This easy southern dessert recipe is a summer classic! I like to make cobblers in a big iron skillet but you can also bake this in a 11x7-inch baking pan.

❤️ Why you'll love it

  • Stir and bake! No need for mixers or other equipment.
  • The caramelized fresh peaches and blueberries pair perfectly with the tender, cake-like topping.
  • Quick and easy to throw together and you can use fresh or frozen fruit.

Whether you have a sweet tooth or you're more of a sugar skeptic, this flavorful cobbler is sure to become one of your favorite recipes.

🧾 Ingredients

This is an overview of the ingredients. You'll find the full measurements and instructions in the green recipe card (printable) at the bottom of the page.

Labeled ingredients for blueberry peach cobbler.

📖 Variations

  • Have pie dough to use up? Though it's technically not a cobbler once you do so, you can line your skillet with the pie crust dough. (Shh, your secret is safe with me!) Then, add the fruit filling inside. Bake according to the temperature indicated on the pie crust recipe for 35-45 minutes, watching to make sure the crust doesn't over-brown.
  • Try substituting a cup of the fresh blueberries for another fresh summer fruit, like raspberries, blackberries, or strawberries.
  • If you're out of regular sugar, you can use brown sugar instead.
  • The best way to enjoy this blueberry peach cobbler is with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. However, it's also fabulous with a light whipped cream.
  • Run out of nutmeg? Add a pinch of cinnamon instead. It won't taste exactly the same, but it will still be delicious.

🔪 Instructions

This is an overview of the instructions. Full instructions are in the green recipe card at the bottom of the page.

Step by step images showing the process for making this recipe.
  1. In a large bowl, mix the fresh fruit and sugar.
  2. Melt cold butter in a baking dish or a 10-inch cast-iron skillet.
  3. Combine the cobbler batter in a medium bowl and pour it carefully over the melted butter.
  4. Spoon the fruit mixture and juice over the flour mixture and bake.

🥫 Storage

This old fashioned peach blueberry cobbler recipe is a winner! We never have leftovers!

However, if you do, you can store the cobbler covered in an airtight container or covered with plastic wrap in the refrigerator. Leftovers will keep for about three days.

To reheat this easy dessert, simply pop a serving into a microwave-safe dish and warm to your preference.

This does freeze pretty well for up to 3 months.

💭 Things to know

Expert Tip: Whatever you do, don't stir the cobbler batter after pouring it over the melted butter.

  • Don't strain the fruit juice from the peaches and blueberries. During the baking process, the natural sugars in the juice will caramelize around the edges—so tasty! Plus, the natural sugar helps thicken the cobbler filling to gooey, warm perfection.
  • If you're using a regular baking dish, you'll need to melt the butter in a small bowl and pour it into the dish. If you choose to use a skillet, you can place it in the oven to melt the butter.

👩‍🍳 FAQs

Can I freeze the leftover blueberry peach cobbler?

Freezing and thawing cobbler tends to make the dough soggy, so I don't recommend it.

Help! How do I use frozen fruit in this recipe?

To use frozen peaches, let them thaw in a strainer (over a bowl) in the refrigerator. However, throw the berries into the mix frozen. Otherwise, they tend to fall apart after thawing.

Can I use canned peaches instead of fresh ones?

Yes, you can! Drain the peaches from the excess juice before using them as indicated in the recipe. However, fresh peaches do taste best.

Do I need to remove the peach skins before using them in the cobbler?

This answer is entirely up to you. The skins soften during baking, so most don't even realize they are there. (Plus, they're full of good antioxidants and fiber!) However, if you'd like, you can peel the peaches before mixing them into the recipe.

🍽️ Serve with...

Honestly, if it's a fruit cobbler it's almost a requirement that you serve ice cream with it. Vanilla ice cream is traditional but I honestly prefer this cinnamon gelato!
