups.

 Final Thoughts

This Old Time Oven Peach Cobbler is more than just dessert—it’s a taste of tradition. Whether served at a holiday table or on a quiet evening at home, it’s guaranteed to bring smiles, warmth, and second helpings.
