Melty Peach Cobbler Crunch

This Melty Peach Cobbler Crunch is pure comfort in a baking dish — sweet, juicy peaches with a warm hint of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger, baked under a golden, buttery batter. The optional splash of bourbon deepens the flavor, while a crunchy pecan topping adds the perfect nutty bite. It’s an easy, no-fuss dessert that feels a little fancy but comes together in minutes. Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and you’ll have everyone asking for seconds. If you want more dessert recipes like my Peach Cobbler Crunch click the button below! If you love peaches as much as I do, you’ve also got to try my Easy Peach Upside Down Cake — it’s just as simple and totally irresistible.

Add the reserved peach syrup to the bottom of the bowl that contained the peach mixture after you add the peaches over the cake batter. But make sure you only add enough reserved juice so it totals 1/2 cup.

Can I use fresh peaches instead of canned?

Yes! Peel and slice about 4–5 cups of fresh peaches, then toss them with the same spices and sugar. You may need to add a splash of juice or water if they don’t release enough liquid.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x?

• 2 15-oz cans sliced peaches in juice or light syrup (drained, reserve juice separately — you’ll only use enough to total ½ cup after tossing peaches)
• 2 –3 tbsp bourbon optional
• ½ cup packed light brown sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• ½ tsp nutmeg
• ¼ tsp ground ginger
• 1 cup self-rising flour
• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 stick ½ cup salted butter, melted
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ½ –1 cup coarsely chopped pecans
• 1 tbsp melted butter for pecans
• 1 tbsp light brown sugar for pecans

Method

 

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Pour melted butter into a 9×13 baking dish — no need to grease.
3. Toss drained peaches with bourbon, ½ cup brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Let sit 5–10 minutes to release some of their own juices.
4. In another bowl, whisk flour, granulated sugar, milk, and vanilla until just combined (a few lumps are fine).
5. Pour batter over the melted butter — do not stir.
6. Spoon peach mixture over batter.
7. Whatever juices are left at the bottom of the bowl after spooning the peaches, add enough of the reserved peach liquid from the cans to make the total ½ cup.
8. Drizzle the combined juices over the peaches.
9. Toss pecans with 1 tbsp melted butter + 1 tbsp brown sugar; sprinkle on top.
10. Bake 40–50 minutes, until golden and bubbly.
11. Cool slightly; serve warm with ice cream.
