This sweet and juicy peach and blueberry cobbler is made entirely from scratch and is the perfect simple summer dessert.
If you've never made a cobbler before, there are a couple of different ways to make it. One common version has fruit on the bottom, and a biscuit topping. Other versions use a store bought yellow cake mix.
They're all great, but my very FAVORITE version - this one obviously - is made with a simple batter that goes on the bottom and rises to the top as the cobbler bakes with the ripe, juicy fruit. A crunchy, caramelized brown sugar crust tops it perfectly.
It's 100% homemade, 100% EASY, and 100% delicious!
While cobblers are usually made with one fruit only (most often peaches), I love to throw some blueberries into the mix. The peaches get super tender, but still hold their shape, while the blueberries melt into jammy puddles. Soooooo good. (Don't forget the scoop of vanilla ice cream ;)).
I will say that if you bake a lot, this recipe is probably going to seem a bit strange when you make it. You'll probably wonder if you misread things when you start pouring the super thin batter into a pan of melted butter.
Don't worry, it totally works, I promise!
Here's a step-by-step with photos, so you can see what it looks like to assemble this cobbler.
Peach and Blueberry Cobbler Step-by-Step
- Preheat the oven to 350 F. Place the cubed butter in a 3 quart (9 x 13 inch) baking dish or pan and put it in the oven for about 5 minutes to melt.
While the butter is melting in the oven, make the batter.
2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Add the milk and vanilla extract.
4. Stir until smooth. The batter will be very thin.
5. Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter. The batter will sink to the bottom, and the butter will rise to the top.
6. Stir together the peach slices, blueberries, and 2 teaspoons of fresh lemon juice.
7. Spread the fruit evenly over the butter/batter.
8. Sprinkle everything with ½ cup of brown sugar.
9. Bake until the top is golden and it no longer jiggles when you shake the pan a bit, about 40-50 minutes.
Let it cool for a 15 minutes or so and serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Can I use canned or frozen peaches and blueberries?
Yes, you can. If using frozen fruit, thaw the peaches first, but use the blueberries frozen. Thawed blueberries get super juicy and make everything purple!
If using canned peaches, be sure to drain them well.

I made this recipe tonight for my roommate who loves cobblers. She said it is the best cobbler she’s ever had and is already asking me to make more in the future. I used canned peaches and fresh blueberries!
Coco and Ash says
Yay! Thank you for sharing 🙂
Carla says
This is delicious! Made it with frozen fruit. Can't wait til summer when I can use fresh. Thank you!

Ohmygosh yessssss! So excited to make this! We always have peaches and blueberries handy and I'm stoked to combine them in this beautiful cobbler!
Ann Otis says
Awesome!! Let me know how it goes 🙂
Sally says
I made this recently and LOVED it. I love a little spice with my fruit so I added a few shakes of ground cinnamon and ground ginger to the fruit, added some smashed ginger snap cookies to the brown sugar, and grated a little lemon zest on top. It didn't last long enough to take a picture! Thank you for this easy and delicious recipe!
Beverly in VA says
My husband loves a good cobbler and asked me to try this recipe. Since it's just the two of us, I cut the recipe in half using peaches, blackberries and he asked me to include some strawberries. While preparing the fruit, I inadvertently tossed everything in the brown sugar (my mistake) but still sprinkled brown sugar on top as the recipe instructed - it was not too sweet. He absolutely raved about this cobbler saying it was the best cobbler he has eaten!! Recipe is a keeper and will definitely make it again!
Coco and Ash says
I'm so happy to hear that Beverly! Thank you!
Julie Bateman says
The ONLY thing I would change is not adding so much granulated sugar. Next time I would cut that down to about 3/4 cups instead of 1 1/2.
Other than that slight change this was AMAZING. I have to hide it from myself so I won't eat the whole pan.
Cheryl Vozzella says
Can you make this in advance?
Kelly says
Can you bake this in advance if you are having guests over and reheat to serve?
Coco and Ash says
Sure!
Katherine says
This was so incredible. I ended up putting in some strawberries since I had some fruit I needed to use. It was so buttery. I reminded me of the cobblers that my mother used to make. Thank you for this recipe.
Coco and Ash says
Thank you!
Anna says
Looks great so far still in the oven!!! Ty
Mickie says
This cobbler is amazing & it tastes of summer! Our neighbors had us over this evening & our friend served this delicious cobbler of yours. We all throughly enjoyed it. So. Many thanks for sharing Mindy!
Coco and Ash says
Thank you!!
Janet says
This is amazingly delicious! It's fantastic warm or at room temperature. We loved the crust and the brown sugar on top. Truly my favorite dessert EVER. Can't wait to make it for a party. So PERFECT!
Coco and Ash says
Awesome!! Thank you
Kayla says
Absolutely delicious and super easy! Do you recommend storing it in the fridge?
Coco and Ash says
Yes. Definitely refrigerate it. So glad you enjoyed it!!
