Peach Pecan Cobbler, a sweet and buttery dessert recipe that’s loaded with fresh peaches and toasted pecans. This simple and easy dessert comes together in one pan.
I modeled this easy dessert recipe after my very popular Pecan Cobbler and Caramel Cobbler recipes.
They are popular not only because they’re so delicious, but because they’re so very simple to make. First, the ingredients are items that you probably already have on hand with the exception of the peaches. I love to use fresh peaches, but frozen or canned will also work. Secondly, there are not very many ingredients which I always like! And finally, it’s not only what’s in the dessert, but how you put it together.
The secret is layering the ingredients. It really is as simple as layering the ingredients. Don’t alter or change the order, layer the ingredients exactly as I have listed in the instructions below.
The one thing to remember when making this dessert is, don’t over think it. Your first thought when pouring hot water over the batter is “this will never work”. It does, trust me. I know it’s crazy to pour hot water over batter, but it cooks wonderfully and makes the best sauce ever.
Serve the Peach Pecan Cobbler and bubbly caramel sauce with a good quality vanilla ice cream for an easy summery treat.

Peach Pecan Cobbler Tips
- Substitute 1 and 1/2 cups self-rising flour for the all-purpose flour. Omit the baking powder and salt.
- I don’t recommend changing the size of the pan. It needs to be thin to cook crisp. Otherwise, the batter with be ‘doughy’.
- You can substitute any fruit for the peaches.
- You can use sliced fresh, canned or frozen peaches. If using canned peaches, I would drain them.

i was pretty dubious about the “pour the hot water on top part,” but it worked like magic. I’ll never know how you thought of that, but thanks so much for sharing this recipe.
