Peach and Blueberry Cobbler
This easy Peach Blueberry Cobbler is the perfect summer dessert made with juicy peaches, sweet blueberries, and a golden, crunchy topping. Whether you’re using fresh or frozen fruit, this recipe comes together quickly and bakes into a warm, bubbly cobbler that’s perfect with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
⭐ Don’t Skip This If You Want The Best Cobbler You’ve Ever Had
This cobbler recipe has gotten comments like “It was devoured in one sitting which is high praise indeed!” and “Best peach cobbler I’ve ever made, I think it’s the way the top sugar is prepared.” So be prepared for greatness!
If you want that golden, crunchy topping and perfectly balanced fruit filling, these are the two things that make or break this cobbler:
- The sugar + hot water topping
- This might seem simple, but it’s the secret to that crispy, caramelized crust on top.
- 👉 Make sure you fully coat the granulated sugar with boiling water — this is what creates that signature texture
- Using frozen fruit
- Frozen peaches and blueberries actually work better here — they hold their shape and release juices more evenly as they bake.
- 👉 I always keep frozen fruit on hand so I can make this anytime without extra prep
Peach and Blueberry Cobbler Ingredients
Other than the frozen fruits – you have all these ingredients in your pantry! I always keep a bag of peaches in the freezer – so I can make this peach blueberry cobbler with frozen fruit on a whim! Here’s what you need:
- Peaches – frozen peaches bake evenly and just so darned easy!!!
- You can use fresh or canned – if using canned be sure to drain them.
- I used 16 oz but you could add more peaches – up to 32 oz.
- Blueberries – frozen blueberries bake more evenly and help prevent the filling from becoming overly watery
- I used 10 oz and would keep it to 10-12 oz because the blueberries can tend to take over the flavor and color.
- White Sugar – I always use white sugar but you can use brown sugar in the batter if you like as well
- Butter – softened & unsalted
- Flour – all purpose flour is good here – we’re almost making a cake batter for the topping
- Milk – any milk is fine but I always use 2%
- Miscellaneous – coarse sea salt, baking powder, cornstarch
- Boiling water – the key to the magic crust!!! This is what creates the signature crispy topping (don’t skip or reduce this step).
Make it Quicker & Easier
- Brown Sugar – a friend of mine used this recipe in a contest and swapped out brown sugar in the batter and it was so good! Definitely added a layer of richness.
- Fresh Fruit – you can definitely use fresh fruit – it just is a lot more work for the fresh peaches! Peeling and slicing – plus there’s only about 2-3 days a year when we can even get the perfect peaches here in Cincinnati!
- Other Fruit – I’ve made cobbler with peach & strawberries, peaches alone, triple berry and even apples!

- Sprinkle boiling water over ALL of sugar – this is where the MAGIC happens! Be sure every grain is covered with water!

I used a toothpick and it came out clean but the topping was not done – so I went with a spoon to really check.
