Cook’s Note: If you don’t have peaches, fresh berries or other stone fruit will work just as well.
Cobblers originated in the British American colonies.
The origin of the name cobbler, recorded from 1859, is uncertain: it may be related to the archaic word cobeler, meaning “wooden bowl”.
It was the Dutch and English immigrants to America who brought the traditional pie recipes and adapted them to what was available in the New World.
As settlers began moving westward in the early 19th century, their access to fruit such as peaches, cherries, and plums became more difficult.
The settlers made do with what they had: dried or syrup-preserved fruit, a recipe for biscuit dough, and an open fire, creating a rustic pie we know today as the cobbler.
If you aren’t familiar with a cobbler, it’s an American deep-dish fruit dessert or pie with a thick crust (usually a biscuit crust) and fruit filling, in this case, peach!

In a medium bowl, mix the flour and sugar.
Stir in the milk and the reserved syrup to the sugar mixture.
Pour the batter over the melted butter in the baking dish.
Arrange the peaches over the batter.
Line the peaches in rows, in a single layer.
