Ingredients
If you have any ingredients leftover from this single serve peach cobbler recipe, check out our Leftover Ingredients Recipe Finder.
- Peach: Fresh peaches are best when in season, but canned or frozen (1 cup, sliced) work too. Peeling is optional. If using fresh peaches, choose ripe ones 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.
- Sugar: Use granulated sugar.
- Lemon juice: Adds brightness and balances the sweetness. Fresh or bottled both work. Extra lemon juice? Try it in a Mini Lemon Cake.
- Flour: Use all-purpose flour.
- Baking powder: Helps the topping rise. Check that it’s fresh for the best results.
- Vanilla and cinnamon: Add great flavor.
- Milk: Use any percentage of cow’s milk, almond, or soy milk.
Recipe Variations
This mini peach cobbler is my go-to, but you can easily change it up:
- Berry Cobbler: Add a handful of mixed berries for extra fruitiness.
- Spiced Cobbler: Stir in a pinch of cardamom or allspice for a warm flavor.
- Crunchy Topping: Sprinkle chopped almonds or walnuts on top before baking.

These step-by-step photos and instructions help you visualize how to make an individual peach cobbler. See the recipe box below for ingredient amounts and full recipe instructions.
- Prep the Peaches: Heat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place sliced peaches in a 10-ounce ramekin and stir in sugar, lemon juice, vanilla, and cinnamon. Set aside.

- Assemble: Place the ramekin on a baking sheet. Pour the batter evenly over the peaches.

Expert Tips
- Slice Evenly: Cut peaches into 1/4-inch slices for even cooking and a consistent texture.
- Know When It’s Done: Bake until the topping is golden and syrup bubbles around the edges.
- Check Your Ramekin Size: Use a 10-ounce ramekin (about 4 inches wide and 1 3/4 inches tall). To check the size, fill it with water and measure the volume.
Peach Cobbler Toppings

Frequently Asked Questions
Double the ingredients and use two 10-ounce ramekins or one 5×5-inch baking dish.
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.
If the batter thickens in the fridge, stir in a little milk until it’s pourable before baking.

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.
