This dish combines fresh peaches, a hint of sugar, and the magic of Bisquick to create a comforting dessert. Perfect for any occasion, this recipe is easy to follow and full of flavor. Let’s dive into the joy of baking together!
Ingredients
Fresh Peaches
For this Bisquick peach cobbler, fresh peaches are key. You need 4 cups of fresh peaches, peeled and sliced. Look for ripe, juicy peaches. They should be fragrant and slightly soft to the touch. This fruit will give your cobbler its sweet and tangy flavor. Trust me, using fresh peaches makes a huge difference.
Sugar and Lemon Juice
You will need 1 cup of granulated sugar for this recipe, divided into two parts: ¾ cup for the peaches and ¼ cup for the batter. The sugar helps to enhance the natural sweetness of the peaches. 1 tablespoon of lemon juice is also needed. The lemon juice adds a nice zing that balances the sweetness. It brightens the flavor of the fruit and keeps it fresh.
Bisquick Baking Mix
This recipe calls for 1 ½ cups of Bisquick mix. This mix makes your cobbler easy and quick to prepare. It helps create a soft, fluffy texture. You will also need ¾ cup of whole milk and ½ cup of melted unsalted butter. These ingredients work with the Bisquick to create a rich batter. Don’t forget 1 teaspoon of baking powder to help it rise. A hint of ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract and ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon adds warmth and flavor. Lastly, a pinch of salt brings all the flavors together nicely.

Step-by-Step Instructions
Prepping the Peaches
Start by peeling and slicing four cups of fresh peaches. Choose ripe peaches for the best flavor. In a large bowl, mix the sliced peaches with three-quarters cup of granulated sugar and one tablespoon of lemon juice. This step helps bring out the peach flavor. Toss the peaches gently to coat them. Let the mixture sit for about ten minutes. This resting time lets the peaches soak up the sugar and juice, making them even sweeter.
Mixing the Batter
While the peaches rest, grab another bowl. Combine one and a half cups of Bisquick mix, one teaspoon of baking powder, and the remaining quarter cup of sugar. Next, add three-quarters cup of whole milk, half a cup of melted unsalted butter, half a teaspoon of vanilla extract, half a teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Whisk everything together until you have a smooth batter. This batter will create a light and fluffy texture in your cobbler.
Baking the Cobbler
Now, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking. Pour the batter into the dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom. Gently spoon the peach mixture, along with its juices, over the batter. Do not stir. This creates a lovely layered look. Bake your cobbler for 45 to 50 minutes. It’s done when it turns golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. After baking, let it cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious creation!

Tips & Tricks
Achieving the Perfect Texture
To get the best texture, use ripe peaches. They should feel soft but not mushy. When mixing the batter, don’t overmix. Stir just until combined to keep it light and fluffy. Pour the batter into a greased dish, then spoon the peaches on top. This way, you create a lovely layer. The batter rises around the fruit, giving you a great final look and feel.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this cobbler warm for the best taste. It pairs wonderfully with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. You can also add a slice of fresh peach on top for extra flair. For a twist, try a drizzle of caramel sauce. This adds a rich flavor that makes each bite even better.
Storing Leftovers
If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container. Keep it in the fridge for up to three days. To reheat, place a slice in the microwave for about 30 seconds. This keeps it soft and warm. If you want to save it longer, you can freeze it for up to three months. Just make sure to wrap it well to prevent freezer burn.
Variations
Adding Spices
You can make your cobbler even more tasty by adding spices. Cinnamon brings warmth, while nutmeg adds a cozy touch. Just a pinch of each can change the flavor. If you like a little heat, try a pinch of cayenne. It gives the dish a fun kick! Mix spices into the batter or sprinkle them on the peaches. Experiment to find your favorite blend.
Alternative Fruits
Peaches are great, but you can use other fruits too. Try blueberries for a sweet burst or blackberries for a tangy twist. Apples give a crisp texture, and pears add a soft bite. You can even mix fruits for a colorful cobbler. Just keep the same amount of fruit to ensure the right texture. Your cobbler will be unique and fun!
Gluten-Free Version
If you need a gluten-free option, it’s easy to adjust. Use a gluten-free baking mix instead of Bisquick. Many brands offer great substitutes that taste just as good. You can also make your own mix with gluten-free flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. This way, everyone can enjoy your delicious cobbler without worry.
