Ingredients you’ll need for this Mini Peach Cobbler

This recipe calls for simple ingredients, found in any grocery store:

  • Fresh peaches. Provide the juicy, sweet, and tangy base for the cobbler. Ripe peaches work best for this recipe.
  • White sugar. The white sugar sweetens the peaches and creates a nice syrupy texture.
  • Corn starch. Thickens the peach mixture, making it less runny.
  • Vanilla extract. Adds a warm, rich flavor to the filling.
  • Cinnamon. It gives a hint of spice, enhancing the flavor of the peaches.
  • Salt. It balances the sweetness and enhances the overall flavor.
  • Unsalted butter. Adds richness and helps create a golden, crisp topping.
  • All-purpose flour. Forms the base of the cobbler topping, creating a soft yet crumbly texture.
  • Milk. The milk combines with the flour to create a smooth batter for the topping.

Add-ons and Substitutions for this Homemade Peach Cobbler

  • Brown sugar: Use in place of white sugar for a deeper, molasses-like flavor.
  • Canned or frozen peaches: You can use canned or frozen peaches instead of fresh peaches. If using canned peaches, drain them well. If using frozen peaches, let them thaw and drain any excess liquid.
  • Cornstarch: You can substitute cornstarch with an equal amount of all-purpose flour. It will help thicken the peach filling just as well.
  • Lemon juice: Add a splash to the peach mixture for a bright, tangy contrast.
  • Nutmeg: Sprinkle a pinch into the filling or topping for added warmth and spice.
  • Old-fashioned Oats: Mix 2 tablespoons of oats into the topping for extra texture and a slight chewiness.
  • Dairy-free: Replace unsalted butter with coconut oil for a dairy-free option and milk for a dairy-free milk option.
  • Blueberry cobbler: Replace the peaches with blueberries for a blueberry cobbler version.

How to make this individual Fresh Peach Cobbler

Preheat your oven to 350°F and start by making the peach filling.

Mix the peach slices, granulated sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until every peach slice is completely covered with the mixture. Add the mixture to an 8-oz ramekin and set aside.

In a small bowl, mix the ingredients for the crumble topping until a thick dough is formed. Using your fingers, crumble the topping dough over the peaches, leaving small holes so the peach juices and hot air can escape.

Place the ramekin on a cookie sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping turns a golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.

Add a couple of scoops of vanilla ice cream on top of your warm peach crisp recipe and enjoy!

Tips and Tricks for this Easy Peach Cobbler

  1. Use ripe peaches: Ripe peaches are sweeter and juicier, enhancing the flavor of your cobbler.
  2. Cut evenly: Slice the peaches evenly to ensure they cook uniformly.
  3. Mix thoroughly: Ensure all peach slices are thoroughly coated with the sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt mixture. This ensures even flavor and proper thickening.
  4. Leave gaps in the topping: When crumbling the topping over the peaches, leave small holes. This helps reduce the juices from overflowing and allows hot air to escape, resulting in a crispier topping. 
  5. Cookie sheet under the ramekin: Place a cookie sheet under the ramekin when baking. This will catch any juices that may overflow, preventing them from falling to the bottom of the oven and making cleanup easier.
  6. Check for doneness: Bake until the topping is golden brown. If necessary, add a few extra minutes to achieve the perfect texture.
  7. Cool slightly before serving: Let the cobbler cool slightly after baking to avoid burning your mouth and to allow the filling to set a bit.
  8. Add ice cream: For an extra treat, serve your warm peach cobbler with a couple of scoops of vanilla ice cream on top.
