This super easy Southern style homemade peach cobbler is made using ripe, juicy yellow peaches but you may substitute the fresh peaches with canned peaches as well if you do not have fresh peaches.
Peach cobbler is one of the most popular American Southern desserts and it is so delicious and yummy! Out of all cobblers I love peach cobbler the best, but I also love strawberry cobbler, strawberry peach cobbler, apple cobbler, easy blueberry cobbler etc as well! In fact, cobblers are one of the best desserts ever in my opinion, especially peach cobblers which is the perfect dessert to serve after dinner or anytime!
Cobblers have a delicious fruit filling and a crust and the crust can be made soft & cake like or biscuit like in texture. The biscuit like topping is more traditional and popular in cobblers, but for some reason I love the soft, cake like crust more which goes great with the juicy fruits like peaches.

Being able to make this cobbler with fresh or canned peaches, you can make it throughout the year, all through out summer, fall or even for holidays like Thanksgiving or Christmas when you have fresh or canned peaches at home. If you have lots of fresh leftover peaches during summer season, you may even freeze some of the ripe peaches and use frozen peaches in recipes like this easy peach cobbler.
So you can easily enjoy homemade juicy peach cobbler throughout the year irrespective of the season and you do not need to worry if fresh peaches are available. If using fresh peaches, you can use the peeled, sliced fruits directly in the recipe. If using frozen peaches, it is a good idea to thaw the peaches first and remove any extra moisture content before using them to make the peach cobbler.
Also, if you are using canned peaches to make the cobbler, you should discard any extra water and remove any extra moisture content from the peaches before using in the recipe. This is to avoid the crust of the cobbler getting soggy while baking. So here is how you can make easy, delicious, juicy peach cobbler from scratch at home.

How to store homemade easy, fresh peach cobbler?
If you are using fresh peaches to make this peach cobbler, you can store this in the refrigerator for about a week's time where it will stay fresh. If you are using canned or frozen peaches, you might want to use it immediately or you may store for another couple of days in refrigerator if stored properly. I usually store them for a week long only when I make them with fresh peaches.
Can you substitute self rising flour with all purpose in this easy cobbler recipe?
You can make this easy peach cobbler without self rising flour too. Using self rising flour makes the process more easier, but if you do not have self rising flour, you can use ¾ cup of all purpose flour & one teaspoon baking powder to substitute ¾ cup self rising flour. Make sure to mix the all purpose flour and baking powder very well so that they are evenly blended.
