Begin the recipe by preheating the oven to 350 degrees F. and grabbing an 8x8-inch square baking dish. Set aside. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the ½ cup of granulated sugar, 1 cup self-rising flour, and a pinch of salt.
In a small saucepan over medium heat add in the ½ cup butter, 15 ounce can of peaches, the other ½ cup of granulated sugar, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ¼ teaspoon allspice.
Bring the mixture to a low simmer, about 3 to 5 minutes. At this point be sure to taste the peach mixture and adjust the spices to your preference.
Pour warm peach mixture into the 8×8-inch square baking pan.
Grab the mixing bowl that contains the flour mixture and whisk in the 1 cup milk until the mixture is fully combined. Slowly pour the milk mixture evenly over the peaches in the baking pan.
Place the baking dish into the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 35 minutes, until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
Carefully remove from the oven and allow the peach cobbler to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm with a scoop of your favorite ice cream, whipped topping, or by itself.
Store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat before serving or enjoy cold.

For more flavor, feel free to increase the spice amount and/or add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the peach mixture.

Use canned peaches that are sliced or diced. I prefer to use peaches in heavy syrup when making peach cobbler.

Keep in mind the texture of this easy peach cobbler recipe has a more cakey and dense texture, unlike pie crusts or peach crisp which is usually made with oats.

I do not recommend substituting fresh peaches for canned peaches in this recipe.
