Before You Get Started
A few quick tips will help you make the best Bisquick peach cobbler:
- Fresh, frozen, or canned peaches all work well. Just thaw and drain frozen peaches or drain canned peaches thoroughly.
- Don’t stir the batter into the fruit. Pour it over the peaches and leave it alone.
- The cobbler is done when the center is set like a cake and no batter is bubbling on the surface.
How to Make Bisquick Peach Cobbler
This easy cobbler comes together in just a few minutes with ingredients you probably already have in the kitchen. Here’s how to do it:
Step 1: Arrange the Peaches
Spread the peaches evenly in a greased baking dish.
Whether you’re using fresh, frozen, or canned peaches, it’s important to drain away excess liquid so the cobbler doesn’t become soggy.
** Tip: A cast iron skillet creates especially crisp edges, but any 2-quart baking dish works well.
Step 2: Mix the Batter
In a large bowl, whisk together the Bisquick, sugar, milk, melted butter, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
The batter should be smooth, but don’t worry about a few small lumps.
** Tip: Avoid over-mixing. A gentle stir keeps the topping light and tender instead of dense.

Step 3: Pour the Batter Over the Fruit
Pour the batter evenly over the peaches.
It may seem strange not to stir, but that’s exactly how cobbler works. As the dessert bakes, the batter rises around the fruit to create a soft cake-like topping.
Step 4: Bake Until Golden Brown
Bake until the top is golden brown and fully set in the center.
The peaches should be bubbling underneath the topping, and the center should feel firm when lightly touched.
** Tip: If the top starts browning too quickly, loosely tent the dish with foil while the cobbler finishes baking.
Step 5: Cool and Serve
Let the cobbler cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
This gives the fruit juices time to thicken and makes serving much easier.
** Serving Ideas: Vanilla ice cream is the classic, but this cobbler is also delicious with homemade whipped cream, a drizzle of caramel sauce, or even a spoonful of yogurt for a not-too-sweet breakfast.
Fresh, Frozen, or Canned Peaches: Which Is Best?
One of the best things about this Bisquick peach cobbler is that it works with fresh, frozen, or canned peaches.
- Fresh peaches: Best flavor and texture when they’re in season. Peeling is optional.
- Frozen peaches: Thaw completely and drain well before using.
- Canned peaches: The most convenient option. Drain thoroughly, and choose peaches packed in juice rather than heavy syrup when possible.
Storage and Make-Ahead Tips
Storage: Cover and refrigerate leftovers for up to 4 days.
Freezing: Freeze the baked cobbler for up to 2 months.
Reheating: Warm in a 350°F oven until heated through.
Microwave: Individual portions can be reheated in the microwave for a quick dessert.
I just made this and it was very good. I squirted a little lemon juice over the peaches first, to add a little tartness…Super delicious and easy!

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use canned peaches in Bisquick peach cobbler?
Yes. Just drain them thoroughly before adding them to the baking dish.
Why is my peach cobbler runny?
The peaches likely had too much liquid, or the cobbler needed a few extra minutes in the oven. Make sure the center is fully set before removing it from the oven.
Can I double this recipe?
Absolutely. Double all of the ingredients and bake the cobbler in a deep 9 x 13-inch baking dish.
Do I need to peel the peaches?
No. The skins soften during baking, so peeling is completely optional.
Can I make Bisquick peach cobbler ahead of time?
Yes. Bake it earlier in the day and serve at room temperature, or gently rewarm it before serving.

Easy Bisquick Peach Cobbler
Equipment
Ingredients
- 3-4 cups sliced fresh peaches, canned and drained peaches, or frozen (thawed and drained) peaches (peeling the peaches is optional, but not necessary)
- 1 ¼ cups Bisquick (or other all-purpose baking mix)
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup (1 stick) salted butter, melted
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- For serving: vanilla ice cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 10-inch cast iron skillet or another 2-quart baking dish (such as an 11 x 7-inch pan) with nonstick cooking spray. Arrange the sliced peaches in the prepared dish.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the Bisquick, sugar, milk, melted butter, cinnamon, and nutmeg until combined.
- Pour the batter over the peaches.
- Bake, uncovered, for about 1 hour (or until golden brown and set). The cobbler is done when the topping is totally set (like a cake), it isn't jiggly in the middle, and you can’t see any batter bubbling. If the top of the cobbler starts to get too dark, cover loosely with foil until it's cooked through.
- Serve the cobbler warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top!

Yet another fantastic recipe. Super easy. In NZ you can’t get Bisquick but I have often swapped it out for self-raising flour and it seems to work fine. Made with blackberries and apples and tasted amazing. Will become a family regular.

Hi Blair. I just made this Easy Cobbler and it smells and looks delicious. I only had a bit more than two cups of peaches, but had a pint of blueberries, so I did a combo to get to 3 1/2 cups. I think it’s a great pairing! Thanks for this easy recipe and, as always, we appreciate your Sunday email with the recap of your week in meals. Beautiful pics, too! Hope you and the boys have a wonderful summer.
That’s perfect, Tim! I love the combo of blueberries and peaches in a cobbler. Hope you enjoy the dessert, and thank you so much for your kind words. I appreciate you taking the time to leave me a note! 🙂
Hi Blair. I made the peach / blueberry cobbler last night, before even seeing your version in this week’s email….lol. our version, from scratch, is almost identical to yours, but we pour a think sugar/ water blend over the batter just before baking. It gives the cobbler a sweet crust on top.
I really enjoy your recipes each week. Thanks!!! Mark
That’s funny — great minds think alike! Your version sounds delicious!
I altered it a bit. Used almond milk, gluten free bisquick and baked truvia and it was delish! Can’t wait to make it with blue berries and peaches.
Thanks, Patty!

That’s awesome to hear, Ali! Thank you!
I just made this and it was very good. I squirted a little lemon juice over the peaches first, to add a little tartness. I had some heavy cream, so I used 3/4 Cup 2% milk, and topped it off up to a Cup with the cream. Super delicious and easy!
I’m so glad that you enjoyed it, Alexis. Thanks for letting me know!
Hi Blair, I took my grandson to go see the Georgia Peach Truck that was in our area over the weekend and ended up grabbing a 12 lb. box of peaches while we were there.
I have so many peaches left over that I decided to make a peach cobbler. I was looking for Bisquick’s Impossible Peach Cobbler recipe and stumbled across your recipe instead. I cannot wait to try this recipe out using some of these fresh juicy peaches.
We hope you enjoy it! We’d love to know how it turns out for you.
Made this exactly how it said to. Amazing recipe
Thank you, Rose!
I made this recipe. Easy and delicious. I used a jar of peaches.
Thank you for trying it out, Karen! We’re so glad you enjoyed it.
