Jiffy Peach Cobbler
My Grandmother used to make this peach cobbler. She called this recipe her Jiffy Peach Cobbler. She would use either a can of peaches or 3 or 4 fresh peaches.
What Makes This Bisquick Peach Cobbler So Special?
This recipe represents the perfect marriage of convenience and comfort food satisfaction. Unlike traditional cobblers that require making pastry from scratch, this version uses Bisquick baking mix to create a tender, golden topping that’s remarkably similar to homemade biscuits. The beauty lies in its simplicity and reliability, making it accessible to bakers of all skill levels while delivering results that rival more complex recipes. It’s the dessert that converts pie skeptics and creates lasting family memories.
Why This Recipe Works
The success of this cobbler lies in understanding how Bisquick functions as both a convenience product and a legitimate baking ingredient. The pre-mixed flour, baking powder, and shortening create consistent results, while adding milk transforms it into tender, flaky biscuits. The tapioca is a gentle thickener that allows the peach juices to create a luscious sauce without becoming gluey or overly thick.
Peach Cobbler Bisquick Topped Dessert Ingredients
For the Peach Filling:
- Canned peaches in natural juice – Provides consistent sweetness and texture while eliminating seasonal availability concerns
- Instant tapioca – Acts as a gentle thickener that creates silky sauce without cloudiness
- Ground cinnamon – Adds warmth and enhances the natural peach flavor with aromatic spice
For the Bisquick Topping:
- Bisquick baking mix – Creates tender, biscuit-like topping with consistent results and convenience
- Whole milk – Provides richness and helps create the proper dough consistency for perfect texture
Ingredient Notes
Use canned peaches that are packaged in their natural fruit juice and not in syrup. Del Monte’s Yellow Cling Peaches is a good choice.
You can use another baking mix similar to Bisquick, such as Jiffy All-Purpose Baking Mix, or make your own baking mix.
How to Make This Easy Peach Cobbler Recipe With Bisquick
To make a peach cobbler Bsquick style:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Combine the peaches with their juice, tapioca, and cinnamon in a bowl and stir until the tapioca dissolves.
- Transfer the peach mixture to a lightly greased 9-inch pie plate or 8-inch square baking pan.
- Use a rubber spatula or the rounded handle of a wooden cooking spoon to mix the Bisquick and whole milk into a stiff dough. It will be similar to dough for biscuits.
- Form the Bisquick mixture into six equal discs and use them to cover the top of the peach mixture.
- Bake the peach cobbler for 20 to 25 minutes until the crust topping is golden brown.
- Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving.
Recipe Modifications & Fruit Variations
Alternative Fruits:
- Mixed Berries: Use fresh blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries with 1/4 cup water since they don’t release as much juice
- Stone Fruits: Try plums, nectarines, or apricots using the same preparation method as fresh peaches
- Pie Fillings: Cherry, blueberry, or apple pie fillings work well and eliminate the need for tapioca
Flavor Enhancements:
- Spice Blend: Add 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg to the cinnamon for warmer flavor complexity
- Vanilla Extract: Add 1/2 teaspoon to the peach mixture for aromatic depth
- Lemon Zest: Include grated lemon zest to brighten the fruit flavors
Topping Variations:
- Sweet Biscuits: Add 1 tablespoon sugar to the Bisquick mixture for a sweeter topping
- Cinnamon Sugar: Sprinkle mixture of cinnamon and sugar over dough before baking
- Oat Topping: Mix rolled oats into the Bisquick for textural interest
What to Serve With Peach Cobbler
A dollop of homemade whipped cream, Cool Whip, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream goes well with this Peach Cobbler.
Storage & Reheating Instructions
- Room Temperature Storage: Cool completely and cover tightly. In moderate climates, store for up to 2 days at room temperature.
- Refrigerated Storage: Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 3 days. The texture may soften, but the flavors remain excellent.
- Freezing Instructions: Cool completely, wrap tightly in plastic or aluminum foil, and freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
- Reheating Method: Bring to room temperature for 15 minutes, then reheat covered portions in 250°F oven for 15 minutes until warmed through.

- 1 cup Bisquick baking mix
- 1/3 cup milk

Notes
If using fresh peaches, cut up enough peaches to yield about 4 cups of cut peaches. Add 3 tablespoons of sugar to the peaches and wait for juice to form.
FYI: the recipe says 45 minutes for prep and baking, not 25 as your page states.
