Easy Mini Peach Cobbler with Fresh Peaches
This Mini Peach Cobbler combines fresh juicy peaches, a golden brioche french toast and it’s topped with an orange cinnamon flavor- both from the zest and the juices. They are baked in individual mini pie dishes- a fun twist on a classic peach cobbler. And yes- it’s even better served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top!

This recipe is inspired by a French Toast Peach Cobbler I learned from Cooking Light back in the day. Instead of a traditional cake topping for the cobbler, this recipe uses a thick piece of brioche that’s soaked in an orange-cinnamon custard and then baked over the peach filling.

How to make Mini Peach Cobblers
Step One: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F .
Step Two: Rinse the peaches well and pat dry. Peel the peaches and discard the pit. Slice into medium thickness about ¼ inch.
Step Three:In a large sauce pot on low heat, combine the peaches with 1/2 cup of sugar and the all purpose flour. Stir to combine and let it cook for about 8-10 minutes, consistently stirring. When done, set aside.
Step Four: For the brioche bread you can either cut the crust off or keep it on if you like and then cut it into about 3-4 segments. Set aside.
Step Five: In a small bowl, add the orange zest, orange juice, cinnamon, eggs and remaining ½ cup sugar. Stir to combine and add the splash of milk.
Step Six: Place the pie dishes onto a large sheet pan. Divide and pour the melted butter into the pie pans. Evenly divide the peach mixture into the dishes.
Step Seven: Take the sliced brioche bread and dip until soaked into the orange-cinnamon french toast mixture. Place the bread on top of the peaches. Pour any remaining peach juices on top and dust with cinnamon.
Step Eight: Place into the oven and let it bake for 30-35 minutes (rotating once) or until the brioche is a nice golden brown. When done, carefully remove and let it cool. Serve warm as is or a scoop of your favorite vanilla ice cream on top.
Storing and reheating
Cool completely and cover with saran wrap or foil. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the cobblers in the oven at 350 degrees F and let them warm up for about 10 minutes. Or use the microwave for individual servings, in 20 second intervals.
Helpful tips for this Mini Peach Cobblers recipe
- I use 6 inch glass mini pie pans. To make individual peach cobbler without the mini pie dish, you can use a regular size muffin tin. Use the same amounts for the recipe however just divide it evenly between the tins. I would adjust the baking time, as this may bake faster in a muffin tin.
- Substitute fresh peaches with jarred or canned peaches.
- Brioche bread can be found in regular grocery stores. I get mine at Trader Joe’s but it’s a top seller so when I grocery shop often they are out of it. I substitute it with their Brioche Hot Dog Buns (which is what I used for this a few times) . It’s just the same (well ok it is a different shape) and even costs less than the loaf.
- Place pie dishes on a sheet pan. This will prevent any peach juices from spilling into your oven. And it makes it easier to transport from your baking station to the oven.
- Check on the cobbler after 25-30 minutes. If it starts to brown quickly, place a foil tent over the top.
Serving suggestions
- Serve mini peach cobblers warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top or dollop of whipped cream,
- Finish with a dusting of powdered sugar or more cinnamon.
- Add crunch with toasted crushed pecans or walnuts over the top.
- Top with greek yogurt and berries or more peaches.

Notes
Let cool completely and cover the baking dish with saran wrap or foil. Place in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for about 45 seconds. Helpful tips:
- Place pie dishes on a sheet pan. This will prevent any peach juices from spilling into your oven. And it makes it easier to transport from your baking station to the oven.
- Canned or fresh peaches can be used.
- This makes 2 6-inch cobblers. If using smaller ramekins or dish, this can make 4 mini’s.
- I used braided brioche from Trader Joe’s when making this recipe and it also works with their brioche hot dog buns ( also recipe tested with it) if their regular brioche is out of stock.
