With only 5 ingredients, this quick peach cobbler recipe might better be dubbed “pantry cobbler” since you likely have all the ingredients on hand. My mother and aunt would often make this cobbler for a simple dessert, usually in the summer. The great this about this quick peach cobbler is that you can easily switch up the fruit depending on the season and enjoy a variety of easy cobbler flavors from this one recipe.

Make blackberry cobbler in the summer with fresh fruit or a quick peach cobbler in the winter with canned fruit. Since we have blackberry bushes I usually make blackberry cobbler using this recipe.

Mom just made this quick peach cobbler at her house and brought me some. Yum! Know what’s even tastier than dessert? Dessert that you didn’t have to make yourself. Am I right? Still, this recipe is so simple and easy you probably won’t mind. Get someone else to clean up the dishes and it’s pretty close to being served!
