How To Make Peach Cobbler

This is one of my mother’s recipes and she took all of these photographs. I wasn’t even there for a bite of it! Mama has always had a way with peaches. In the future, I hope to show you her peach freezer jam and the historical peach crisp we make. She used to make this homemade sour dough bread and we’d eat it hot out of the oven with slices completely smothered in fresh peach freezer jam. Oh my lord, I miss living at home.
In the meantime, while I’m preparing my tutorial on peanut butter balls and finishing up my writing on my grandmother’s sweet potato pie, lets give you another of my mother’s summer classics : Fresh Peach Cobbler.
(notice Mama uses the real stuff, unlike me!), and fresh peeled peaches.
There is a note on how to substitute canned at the bottom.
Preheat oven to 350. Place your stick of butter in the dish you are going to bake the cobbler in and stick that in the oven while it preheats so your butter can melt.
This helps the sugar to dissolve faster.
DO NOT STIR.
I know you really want to…
Sprinkle a tablespoon or so of sugar over top. You can stir now – KIDDING!DO NOT STIR!
Bake at 350 for 55 minutes, or until golden on the top.
If I didn’t have a food blog, that alone would be grounds for some sort of criminal charges.
Mamas are evil.

Coming up this weekend, Peanut butter balls, Sweet Potato Casserole, or how to make dried beans…….whichever I get the hankering to put up first! I’m going out of town on Sunday and will be back Monday night. I plan on having a post scheduled to go up during that time but won’t be replying to any comments until I get back home. I hope y’all get some good things to eat while I’m gone!
If you don’t have fresh peaches or just want an easier way to do this, substitute the following for the fresh peaches:
I’ve been looking for good and simple fresh peach cobbler and was excited when I found yours. I plan on making this soon I already have every thing I need on hand but was a little confused by the instructions. When looking at the pictures with the instructions it says to poor the batter on the butter but in the picture it looks like the peaches are going in first on top the butter?
Good eye Lacie, go by the written instructions. 🙂
What size pan would you say this is if you didn’t have that pretty round casserole dish to use?
Do you think if this recipe were doubled it would be about a 9×13 pan?
Christy, I made your Peach Cobbler recipe yesterday, only I used one cup of Jersey blueberries since I only had 3 cups-worth of peaches. It was fantastic! My parents were over for dinner and they loved it. My dad had to have a “doggie-bag” of it to take home. Thanks for another great recipe.
A “doggie-bag” is the best compliment ever!
My 8 year old and I made this together for the first time. It just came out the oven I didn’t know what kind of pan to use or what size. 2- 9in pie pans work well a square baking pan would work as well. I doubled the recipe and tried to squeeze it into 3 pans and had some run over, but that’s my fault.
To answer the question asked several times, drain the peaches if you use canned peaches.
So glad you liked it Brittainy!!
Well here is a good laugh for everyone. I was watching a cooking show and they made Peach Cobbler, very similar to yours…first the butter, then the batter, then the peaches. So later in the day I decided to make one and I knew you had a recipe (you are my go to for all recipes Southern) Of course I did not read the instructions…or look at the pictures I paged right down to ingredients and started making it. Yeah it doesn’t work when you put the batter on the butter and then the peaches…..lol. The peaches look cute floating on top….lol. Lord knows what it is going to taste like??? it is still in the oven….NOTE TO SELF, if you aren’t going to read instructions at least look at the pictures….LMAO.
LOL, I have done the same thing Debbie, thought I knew exactly what to do, went forward, then after the fact found I should have read the instructions!
Ohhhhhhhhh, I want your Mamma to be my Mamma. That looks so good. I can’t wait to try it.
Hope you enjoy!!! 🙂
first cobbler I ever tried it turned out great but didn’t last long
I am so glad to hear that you liked it!!
Made the peach cobbler today. First time I have ever made a cobbler from fruit fresh off the tree. I blanched my peaches for easy peeling. Also I replaced milk with buttermilk – My hubby has eaten about half of the cobbler this afternoon : )
Delicious!
