I love making peach cobbler for one because it has everything I want in a dessert. Juicy peaches bubble under a golden, buttery crust. This mini peach cobbler is so simple to bake, yet it always feels like a special treat, perfectly portioned as an individual cobbler just for me.
This individual peach cobbler uses 1 cup of sliced peaches, about one fresh peach, but frozen peaches work just as well. For more single serving peach recipes, try our single serving peach crisp, small batch peach scones, or small peach dutch baby.

- Peach: Fresh peaches are best when in season, but frozen peaches (1 cup, sliced) or canned peaches (drained) work well too. Choose ripe peaches for the best flavor:
- Look at the Color: Yellow peaches should have a deep golden hue, while white peaches should be creamy yellow.
- Check Firmness: Peaches should be firm but give slightly when pressed with your palm, not rock-hard or mushy.
- Smell for Sweetness: A ripe peach will have a fragrant, sweet aroma. No scent usually means it’s underripe.
- Lemon juice: Adds brightness and balances the sweetness. Fresh or bottled both work. Extra lemon juice? Try it in a mini lemon cake.
- Milk: Whole milk works best, but 2% or non-dairy options like almond or soy milk can also be used. For a vegan peach cobbler for one, simply choose a plant-based milk.
- Flour: All-purpose flour is ideal. For a mini gluten-free peach cobbler, substitute with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.

Peach cobbler is best served warm, but leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, microwave in short intervals or bake at 350°F for about 10 minutes after bringing it to room temperature.
Yes! You can prep the peach filling and topping separately and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. When ready, assemble and bake. This keeps the topping light and prevents it from absorbing moisture.

This was amazing! I didnt have a small enough dish for a one-portion sized peach cobbler nor a small can(i had about 2 cups worth of canned peaches from the store) so i doubled the recipe and it turned out great. And it turned out the 2 portion sized dish was enough for me(i have a big appetite and a huge sweet tooth). Im not sure how it would’ve turned out with fresh peaches, but the canned peaches turned out tender and with some thick syrup(likely from maserating from the sugar and lemon juice) and it was delicious. Will definitely make this recipe a fall/winter favourite!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the cobbler! I love hearing how well it turned out for you.
I very much enjoyed the single serving cobbler. Normally, I pass on dessert because I live alone and don’t want too much around. Very fun!!
I should have taken a picture. Used 1 medium peach, cut into small slices and followed recipe, no substitutions or changes. It was delicious. Thank you for having this website. I use your recipes often. They help me adjust family recipes to smaller portions as well.
Don’t know why but the top never baked or got hard
That hasn’t been a common issue with this recipe, so it’s possible your oven may be running a bit cool or unevenly. When that happens, the topping may not bake up as expected. If you give it another try, you might consider using an oven thermometer to double check the temperature. I hope it works out better next time!
This was a tasty little dessert. I cooked it for 25-28 min. Unfortunately the top eas VERY HARD. Kind of like breaking through a creme brulee hard. The underside was yummy. I followed your recipe to a T. Oh well I still ate it. Thank you.
I
made this recipe with some of the first peaches of the season (not the best) not expecting it to be too good but it surprised me because it was delicious!! I’m looking forward to making it again.
I cooked this. i used can peaches as thats what i had on hand very nice . Annette.
Made this tonight. Used brown sugar since it was what I had on hand. My peaches were a little tart. So it was even more on the tart side. We still liked it very much. Even my husband that doesn’t care for cobblers liked it ! Great dessert !! Will make again.
I used canned peaches because that’s what I had. After I put the batter on top of the fruit, I sprinkled it with a cinnamon/sugar mixture and then baked it. I’ve been doing this same cinnamon/sugar mix on a blueberry cobbler for two that I’ve been making for years. I really enjoyed this peach one.