Joan says
This was delicious and very easy to make. I cut the sugar in the batter to 1 cup to suit our tastes, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly with fresh peaches and blueberries. Turned out perfectly and I can't wait to make it again.
Coco and Ash says
Awesome!!
Lois says
This was the BEST cobbler I’ve ever made! It is so good you don’t need to add the ice cream. I followed the recipe to a T and I can’t say enough about how delicious this is. Thanks for sharing!
Coco and Ash says
Oh yay!! So glad you enjoyed it!
Rachael says
This is my new go-to cobbler! I made this as written -- the peach/blueberry combo is YUM .. this was a perfect dessert not overly sweet or sugary like some cobblers can be .. and its easy to make
Jen says
Bubbled over the baking dish and created a huge mess in the oven 🙁 also appears very undercooked but my fruit was browned on top and the edges of the cobbler were crispy. The taste would probably have been delicious only it is raw as I try enjoying it for lunch today. subbed coconut oil instead of butter. seems very oily and I wonder if the amount of butter called for in this recipe kept it from cooking properly.
Coco and Ash says
I would recommend trying the recipe as it’s written with the butter. Butter and coconut oil can behave very differently in a baked dish. Sorry it didn’t work for you.
Kathy says
A 3-star review of a modified recipe seems ill-thought. Jen, you ought to remove your review and repost when you make the dish according to the recipe. Just sayin'. 🙂 I made this dessert per the recipe and it is fantastic.
Lisa says
Jen, i agree with Cathy ... we made it as Called For ..... and it was Perfect !!!
... maybe use a bit larger didh next time, ... just in case .... or ... just Alwaysss put Foil under anyyyy baked dishes involving Fruits ! Good Luck ! you'll Love it !!
Natalie says
Jen, it's very inappropriate to significantly alter a recipe (butter and oil do not impart the same taste or texture/mouth feel), then negatively rate it bc *you* messed it up. Switching oil for butter will drastically affect a biscuit/dough type topping, whereas it won't alter the texture of a cake. You screwed it up. Please make the recipe exactly as written, then rate it on that outcome, not your inability to successfully (or, in your case, unsuccessfully) sub ingredients.
I'm not rating the recipe, unlike many people here who've given it 5 stars, but haven't actually made it. I came here to comment, which is possible w/o falsely rating a recipe.
Maddy says
Thank you, I made this for 4th of July and it was a hit! Made it again using half of the ingredients for a smaller batch!
Christina says
Delicious! I cut the amount of sugar in the batter to 1/2 cup as my fruit was already sweet. A home run … I will be making this again!
Coco and Ash says
Thank you!!
Dale says
Neighbor gave us some fresh peaches and daughter bought some local blueberries and voila…a delicious cobbler I will make again for company some day. We used cookie tin under glass dish as batter filled to top. Glad I did since it spilled over some. May have had more fruit than recipe called for as gauged it by looks (love fruit so didn’t mind extra). Might cut back bit on white sugar next time but it was not overly sweet. Thanks for the simple recipe!
Erin says
This exceeded my expectations. Wow. Decadent. Thank you for sharing!
Alexis Maxwell says
Came out beautiful… winner
Dorian says
This was good! I didn’t have brown sugar for the topping, but didn’t realize it until I had assembled the entire dish and it was ready for the oven. It lacked the crunchy, browned topping, but it was still delicious. I will try it again with the brown sugar!
Thank you!
Carol says
Do you peel your peaches?
Linda says
I did. This recipe didn’t indicate it and I couldn’t tell from the photos. I checked other peach cobbler recipes which all indicated to peel the peaches.
Amy says
This was delicious! Probably the best cobbler I’ve had. Thanks for the recipe!
Michelle says
It's in the over right now and smells amazing, but the cobbler hasn't risen through the fruit. It's been in 50 minutes. Should I wait for it to rise? Take it out now? This is my first time making a cobbler with the batter on bottom.
Thanks!
Coco and Ash says
It may not rise if there is a lot of fruit covering it with no spaces. Should still be great tho!
kel dehnert says
This recipe was so delicious and so easy. I followed it to a T and it came out great. My family loved it so much that my son requested I make it again when we got down to the last square.
Kristine says
Possible to make this dairy free? Almond milk and butter? I am New to lactose free diet but this looks soooo good!
Coco and Ash says
I'm not sure Kristine but let me know if you have any success! 🙂
Carol Stech says
Absolutely delicious! Thank you for such an easy recipe!
Coco and Ash says
Thank you Carol!!
Kathryn Christolini says
Easy and delicious! I tried this after a mediocre result from a recipe by a professionally trained pastry chef that I follow- this recipe was far superior! I added an extra cup of peaches because I wanted to use them up, but otherwise followed it exactly as written. The extra fruit did not affect the consistency or flavor, it was perfect and there was still more than enough "cake" relative to the fruit. I would add the extra cup of fruit if I make it again, because who doesn't love more dessert? I put a baking sheet under it in case it overflowed but even with the extra fruit it didn't even come close. This recipe is a keeper!
