Have you ever seen a recipe and just knew you had to try it?

That’s what happened the minute I saw this recipe for Peach Cranberry Cobbler in an old cookbook I purchased from a thrift store a few months ago. The flavor combo grabbed me from the get-go. Not to mention, I don’t think there could be a dish filled with more Fall colors!

The tender sweet peaches combine beautifully with the tartness of the cranberries. The recipe calls for canned peaches…but you could certainly use fresh peaches, or peach pie filling with a few minor adjustments.

This dish can be served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a big dollop of whipped cream sprinkled with a little nutmeg. It’s the perfect dessert for a chilly Fall evening!

What you’ll need to make this Cranberry Peach Cobbler

2 (16-ounce) cans of sliced peaches in light syrup, drained, or 2 (12-ounce) cans of peach pie filling. The original recipe calls for sliced peaches. However, you can use pie filling, or even fresh peaches using my suggestions below.
1 (12-ounce) can whole berry cranberry sauce
½ C fresh, or frozen, cranberries
1 package Cinnamon Swirl Muffin Mix – I used Krusteaz Cinnamon Swirl Crumb Cake & Muffin Mix
½ C chopped pecans
1/3 C butter, melted
4 Tablespoons butter, melted – this is for the cinnamon swirl mix in the muffin mix. However, if your muffing mix comes with a pre-made liquid cinnamon swirl packet, you can skip the butter addition.
Whipped topping or ice cream

How To Make Cranberry Peach Dump Cake Cobbler

Preheat oven to 350 °F.

Cut peach slices into chunks so that they are bite-sized pieces. No one wants a whole big slice of peach hanging out of their mouths! Lol

In a large bowl, combine diced peach slices and one can of whole berry cranberry sauce. Add whole fresh cranberries. Stir until combined.

Place peach and cranberry filling into an ungreased 9 x 9-inch square baking dish.

TIP:It’s very important you use a 9 x 9-inch baking or the filling will overflow the pan during baking. Especially if you’re using peach pie filling in place of the sliced peaches.

Aren’t those colors stunning?!!

Cinnamon Filling for peaches and cranberries

In a small bowl, combine the cinnamon filling packet and 4 tablespoons of melted butter. Stir until well incorporated. Drizzle the cinnamon mixture over the peaches and cranberry filling.

NOTE: If the cinnamon swirls muffin mix you purchase comes with a cinnamon swirl packet that is liquid and can be kneaded, do NOT add butter. Simply drizzle the contents of that cinnamon swirl mixture over the fruit.

It doesn’t need to be pretty! The top is going to be covered with the muffin mix crumb topping!

Crumb Topping Instructions

In a large bowl, combine muffin mix, pecans, and any topping packet from the mix. Add melted 1/3 cup of butter. Stir until thoroughly blended. Mixture should be crumbly.

Sprinkle crumbs evenly over fruit.

Baking Instructions

I highly recommend placing a baking dish on a baking sheet to prevent any spillage from baking like tar to the bottom of your oven! Unless you L.O.V.E. cleaning your oven! Then, by all means, skip this step. I’m just not a fan of burning cobbler filling!

Bake in preheated oven for 40–45 minutes or until lightly browned and bubbly. Remove from oven

Recipe Wrap-up

I have to tell you all something! There’s nothing I love more than when a fruit filling bubbles over, and you can see all the glorious colors of the glaze-filled fruit underneath! “It’s like the Sanderson Sister’s calling to you…lol. “Come little cobbler eaters, and I’ll tell you a tale…Buwahahaha”!

Questions and Answers about Fruit Cobblers

Can I use Fresh Peaches or pie filling in place of the canned peaches? Yes! As I mentioned above, you can use fresh peaches, approx. 4 cups diced fresh peaches tossed in about 2 tablespoons of flour and 2 tablespoons of sugar. If using pie filling, just use as is, but you may want to use a slightly larger baking pan.
Can a fruit cobbler be made ahead of time? Yes…but you’ll want to keep the peaches and cranberries separate from the topping until ready to bake!
Do I need to refrigerate the cobbler? Like most baked goods, you do not need to refrigerate them, but you do want to cover it loosely with saran wrap and store them in a cool dry place. About 3–4 days. You can, however, keep it a few days longer, 4–5 days, if you store it in the refrigerator.
Can this cobbler be reheated? Yes! Reheat in microwave oven for 45 seconds to 1 minute to serve warm. BE sure NOT to place a metal baking dish in microwave!
My cobbler is runny. What did I do wrong? Most likely you didn’t do anything wrong, other than not allowing it to cool long enough. As cobblers cool, the filling thickens! It could also mean the fruit you used was a little juicer than anticipated, if using fresh fruit. However, the flour in the muffin mix should help to thicken the filling if allowed to cool sufficiently.
