One of my favorite desserts is a good delicious fruit cobbler. My all time favorite cobbler is peach and I tend to crave it year round. Thankfully, with my method, I can have it year round. Look out Thanksgiving guest, you’re in for a real treat. 

I’ve tried many peach recipes but this cobbler has been the best I’ve ever made. So good that even my picky, and I mean picky, 10 year old daughter loved it. It’s a tad bit different than traditional peach cobblers as it doesn’t have that biscuit type topping. Hubby and I both agree that we prefer this cake topping over a traditional biscuit topping. 

Some notes on the perfect cobbler:

• Fresh or frozen peaches work best. I prefer to use the frozen as I don’t have to peel them. Shortcuts for the win! I however don’t use the canned peaches. I’ve used it before and I wasn’t a fan. However, if that’s what you like, then feel free to use it.
• There are many kinds of peaches, but yellow cling peaches are the best for this cobbler. These are usually around in the supermarkets during the summer months and tend to be on sale. The only negative about these peaches is that they are a pain to remove from the pit. That’s one of the reasons I just go on ahead and buy them frozen.
• A nice light cake like crust. I’ve had the cobblers with the biscuit like toppings. I wasn’t a fan of that either.
• A yummy syrup in the peach mixture. This recipe makes that yummy syrup without using the canned peaches. Somehow the addition of sugar and vanilla work like magic in making a beautiful syrup.

How to make Southern Peach Cobbler, The Easy Way

The beauty about this recipe is that the prep is so easy. 

I start by defrosting my frozen peaches. I lay them in a flat layer in a pan (usually a skillet I have on hand) and let them sit for about 30 minutes until they are defrosted. 

Then, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and place the oven rack on the middle rack.

Then, add defrosted peaches, brown sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract and a pinch of cinnamon to a bowl. Stir to combine. Set aside. 

In another bowl, prepare cake topping by adding melted butter, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and buttermilk and stir until combined. 

Grab a 13×9 baking dish and pour peach mixture in the bottom of it, using a wooden spoon to spread it out.

Next, pour the cake topping over the peach mixture and use wooden spoon to spread mixture over peaches. The cake topping will not reach the edges of the baking dish but that’s ok. We want those peaches to peek out.

Place baking dish in preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes or until the top is golden. 

Remove and let cool a bit. Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Yummy. 

And there you have it. My favorite Southern Peach Cobbler Recipe. Enjoy 🙂
