Difficulty: Easy
Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz) sliced peaches in syrup
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
1. Prep the Omnia Oven
Place the Omnia oven on your RV or camp stove over medium heat. The oven works by heating air between the base plate and baking pan, circulating heat just like a traditional oven . If you have the silicone liner, place it in the baking pan for easy cleanup .
2. Make the Batter
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon (if using). Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until just combined—a few lumps are okay. Don’t overmix, or the topping will be tough.
3. Prepare the Peaches
Open the can of sliced peaches and drain the syrup, reserving about 1/4 cup for later.
4. Assemble the Cobbler
Pour the batter into the Omnia baking pan, spreading it evenly. Arrange the peach slices on top of the batter. Drizzle the reserved syrup over the peaches. Do not stir—the batter will rise up around the peaches as it bakes.
5. Bake the Cobbler
Cover the Omnia oven with the lid. Place it on the stove over medium heat. Using the Omnia is not a perfect science—baking time can vary depending on the ambient temperature and your stove settings . To avoid burning, aim for a temperature around 300-350°F as indicated on the Omnia thermometer accessory . Bake for 25-40 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean .
6. Serve and Enjoy
Remove the Omnia from the heat and let the cobbler cool for 5-10 minutes. Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream if desired.
Tips for Perfect Omnia Oven Peach Cobbler
Getting That Golden Crust
The key to a beautiful cobbler in the Omnia oven is moderate heat. The Omnia can be hotter at the bottom than the thermometer shows, so keep the temperature around 300°F on the thermometer to prevent burning . The steam vents in the lid help keep the topping from getting soggy .
Temperature Control on Your Camp Stove
Start with medium heat to get the Omnia up to temperature, then reduce to medium-low to maintain an even bake. You can lift the lid to check on the cobbler and adjust the heat as needed . The baking time may vary from 25 to 40 minutes depending on your stove and the weather.
Using Canned vs. Fresh Peaches
Canned peaches work great for this recipe—they’re already soft and sweet. If you’re using fresh peaches, peel and slice 3-4 medium peaches and toss them with 2 tablespoons of sugar before assembling. The smoky flavor from the camp stove will enhance any type of peach you use.
Making It Your Own
This recipe is incredibly versatile. You can substitute the peaches with other canned fruits like apples, pears, or berries. The simple batter topping is a blank canvas for your favorite fruit combinations.
Variations to Try
Cake Mix Shortcut
For an even easier version, use 1/2 box of yellow or white cake mix instead of the flour, sugar, and baking powder. Mix the cake mix with the milk, butter, and vanilla, then pour over the peaches and bake as directed .
Biscuit Topping Cobbler
Replace the batter with a biscuit-style topping. Mix 1/2 cup flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Cut in 1/4 cup cold butter until crumbly, then stir in 2 tablespoons milk to form a dough. Drop spoonfuls over the peaches instead of pouring a batter .
Spiced Peach Cobbler
Add 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg and 1/4 teaspoon of allspice to the batter along with the cinnamon. The warm spices pair beautifully with the peaches and add extra depth of flavor.
Berry Peach Cobbler
Add 1/2 cup of fresh or frozen blueberries or raspberries to the peaches. The tart berries balance the sweetness of the peaches perfectly.
Storage Instructions
Storing Leftovers
Place leftover cobbler in an airtight container and refrigerate within 2 hours. It will stay fresh in your camper fridge for up to 3 days .
Reheating Without Drying Out
The best way to reheat cobbler is back in the Omnia oven over low heat for 5-10 minutes until warmed through. You can also microwave individual portions for 30-60 seconds.

What if I don’t have the Omnia thermometer accessory?
