Ingredients notes
Gluten-Free Flour: My favorite gluten-free & dairy-free flour blends to use are Better Batter and Pamela’s Artisan Blend. I’ve been using them both with excellent results. They are both one-to-one substitutes. If you use a different gluten-free flour blend, be sure it contains xanthan gum. If not, add 1/2 teaspoon of xanthan gum per cup of flour.
Dairy-Free Butter: Suggested brands include Country Crock Plant-Based with Avocado Oil, Smart Balance, or Earth Balance.
Instructions
- Place peaches, 3/4 cup sugar, and cornstarch together in a medium pot. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently. Continue with the rest of the recipe while the peaches are cooking just keep an eye on them and stir frequently.
- Stir almond milk and apple cider vinegar together in a cup and let sit.
- Place buttery spread in a 9 x 13″ casserole dish. Turn oven on to 350°. Put the casserole dish in the oven to let the butter melt. The buttery spread will take about 5-6 minutes to melt.
- In a medium bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together. Stir in the milk mixture.
- Remove the casserole dish from the oven and pour the batter mixture over the melted buttery spread. Don’t stir, but you can lightly spread the batter out if needed. Spoon peach mixture evenly over the batter mixture. Again, don’t stir.
- Bake for 50-55 minutes until golden brown.
- It’s good if it is served warm, at room temperature, or cold.
How to peel a peach:
To quickly peel a peach, submerge it in boiling water for 30 seconds, remove it, and put it in ice water. Let them stay in the ice water for a few minutes to cool off enough to handle. You may need to use a paring knife to start with, but the peeling will come right off.
If you don’t want to mess with the boiling water, peel them with a paring knife. It’ll take a little more effort to peel, but it’s still not hard.
Also, if you don’t want to peel your peaches, you don’t have to. The pealing will get soft while the cobbler is baking and still taste great.
How to serve and store
Serve peach cobbler warm, room temperature, or cold. It’s delicious all three ways. It can be left out on the counter covered for a couple of days, but any longer than that, you should put it in the refrigerator. (If it has even lasted that long.)

I made this recipe today and it turned out GREAT!! I doubled it to feed my family of 7! We added nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger, a hint of cardamom. Thanks for sharing.
MamaShire
Yay! And the added spices sound terrific!
Cris
Would love to try this! Thanks for recipe with apple cider vinegar/almond milk. What suggestions do u have if u cannot use cornstarch?
Thanks
MamaShire
You can use tapioca starch or arrowroot starch.
Sarah
Cobbler is my most favorite dessert!!!! Thanks so much for a gluten free option. I can’t wait to make it.
MamaShire
You’re so welcome! I’d love to hear how you like it.
Raquel
Can coconut milk be used as a replacement for the almond/cashew milk?
MamaShire
Yes, it might change the flavor a little but it should work.
Deborah
Thank you for this recipe, going to give it a whirl soon.
It sounds delicious.
MamaShire
You’re so welcome! You’ll have to let me know how you like it.
Dana
I’m making this as we speak! Can’t wait to see how it turns out!😁
MamaShire
That’s exciting!
Nadia
What other gluten free flour can I use if I don’t have that on hand?
MamaShire
So my favorite gluten-free flour blend is Better Batter, but if you don’t have that then I think Pamela’s Artisan Blend or Pillsbury Gluten-Free blend would be good choices. They are both dairy-free as well. But if you have a favorite blend already then go with that one.
Doris
Can you use regular flour?
Kathy
How long do you cook the peaches? I’m teaching teen grandsons to cook, so I need to be specific. This sounds delicious. Thanks.
MamaShire
Have them cook while preparing the other steps. It will take about 8-10 minutes. That’s so sweet that you’re teaching your grandsons to cook. Have fun!
Kendall
Fantastic recipe! I substituted the peaches for apple pie filling and it was so delicious! Crunchy crust on the outside, and soft and fluffy on the inside. I will definitely be making this a staple dessert
MamaShire
Oh, that sounds amazing! Thanks for the idea!
Val
This has been a go-to recipe this summer. It’s so yummy.
MamaShire
So glad you’re enjoying it!
Kristen
What does the apple cider vinegar do? Thank you.
MamaShire
Mixing it with the almond milk is creating mock buttermilk. If you don’t have any it can be left out.
Katy
Made this with canned peaches. It was a hit.
MamaShire
That’s great!
Vickie S.
I made this last night for company. Wow! It was amazing. There was none left. People went back for seconds. You have such a complete understanding of how GF flour works. EVERY one of your recipes that I have tried has turned out fantastic. Thank you so much. People don’t even know what they are eating is gluten free. My daughter says thank you too. She’s at college and made your pot pie and was so pleased. She said it was delicious.
MamaShire
Vickie, thank you so much. That makes me so happy to hear that my recipes are working so well for you. ❤️
Jodi Sweet
I can’t use anything with nuts. Can I use regular milk?
MamaShire
Yes, you can use regular milk.
Annie
If I’m using dairy butter do I use the same amount? This looks amazing! I can’t wait to try it! Maybe I’ll give a summer twist to the Super-Bowl Sunday potluck.
MamaShire
Yes, use the same amount of regular butter. 🙂
Patty
Can I make this ahead and put in refrigerator than bake when hours later?
MamaShire
This would be best baked immediately after mixing. You can reheat it by covering it in foil and baking it at 350° for 20 minutes.
Janina
I make this swapping out sugar, for coconut sugar. Very good! Also have tried it with blueberries instead of peaches.
MamaShire
That sounds great!
Melanie
Yum! This is really good. I used Bob’s Red Mill gf flour (my fave), arrowroot powder (what I had), real butter (I can tolerate it over other dairy), 1/4 cup less sugar, and it was perfect. Now to stop myself from eating the whole pan. This is a keeper!
MamaShire
I’m glad it was a hit! And thanks for sharing how you adjusted the recipe to fit for you!
LD
I think the author should double check her instructions as it didn’t make sense to mix the dry ingredients with the fresh peaches in the saucepan. There was no moisture to cook it. I then had to pour it into a bowl & microwave it. I then poured the peach mixture into the pan (after I poured the melted butter out). I then drizzled all the butter on top of the peach mixture to make sure it would turn out right. Luckily it did and it was very good!!

I tried making this recipe just now and (with following the recipe) the batter came out really runny to the point that I couldn’t put it into the pan without it mixing in with the butter mix and the peaches just sank into it as well. Any idea what could fix this next go around?
MamaShire
Well, I’m not sure exactly what happened but each layer just kind of combines on its own. Did you bake it? How did it turn out?
Hunter Ellwood
Yes, I continued to bake it and it did come out pretty soft and not so crumbly. But overall it still tasted good!
connie
I made this with coconut milk and it tasted pretty good; I will try it next time with almond milk. I added vanilla also. Was very good
MamaShire
Thanks for letting me know and that coconut milk works too.
