This frozen peach cobbler is sweet and simple and easy to throw together. You use frozen peaches right from the freezer so you always have time to make this beauty. Inspired by Joanne Fluke’s book Peach Cobbler Murder.
I will happily eat fruit-based dessert all year long.
While there is nothing more delicious than a fresh summer peach I can’t go months without one of my favorite desserts – peach cobbler.
This frozen peach cobbler recipe gives you all the flavor of summer but uses simple store-bought frozen sliced peaches. It’s the perfect compromise!
You don’t even need to thaw the peaches! That’s how easy this recipe is to make!
It’s sweet, perfectly spiced, and pairs perfectly with ice cream or whipped cream.
The thing I love most about this recipe is that I can make it all year round!
What is a peach cobbler?
Peach cobbler is a dessert dish that is made with peaches (but can also be made with several other different fruits) and topped with a batter or biscuit-like dough before cooking.
After it has cooked the topping is soft like a cake or biscuit and pairs perfectly with the warm soft fruit.
In the south, fruit cobblers are very popular and they are often eaten warm or room temperature with ice cream or whipped cream.
Do I need to thaw my peaches?
Nope!
This recipe is made to use your peaches fresh from the freezer.
This is what makes the recipe so easy to make. No need to defrost.
Or if you’re like me, no need to REMEMBER to defrost.
Can I substitute other frozen fruit?
Yes!
The recipe should remain pretty much the same.
Anytime you’re changing a tested recipe you’ll want to keep an eye on the cooking time to make sure your fruit won’t need a little extra time to cook.
Great substitution would be blueberries, strawberries, mango, or even a fun tropical blend.
Can I use fresh peaches in this recipe?
If you’re using fresh peaches no changes need to be made.
Simply follow the directions as written except you’ll be using your fresh sliced peaches.
You can feel free to peel your peaches if desired but I have made many cobblers and crisps by leaving the peach skin on. I happen to like it a lot and it cuts down on prep time.
Check out my ginger peach crisp to see a delicious peach dessert that I opted to leave the skin on.
How do I store fresh peach cobbler?
You can keep peach cobbler covered, in the refrigerator, for 4-5 days.
While I personally think peach cobbler tastes great cold you can also opt to warm it up in the microwave oven for about 30 seconds.

Ingredients
For filling:
- 9 cups frozen sliced peaches
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
For topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1-1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons butter, room temperature
- 2 beaten eggs
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Spray 9x13 inch pan with nonstick spray.
For filling:
- Add the peaches to a large mixing bowl.
- In a small mixing bowl combine sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt.

I had printed your recipe a big ago and there are changes in this one. First you use 9 cups not 10 cups of peaches and no lemon juice, plus there is a lot less white sugar in this recipe. Did you make the changes on this for a reason? One last question, do you take the skin off the peaches?

@Marlene, I made some changes to the recipe a few years ago due to some feedback from my readers. Some people were having issues with the cobbler and also claimed it was too sweet.
I reworked the recipe a bit to make it a little less sweet. If you enjoy the older recipe you're welcome to keep using that. I know I have a few readers who really liked the original.
Since I'm typically using store-bought frozen peaches for this recipe they are skinned.

I made this recipe using frozen peaches. The flavor was marvelous but my “biscuit/cake” part did not cook except for the top. The rest was runny and although very hot, appeared raw after an hour and 20 minutes of baking. I put it in the microwave for 8 minutes and the cake part cooked right up but of course did not brown. Because the flavor was so nice I will try this again but defrost my peaches first.
