Why You’ll Love This Recipe
What I enjoy most about this peach cobbler is its simplicity and the comforting combination of cinnamon and nutmeg that infuse the batter. The Bisquick mix creates a tender crust that bakes up golden and slightly crispy on top while staying soft beneath. The sweet, juicy peaches meld perfectly with the spices, making every bite a warm, satisfying treat. Adding vanilla ice cream on top is my favorite way to elevate it.
Ingredients
(Herе’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
1 can sliced peaches, drained
1 cup Bisquick mix
1 cup milk
½ teaspoon nutmeg
½ teaspoon cinnamon
½ cup melted butter
1 cup sugar
Vanilla ice cream (optional)
Directions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In an 8×8-inch baking dish, mix the Bisquick, milk, nutmeg, and cinnamon until smooth. Stir in the melted butter.
In a separate bowl, toss the drained peaches with sugar until evenly coated.
Pour the peach mixture gently over the batter in the baking dish—don’t stir.
Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until the top is golden brown and the cobbler is bubbly.
Serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream.
Servings and Timing
This recipe serves about 6 people. Preparation takes about 10 minutes, and baking requires 45 to 60 minutes.
Variations
I sometimes add a splash of vanilla extract to the batter for extra aroma. For a crunchier topping, sprinkling some chopped pecans or walnuts on top before baking adds a nice texture. Using fresh or frozen peaches (thawed) works well too, especially when peaches are in season. For a more decadent twist, I like to swirl in some cream cheese or add a dash of almond extract.
Storage/Reheating
Leftover cobbler stores in the refrigerator for up to 3 days in an airtight container. I reheat individual portions in the microwave or warm the whole dish in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes. It tastes just as good warmed, especially with a scoop of ice cream.
FAQs
Can I use fresh peaches instead of canned?
Yes, fresh or frozen peaches work great. Adjust sugar slightly if your peaches are very sweet or tart.
What if I don’t have Bisquick mix?
You can make a simple substitute with all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt, but Bisquick adds convenience and consistent results.
Can I make this cobbler dairy-free?
Yes, substitute the milk and butter with plant-based alternatives like almond milk and vegan butter.
How do I prevent the cobbler from burning on top?
If the top browns too quickly, tent the dish loosely with foil halfway through baking.
Can I prepare this dessert ahead of time?
You can assemble the cobbler and refrigerate it for a few hours before baking, but baking immediately yields the best texture.
Conclusion
I find Old Oven Peach Cobbler to be a timeless dessert that’s both easy to make and deeply satisfying. Its sweet peaches, warm spices, and tender crust combine for a comforting dish that feels like a hug on a plate. Whether enjoyed solo or with vanilla ice cream, it’s a recipe I always return to when I want a simple, classic treat.
