Microwave Peach Cobbler, with soft, sweet peaches peeking out between islands of biscuit dough sprinkled with cinnamon sugar, is cooked in just one minute in the microwave. All the peachy pleasures of summer at a moments notice!
Why you'll love this recipe
Traditionally, a cobbler is baked in the oven. These individual cobblers are cooked in the microwave, but are surprisingly similar in flavor and texture to the “real thing”; sweet peaches covered in cinnamon sugar biscuit dough.
Bisquick or Jiffy Mix combined with canned peach pie filling and sprinkled with cinnamon sugar, creates an instant cobbler without turning on the oven. If shelf stable ingredients are not required, sliced fresh peaches can be used. Canned peaches or fresh, this easy cobbler tastes delicious.
The shelf stable ingredients can be kept on hand to create individual servings of cobbler any time of year in just one minute. Pop the ingredients and recipe in a care package for college students or military and ship the best of summer in a box.

Tips

- For easy cleaning, use cooking spray on mugs and bowls before adding the ingredients.
- Other canned or fresh fruit can be used for a variety of fruit cobblers.

Instead of canned pie filling try using individual snack fruit cups.
Wendy Sondov
You can probably use snack cups with great results but may need to experiment with moisture. The pie filling is both chunks and liquid which helps the biscuit mix turn into cobbler. Just experiment with adding a tablespoon of the juice in the cup to one mug and see if you need to adapt up or down from there.

Can't wait to try this recipe?

Thanks, Billie! I hope you enjoy your cobbler. 🙂

So interesting, Wendy...I imagine that it would be quite a culture shock moving to the South from the North and vice versa. I am amazed that you can turn a peach cobbler into a 3-2-1 recipe. It makes it so accessible and a great way to have instant gratification. I love being able to pull a wonderful dessert "out of a hat". This would be impressive.
The Monday Box
Thanks, Monica! Each area of the US is sooo different from the other and there are people who love each place and call it home. 🙂 First, I tried this cobbler with regular 3-2-1 cake mix. It made peach cake. I was delighted when the Bisquick worked! It really does taste like Southern peach cobbler! 🙂
Reeni
All these 3-2-1 recipes! You could write a cookbook! Peaches are one of the best things about summer! Sadly I haven't had a chance to bake with them yet. These little cobblers looks absolutely delicious.
The Monday Box
Thanks, Reeni! 3-2-1 recipes are some of the most popular recipes on The Monday Box, so I keep creating more. 🙂 This cobbler was actually a request from a reader. It is the first time I have used baking mix (Bisquick) in a 3-2-1 recipe, and it works!
Ashley
Agreed! Peach season is the best! And they are finally getting good by us - which means I've been buying a ridiculous amount lol
This 3-2-1 cobbler is so fun!
The Monday Box
Thanks, Ashley! Can one live on only peaches? I would be willing to try. 🙂

"One of the best parts of summer is peach season." - COULDN'T AGREE MORE! i spend most of the winter and spring thinking about when exactly the peaches will be ripe here; definitely one of those fruits i wish could be available year-round (but always with that special midsummer flavor.) I love peach cobbler, too: i'm a little upset/worried that i know how to make a single-serve peach cobbler so easy now, thanks to you. I shouldn't know how to do this, TRUST me. 🙂
The Monday Box
Its always disappointing to eat an out of season peach (or even a not-quite peach season peach)! You are dreaming of that drip-down-your-chin juicy sweet peach and get eh instead. Here's the plan with the cobbler: Eat all of the wonderful peaches fresh now, then in the winter when nothing fresh is worth eating, make a little individual cobbler with canned peaches when ever you are feeling nostalgic for the summer. 🙂
Tricia @ Saving room for dessert
Being a GRITS (girl raised in the south) myself - I adjusted to the southern ways but felt out of place when I moved to Colorado at the age of 18 and was relentlessly harassed about my accent. "Fixing to" - was not a common phrase in Denver - go figure 🙂 Anyway I love peach cobbler, and yes I love grits too. Biscuits and gravy is the greatest invention ever and I feel sure I can loose an accent quicker than anybody I know! It comes back after a few drinks every now and then. Lovely post!
The Monday Box
Thanks, Tricia! Each area of the US is quite different from the others in so many ways. I went to elementary school in the North, High School in the South, and college in the Midwest, where I have lived most of my life. I feel lucky to have been able to choose the place I feel most comfortable. I would fully agree that biscuits are a great invention...but I prefer mine with butter. Obviously, 4 years in SC did NOT make me a GRITS! 🙂 I think I may be your opposite when it comes to accents. I pick up accents where ever I go! People can never figure out where I am from. 🙂
