Lazy Man Peach Cobbler

Few desserts capture the taste of summer quite like peach cobbler. Sweet, juicy peaches baked under a golden, buttery crust make this Southern classic a family favorite. But what if you could have all that deliciousness with almost no effort? Enter the Lazy Man Peach Cobbler—a simple, dump-and-bake recipe that’s as easy as it gets. Whether you’re an experienced baker or a beginner, this cobbler is guaranteed to come out perfectly every time.

Why It’s Called “Lazy Man” Peach Cobbler

Unlike traditional cobblers that require mixing dough, rolling pastry, or layering fruit, this version is unbelievably simple. The secret? You just pour the batter into the baking dish, add peaches on top, and let the oven do the work. As it bakes, the batter rises up around the peaches, creating a soft, cake-like crust with golden, crispy edges. It’s the kind of dessert you can whip up in minutes with pantry staples.
