Peach Pecan Cobbler is a sweet and buttery dessert recipe that’s loaded with fresh peaches and toasted pecans. This simple and easy dessert comes together in one pan.

I modeled this easy dessert recipe after my very popular Pecan Cobbler and Caramel Cobbler recipes.

They are popular not only because they’re so delicious, but because they’re so very simple to make. First, the ingredients are items that you probably already have on hand with the exception of the peaches. I love to use fresh peaches, but frozen or canned will also work. Secondly, there are not very many ingredients which I always like! And finally, it’s not only what’s in the dessert, but how you put it together.

The secret is layering the ingredients. It really is as simple as layering the ingredients. Don’t alter or change the order, layer the ingredients exactly as I have listed in the instructions below.

The one thing to remember when making this dessert is, don’t overthink it. Your first thought when pouring hot water over the batter is “this will never work”. It does, trust me. I know it doesn’t seem correct to pour hot water over batter, but it cooks wonderfully and makes the best sauce ever.

Peach Pecan Cobbler Tips

Substitute 1 and 1/2 cups self-rising flour for the all-purpose flour. Omit the baking powder and salt.
I don’t recommend changing the size of the pan. It needs to be thin to cook crisp. Otherwise, the batter with be ‘doughy’.
You can substitute any fruit for the peaches.
You can use sliced fresh, canned, or frozen peaches. If using canned peaches, I would drain them.

Serve the Peach Pecan Cobbler and bubbly caramel sauce with a good quality vanilla ice cream for an easy summery treat.

i have loooked for hours , in cook books and on the net , to find a peach cobbler that did not look dried out. i think i have finaly found what i am looking for. this cobbler looks moist (wet), and looks like there will be plenty of the liquid to go around. i am going to the kitchen and getting started. ps–the pictures really show this peach cobbler off!!

RE: Peach Pecan Cobbler

Should I drain the canned peaches first before adding them to the cobbler?

What a lovely recipe for my favorite fruit, so I’m looking forward to making this delicious dessert as soon as I get more fresh peaches. Do you peel your fresh peaches before using them (blanch & shock?) Also, I know that you lovely folks in the south like your desserts (and tea) very sweet, but we here…. not so much. Since peaches are already naturally sweet & delicious, I plan to cut down a bit on the amount of both sugars in this recipe, I’m sure that this Cobbler will still be scrumptious!

Thanks for the clarification. This looks like a dessert I would like to try this weekend so I appreciate your prompt reply.

In the main recipe you state use to use 1 3/4 tsp. baking powder and yet in the substitution of self rising flour you have omit the salt and baking soda. so my question is are we to use baking powder or baking soda?
