Old-Fashioned Peach and Blueberry Cobbler
For the best summer dessert, we love this Old-Fashioned Peach and Blueberry Cobbler made with fresh peaches and blueberries, under a layer of buttery cobbler topping. Pour the boiling water over the top and bake, for this old-fashioned cobbler recipe from my mom!
I love a good summer cobbler. The kind that comes to the table warm, fresh out of the oven, and served with vanilla ice cream. Everyone loves an old-fashioned peach and blueberry cobbler, and this one is perfect to celebrate the 4th of July, summer birthdays, or for an evening barbecue.
Old-Fashioned Peach and Blueberry Cobbler
This Peach Blueberry Cobbler is truly a scrumptious treat! If you’re taking it to a party, you might want take it unbaked (skip the last step of pouring the boiling water over the mixture), and then do that step right before putting in the oven. Blueberries and peaches go so well together!

- Sugar
- Flour
- Cornstarch
- Salt
- Baking powder
- Milk
- Vanilla
- Almond extract
How do you make Old-Fashioned Peach and Blueberry Cobbler?
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Spray a 9×13 pan with cooking spray. On the bottom, lay the fresh peaches and blueberries. Squeeze juice of 1 lemon over the berries.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the melted butter, milk, sugar, salt, baking powder, flour, vanilla, and almond extract. Pour over the fruit.
- In the same bowl, add the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar and 2 Tbsp cornstarch. Mix together and sprinkle on top of the cobbler mixture.
- Over the entire cobbler, pour 2 cups of boiling water.
- Bake for 1 hour. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
Tips and substitutions:
- Optional to use frozen peaches or blueberries. The cobbler may be a tiny bit juicier, but it will be amazing!
- Oh, and the secret ingredient? Almond extract! Of course you can make this recipe without it, but for my favorite taste, I love the almond spin.
- I was so happy to find peaches at Costco. Let them sit on the counter for a couple of days, and then they will be perfect for this juicy cobbler.
- Do not skimp on the 2 cups of boiling water. It’s magical – it works and makes the best cobbler!
- QUICK TIIP: Place a sheet pan under the baking dish while in the oven. It tends to bubble over a bit during baking. No one wants a baked on blueberry mess to clean up!

Made this yesterday and everybody loved it! Used locally grown peaches that were delicious in and of themselves. Ended up using frozen wild grown blueberries because nothing fresh of good quality was available in our area grocery stores. We topped it off with a simple (uncooked) homemade vanilla ice cream that uses only four ingredients…whole milk, heavy cream, sugar, and pure vanilla extract. My favorite part of any cobbler is the biscuit crust and this did not disappoint. Even though the peaches were large, I only used four. Should’ve added at least one more (maybe two) to keep the cobbler from being a bit too juicy. Nonetheless, it was delicious and this recipe is a keeper. Thank you for sharing! I will definitely be checking out your website for more inspiration. Cheers!
Just made this yesterday. Must say I was a tad skeptical about results of pouring boiling water over raw dough/batter. It is delicious! The crust is tender & has a great crunchy top. The cornstarch pulled the fruit filling together wonderfully. Not too sweet. It’s a keeper! Thank u for sharing!
Loved this recipe! Please remind your readers to place a sheet pan under the baking dish while in the oven. It tends to bubble over a bit during baking. No one wants a baked on blueberry mess to clean up!
Thanks Debra! Yes! I added that tip! :)
We thoroughly enjoyed this dessert; almost everyone wanted seconds! Very easy to make.
Agree, it’s so good. Thanks so much!
Oh. yum. Pinning this for sure since I’ll have blueberries soon and hope to get some Hood River peaches in the next few months.
SOOO delicious! I hope you make this all summer long so when I come over for dinner again we can have it on repeat!
