Peach Pecan Cobbler is 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 overthink it. Your first thought when pouring hot water over the batter is “this will never work”. It does, trust me. I know it doesn’t seem correct to pour hot water over batter, but it cooks wonderfully and makes the best sauce ever.

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.
Serve the Peach Pecan Cobbler and bubbly caramel sauce with a good quality vanilla ice cream for an easy summery treat.

I am confused on the Flour amounts. I upped the servings to 20 for a large batch, why is there a difference in the flour amounts. It says 2 1/2 AND 1 1/4 Cups AP Flour. Why not just say 3 3/4 Cups????
Am I missing something?
Thanks
It’s doubling each amount as written but not adding them together.
Can I offer a suggestion. I recommend making recipe in 3 different batches (1 batch in a separate pan) as written instead of almost tripling the recipe and cooking it all together. With that much batter, I don”t think it’ll cook correctly.
I followed recipe but my batter turn out like cake batter for crust what did I do wrong
Made this for the very first time Thanksgiving 2022 and let me tell you something it is the only peach cobbler I will ever use again. This is the best peach cobbler ever I truly recommend this recipe it is the absolute best. You will not be disappointing I promise.
Thank you so much!!
Can you use milk instead of water
I am making this right now at 10:00 o’clock at night ( my best baking time ) for my daughter and granddaughter . They are coming to decorate my Christmas tree tomorrow. I used frozen peaches but I thawed them out . I hope they turn out ok. Love this recipe and Thankyou for sharing .
