Ingredients
With just six ingredients, this recipe highlights the ease of Bisquick and the sweetness of canned peaches. Use well-drained peaches for the best texture.
-
1 cup (120 g) Original Bisquick mix: Creates a simple, tender topping.
-
1 cup (240 mL) milk: Adds moisture for a cake-like texture.
-
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg: Brings a warm, spiced note.
-
½ cup (115 g) butter, melted: Forms a rich, golden base for the cobbler.
-
1 (29-ounce / 822 g) can sliced peaches, drained: Provides a juicy, sweet filling.
-
1 cup (200 g) sugar: Sweetens the peaches and balances their flavor.
-
Substitutions and Variations:
-
Dairy-Free: Use plant-based milk (e.g., almond or oat) and vegan butter. Ensure Bisquick is dairy-free or use a homemade mix (1 cup flour, 1 ½ tsp baking powder, ¼ tsp salt).
-
Gluten-Free: Swap Bisquick for a gluten-free Bisquick mix or a gluten-free flour blend with 1 ½ tsp baking powder and ¼ tsp salt.
-
Lower Sugar: Reduce sugar to ¾ cup (150 g) or use a sugar substitute like erythritol.
-
Fresh Peaches: Replace canned peaches with 4 cups peeled, sliced fresh peaches (about 4–5 peaches); add 1 tablespoon lemon juice for brightness.
-
Flavor Boost: Add ½ teaspoon cinnamon or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the batter, or mix ¼ teaspoon ground ginger into the peaches.
-
Why These Ingredients Matter: The Bisquick mix simplifies the topping, the peaches deliver a juicy, sweet filling, and the nutmeg adds a warm, subtle spice, all enhanced by the buttery base.
Instructions
Step 1: Prep
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Gather all ingredients: 1 cup Bisquick mix, 1 cup milk, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ½ cup melted butter, 1 (29-ounce) can sliced peaches (drained), and 1 cup sugar.
-
Tip: Use a glass or ceramic 8×8-inch baking dish for even baking, and ensure peaches are well-drained to avoid a soggy cobbler.
Step 2: Prepare the Batter
-
In an ungreased 8×8-inch baking dish, whisk together 1 cup Bisquick mix, 1 cup milk, and ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg until smooth, about 1 minute.
-
Stir in ½ cup melted butter until fully blended. The batter will be thin.
-
Tip: Whisk gently to avoid overmixing, which can make the topping dense; a smooth batter is key.
Step 3: Prepare the Peach Filling
-
In a large bowl, stir together 1 (29-ounce) can drained sliced peaches and 1 cup sugar until combined.
-
Tip: Taste the peaches; if they’re very sweet, reduce sugar to ¾ cup to avoid an overly sweet filling.
Step 4: Assemble
-
Spoon the peach mixture evenly over the batter in the baking dish. Do not stir; the batter will rise around the peaches during baking.
-
Tip: Spread the peaches evenly to ensure every bite has fruit, and let the batter remain undisturbed for the classic cobbler texture.
Step 5: Bake
-
Place the baking dish on a baking sheet to catch any potential spills.
-
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 50–60 minutes, until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the topping comes out clean.
-
Tip: Check at 50 minutes; if the top browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil for the remaining time.
Step 6: Serve
-
Let the cobbler cool for 5–10 minutes to allow the filling to set slightly.
-
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
-
Tip: Spoon into bowls to capture the juicy peach filling, and serve immediately for the best texture
