Mini Peach Cobblers made in mason jars are the perfect individual size portion dessert made with fresh or frozen peaches and blueberries that are full of flavor. Each jar gets fruit tossed in lemon juice, a brown sugar and butter crumble on top, and 25 minutes in the oven, so everyone gets their own cobbler with a crisp lid.

Three mini peach and blueberry cobblers in mason jars topped with whipped cream and mint.

I love making desserts in Mason Jars. These Peach and Blueberry Cobblers in Jars would be fun to decorate and give them as little gifts. Because when you bake for someone, it is like a gift. Don’t you think so?

I especially like these small jars that completely contain the dessert and you can add a lid to it for transporting, plus you can either decorate the lid or even add a homemade label to it if it is for a shower or birthday. I also included blueberries in this dessert because I think they look pretty and taste amazing together.

Quick Answer

How do you make mini peach cobblers in mason jars?

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and spray the inside of six 8 ounce jars with cooking spray, then place them in a baking pan. Add the lemon juice to the chopped peaches and blueberries and stir until coated, then divide the fruit between the jars. Using a pastry blender, blend the cold butter into the brown sugar and self rising flour until it resembles coarse crumbles, mix in the cinnamon, and sprinkle the mixture over the fruit. Bake for 25 minutes. Whip the cream and add a dollop on top with an optional sprinkle of cinnamon and a mint sprig.

Why This Recipe Works

Click to see the technique science

Cold butter is what makes a crumble. Blended into the flour and sugar with a pastry blender it stays in pieces, and those pieces melt in the oven and leave the topping crisp instead of pasty.
Self rising flour has the leavening built in. That is why there is no baking powder in the ingredient list. If you use all purpose, add half a teaspoon of baking powder to make up for it.
Lemon juice on the fruit first. It keeps the peaches from browning while you fill the jars and sharpens fruit that has gone very sweet.
Individual jars bake faster than one dish. Heat reaches the middle of an 8 ounce jar in 25 minutes, where a full cobbler dish would need closer to an hour.
Put the jars in a baking pan. Glass heats unevenly on a bare rack, and a pan makes six hot jars possible to move in one trip.
Blueberries are not just for looks. They hold their shape while peaches break down, so the filling keeps some texture instead of going to jam.
Let them cool 30 minutes before the cream. Whipped cream on a jar straight from the oven turns to liquid in seconds.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

Talk about a simple quick dessert. I forgot how easy these were to make.
Everyone gets their own. Individual portions mean no serving spoon and no arguing over the crumbly corner.
They travel. The jars completely contain the dessert and you can add a lid for transporting.
They make a gift. Decorate the lid or add a homemade label if it is for a shower or birthday. When you bake for someone, it is like a gift.
Fresh or frozen fruit. You can make them with fresh or frozen fruit, so this is not only a summer dessert.
You can scale it. You can also modify the recipe to make more or less, right down to a single jar.

Key Ingredients

Chopped fresh peaches and blueberries tossed together in a bowl.

Eight ingredients, most of them already in the kitchen. Quantities are in the recipe card below.

Peaches. Frozen, canned or fresh, chopped. Sixteen ounces between the six jars.
Blueberries. Fresh or frozen. I included blueberries because I think they look pretty and taste amazing together.
Lemon Juice. One tablespoon, tossed with the fruit before it goes in the jars.
Self Rising Flour. One cup. If you don’t have self rising, use all purpose and add half a teaspoon of baking powder.
Brown Sugar. One cup, for the crumble topping.
Cold Butter. Half a stick, straight from the refrigerator, blended in with a pastry blender.
Cinnamon. Two teaspoons in the topping and a sprinkle on the cream at the end.
Whipping Cream or whipped cream, optional for topping. And the mason jars themselves, which are the whole format of the dessert.

See the recipe card below for exact quantities and full instructions.

Variations & Substitutions

This recipe scales in both directions, and the fruit is entirely up to what you have.

Make it gluten free. You can make this peach cobbler gluten free by substituting gluten free flour for the self rising flour and adding half a teaspoon of salt and half a teaspoon of xanthan gum. My gluten free flour blend works here too.
Use frozen fruit. I hope you will take advantage of fresh peaches and blueberries while they are in season during the summer, but you can also use frozen fruits and make this all year.
Peaches only. Leave the blueberries out entirely if you want a straight peach cobbler.
Change the fruit. Blackberries, raspberries or sliced apples all work with the same crumble.
No self rising flour? Use all purpose and add half a teaspoon of baking powder.
Skip the cream. A scoop of vanilla ice cream melting into a warm jar is just as good.

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Whipped cream

How to Make Mini Peach Cobblers

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Spray the inside of six 8 oz jars with cooking spray, and place them in a baking pan.
Add the lemon juice to the fruit and stir until coated.
Place the peaches and blueberries in the jars equally.
Using a pastry blender, blend the butter into the sugar and flour until it resembles coarse crumbles.
Mix all the dry ingredients and sprinkle them on the top of the fruit.
Bake for 25 minutes.
Whip the cream and place a dollop on top, then add an optional sprinkle of cinnamon and a mint sprig if desired.

Recipe Tips & Tricks

Keep the butter cold until the moment it goes into the flour, or the topping bakes flat instead of crumbly.
Spray the jars properly. Cobbler sticks to glass, and a greased jar is also far easier to eat out of.
Set the jars in a baking pan for easy transfer in and out of the oven.
Divide the fruit evenly so all six finish at the same time.
Let them cool about 30 minutes before adding whipped cream.
Add lids for transporting, and decorate the lid or add a homemade label if they are a gift.

Serving Ideas & Suggestions

Serve them warm with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon, or cold out of the refrigerator the next morning. They belong on a summer table with my strawberry cheesecake in a jar and the rest of my desserts in a jar, and they work as party favors at a shower or a garden tea party.

If you are building a dessert table, my lemon bars, keto pumpkin bars, mini pumpkin cheesecakes, lemon bundt cake, mint chocolate chip cupcakes in a jar and strawberry mousse cupcakes all travel well too. For more baked fruit, there is my apple pie with lattice top crust, my crockpot bread pudding and my gluten free s’mores brownie pie, and everything else lives in my easy dessert recipes collection and my tea party desserts and afternoon tea posts.

Mini Peach Cobbler FAQs

Can I use frozen or canned peaches?

Yes. You can make them with fresh or frozen fruit, and canned works too. Take advantage of fresh peaches and blueberries while they are in season during the summer, but frozen fruit means you can make this all year.

How do I make these peach cobblers gluten free?

Substitute gluten free flour for the self rising flour and add half a teaspoon of salt and half a teaspoon of xanthan gum. See the notes in the recipe card.

What if I don’t have self rising flour?

Use all purpose flour and add half a teaspoon of baking powder to the cup of flour.

What size jars should I use?

Eight ounce jars, six of them. I like the small jars that completely contain the dessert, because you can put a lid on to transport them and decorate the lid if they are a gift.

Can I make them ahead of time?

Yes. Bake them, cool them, and keep them covered in the refrigerator for up to three days. Warm a jar for 20 seconds in the microwave before serving and add the whipped cream then, not before.

Can I bake this as one large cobbler instead?

Yes, in a baking dish, but the timing changes. A single dish needs closer to 45 minutes to an hour rather than 25, so start checking once the topping is golden and the fruit is bubbling at the edges.
