Grandma’s Peach Cobbler
Ingredients:
2 cups fresh sliced or canned (drained) peaches
1 cup Bisquick All Purpose Mix
1 cup of milk
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 cup of sugar
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In an 8×8 baking dish, combine the Bisquick mix, milk, nutmeg, and cinnamon, stirring until well combined. Then, fold in the melted butter.
In a separate bowl, mix the sugar and peaches together. Spoon this mixture over the cobbler base.
Bake for 1 hour, or until the crust turns a lovely golden brown. Serve warm, and enjoy! It’s especially delicious with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
Notes:
Peach Options: Fresh, ripe peaches are ideal for this recipe, but canned peaches work just as well. If using canned, make sure to drain them thoroughly to avoid excess moisture.
Sweetness Adjustment: Depending on the sweetness of your peaches, you might want to adjust the sugar. Taste the peaches before mixing them with sugar and adjust accordingly.
Butter Substitution: For a slightly healthier version, you can use melted coconut oil or a dairy-free butter substitute if you prefer.
Serving Suggestions: This cobbler is fantastic on its own, but pairing it with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or even a drizzle of caramel sauce takes it to the next level.
Storage: Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for the best texture, or microwave for a quick fix.
Add-Ins: Consider adding a handful of blueberries or raspberries for a mixed berry twist. They pair wonderfully with peaches!
Gluten-Free Option: If you need a gluten-free version, you can use a gluten-free baking mix in place of Bisquick.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I use frozen peaches instead of fresh or canned?
Yes, you can use frozen peaches!
Just make sure to thaw and drain them well before adding to the recipe to prevent excess moisture.
What if I don’t have Bisquick?
If you don’t have Bisquick, you can make your own by mixing 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1 tablespoon of sugar.
How do I store leftover cobbler?
Store leftover cobbler in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
You can reheat it in the oven or microwave before serving.
Can I make this cobbler ahead of time?
Yes! You can prepare the cobbler in advance and store it unbaked in the refrigerator.
Just bake it when you’re ready to serve; you may need to add a few extra minutes to the baking time.
Is it possible to make a gluten-free version of this cobbler?
Absolutely! You can use a gluten-free baking mix instead of Bisquick.
Just make sure all other ingredients, like sugar and spices, are gluten-free as well.
How can I tell when the cobbler is done baking?
The cobbler is done when the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
If the top is browning too quickly, you can cover it loosely with foil.
What kind of peaches work best for this recipe?
Fresh, ripe peaches are ideal, but you can also use canned (drained) peaches or even frozen peaches that have been thawed.
The key is to ensure they are sweet and juicy.
Can I add other fruits to the cobbler?
Yes! Feel free to mix in other fruits like blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries for a fruit medley cobbler.
Just keep in mind that the cooking time may vary slightly.
What if my cobbler turns out too runny?
If your cobbler is too runny, it could be due to the moisture from the peaches.
To fix this, you can bake it a bit longer to help evaporate the excess liquid.
Adding a tablespoon of cornstarch to the peach mixture before baking can also help thicken it.
Is there a way to make the cobbler healthier?
You can reduce the sugar in the recipe, substitute some of the butter with applesauce, or use whole wheat flour instead of Bisquick for added fiber.
Additionally, serving it with fresh fruit instead of ice cream can make it lighter.