SBS says
This was absolutely delicious. I accidentally forgot the brown sugar topping and it was still a tad too sweet for us. In the future I'll try it with the topping but cut back on the granulated sugar on the batter. (And, since we have a bumper crop of peaches on our trees this year, I have plans to make this many more times!)
Lisa says
I made this with fresh peaches this summer and was wondering if you use raspberries for a Peach Melba Cobbler. I have both in the freezer.
Meredith Serrano says
This recipe is fantastic. Will be making it for the second time in less than a month today! My local U-Pick has peaches and blueberries currently in season and getting to make this with freshly picked, tree ripened fruit is incredible. Thanks for such an easy and tasty recipe!
Coco and Ash says
Thank you Meredith! So glad you're enjoying it!
Rebecca L Wright says
Delicious! Big hit at the 4th party tonight!
I did add a teaspoon of cinnamon to the batter, because that's a spice that enhances both peaches and blueberries.
Julia says
This recipe was INCREDIBLE and the perfect addition for our family gathering on the 4th of July. I even used over-ripe, mealy peaches (because that’s all I had) and you couldn’t tell. A few minor modifications: I used 1.5-2cups of blueberries. While I didn’t stir the batter after adding the peaches and blueberries, I did press them down slightly into the batter. Served with whipped cream! (Vanilla ice cream would have also been great)
Coco and Ash says
Thank you Julia!! So glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Cindy says
Perfectly beautiful cobbler. I had these beautiful peaches from my CSA just sitting on the counter and went looking for a recipe to use them up before they spoiled. This was perfect! I think I’ll use it as my base for cobblers moving forward. I love how buttery it is. It rivals the cobbler at my favorite restaurant.
Cathlean Sanada says
I'm excited to try this recipe! Can I freeze this and thaw it out later?
Jennifer says
Hi! I just found and made this recipe today using fresh peaches and frozen (from fresh) blueberries. It was delicious and so easy. My only changes were to use less butter (4 oz/1 stick was fine) and cut out 1/2 cup of the sugar. It's perfect for us. Thank you!
jess says
wow this came out great, the top was delightfully crunchy. Crowd pleaser!
Lauren says
Made this today and it was absolutely delicious! Added just 1/4 cup sugar to the lemon, peaches, and blueberries and tossed it together and let it sit before adding it to the batter. Had to bake mine for about 60 to 70 minutes. Started to get a little brown around the edges before the middle was done, so I covered the outside edges with foil and let the inside continue to bake. Great recipe!!
Coco and Ash says
So glad you enjoyed it Lauren! 🙂
Julie says
Last night's dinner party dessert was a hit thanks to this recipe. I made two, one with regular flour and a gluten free version. They were both delicious and I'll be keeping this recipe and making it again and again.
Lynn says
I really liked this, but would like more of the cobbler/cake part.. Any recommendations for that in the recipe ? Didn't know if doubling the dry ingredients would work and appreciate your thoughts. Thanks
Lynn says
I really enjoyed this but would like more cobbler/cake part. What ingredients do you recommend doubling or adding more to the recipe to achieve this?
Monica says
The overall flavor was really good and it was SO simple to make! However, I did reduce the granulated sugar to 1 cup as it seemed like it would be too sweet as written. If I make this recipe again, I might even reduce the granulated sugar more… the sweetness seems to take something away from the yummy, fresh fruit.
Also, the butter was way too much. The outer edge with the butter was almost unappealing. I would probably just grease the pan a little and omit the butter in general.
Like I said though, an overall tasty, good recipe.
Thomas Dunlap says
Wow! My entire family agrees: the very best cobbler recipe ever. And so easy. Thank you!!
Crystal says
Delish!
kim says
awesome tasting and super easy! i did reduce the granulated sugar by half a cup and next time... And there will definitely be a next time because it was so tasty... I would probably reduce the sugar even more
Linda says
OMG!
I read the recipe and the reviews so I thought I’d try it. I never expected it to be even better than everyone claimed!
I did make some adjustments but it came out perfectly. We’re leaving for vacation and I wanted to use up perishables.
I only had 4 oz of butter and no milk in the house, so I used half and half. I had 3 peaches and mixed berries-blackberries, blueberries, and strawberries. I used them all.
I need to eat gluten free. I used Walmart’s Great Value gf flour, my usual.
Due to the gf flour and the half and half the batter was thicker than the photos but it still worked.
This was sensational!
We’re having a backyard party in a couple of weeks and this will definitely be on the dessert table!
Thank you for this recipe!
Coco and Ash says
SO glad you enjoyed it Linda!
Kimmie says
This was delicious!!!! Easy to make too! I added some honey to the fruit after letting it sit in the lemon juice for a bit. Definitely saving this to make again
Emily E says
I just made this cobbler for the second time and it was great! I did change the recipe a little bit this time around. I was almost out of flour so used half oat flour and half white which came out really well. I also reduced the sugar, the first time it was a bit too sweet for my liking so I reduced the white sugar to 3/4 cups and it was perfect! Excellent recipe
