substitutions
Peaches: You can use fresh or frozen peaches. You can also used canned peach pie filling in place of making it from scratch.
Brown Sugar: You can substitute brown sugar in place of white sugar. Feel free to add 1 teaspoon of molasses to give it more flavor.
Butter: Butter is essential to this recipe. We haven't tried it with dairy free butter.
Cinnamon: Feel free to add ground ginger or nutmeg to the spices.
Vanilla Extract: If you don't have vanilla extract you can skip it, it will be less flavorful but still delicious!
Sugar: White sugar is essential for the crumble topping.
How to make Quick and Easy Peach Cobbler

Small Peach Cobbler recipe tips
- Try Fruit: You can always add in other fruits with the peaches. Cherries, apples, blueberries, and blackberries are all great choices. You can also try this Mixed Berry Cobbler!
- Use canned peach pie filling: If you don't want to make it from scratch, you can use canned peach pie filling!
- Use canned biscuits: If you’re in a pinch and need to be quick, slice up canned biscuits as your topping. It tastes delicious and nobody will know the difference.
- My peach cobbler is runny - If it’s runny, then the filling was too runny before you began. Be sure your filling is nice and thick so it sets up appropriately before you start the baking process.
- Don’t overfill the dish - We don't recommend doubling this recipe/using a smaller dish because it can easily bubble over!

Peach Cobbler for Two FAQs
Peach pie is baked in a pie crust while cobbler is topped with a buttery cobbler topping.
The cornstarch in this recipe helps to thicken the peach cobbler filling.
If your peach cobbler isn’t crispy, it likely needs to bake for a little bit longer! You can pop it back into the oven for 5-10 minutes until the top gets golden brown.
You should always use ripe peaches for cobbler. Unripe peaches will give you a bitter dessert that is no where near as tasty!

Do I have to peel my peaches for this?
The Clean Eating Couple
I prefer them peeled. If you would rather leave the peels on, you can though!
Roben
Thanks for this super easy recipe. I did add a bit of water to the peach filling though. I guess my fresh peaches weren’t juicy enough.
Gretchen Tighe
I’m making this now. The instructions call for salt to go into sauté pan phase but salt isn’t mentioned in list of ingredients for filling, only for cobbler topping. How much salt goes in the filling? Thanks!
The Clean Eating Couple
Thank you for catching that! I just added it to the recipe card. It's a 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Kate
Looks delicious. Salt is listed in directions, but not under filling ingredients. 1/8 t???
