This old fashioned peach cobbler is a classic, simple recipe that is super juicy. The batter is poured over the peaches to create a biscuit like topping that peaks through the peaches.
I love peaches as this fruit can only be fully enjoyed during the season. Finding peaches out of season is just about impossible and it is always a fail in taste and texture! Because of this you truly appreciate this stone fruit, full of juicy sweetness with a flavour like no other. There are so many recipes to enjoy but the cobbler is an old classic.
A cobbler is filled with juicy fruit and then a buttery, biscuit batter is poured overtop! And once baked its paired perfectly with vanilla ice cream!
I grew up with crumbles and pies but never cobblers. My mom sticks to the classic fruit crumbles and my grandma with pies. I love making both but thought it was about time to add the cobbler into the mix!
TIPS
There are only a few steps in creating a cobbler and what I’ve learned is the size of dish matters. I used a smaller dish (because, well it was prettier!) but it’s important to have the batter spread out so it can push through the peaches and bake on top. You’ll also find the step that takes the longest is peeling and slicing the peaches, so rest assured the recipe itself is quick and simple to make. I especially like how you basically just layer all the ingredients into your dish. And then the magic happens in the oven, creating a unique peach cobbler every time, with breaks of peaches popping through the batter and cracking lines of cinnamon.
I’ve adjusted this recipe to cut down on the sugar, but if you find you have super juicy peaches you could cut back the 1/4 cup sugar even more to a few tablespoons. You could also add some fresh raspberries to the peach cobbler or make it a mixed fruit cobbler. This recipe is easily adaptable to your specific tastes, so you can have fun and create your own favourite version.
Happy Baking 🙂
