Loaded with fresh, juicy peaches tossed in sugar and spice with a soft on the inside crispy on the outside cakey crust!

If this is what living in the south tastes like, then count me in! Except, the south is humid and doesn’t get cold enough to kill Jurassic Park size bugs. So… I’ll just stay right where I am and enjoy these fresh peaches in the comfort of my own deck while the breeze blows, the birds chirp, and the kids laugh and play! It just doesn’t get any better than that.

How to Make Peach Cobbler

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Peel, pit, and slice the peaches into wedges. Put into a large bowl. 
• Add in 1/4 cup white sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 tsp cinnamon, 1/8 tsp nutmeg, 1 tsp lemon juice, and 2 tsp cornstarch. Toss until peaches are well coated. 
• Pour peaches into a 9 x 13 baking dish. 
• Place in preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes. 
• While the peaches are in the oven, cut 12 tbsp of butter into small pieces and mix together the butter, 2 cups flour, 1/2 cup white sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 2 tsp baking powder, and 1 tsp salt. Using a pastry cutter, mix the dry ingredients until it looks crumbly.

• Bake for 30 minutes or until the topping is golden and baked through. 

Tips for Making Peach Cobbler

• You make want to place your 9 x 13 pan on a baking sheet. If the peaches bubble over all you have to do is clean the pan, not the oven! 
• Taste your peaches before you put them in the bottom of the baking dish. Depending on the size and how sweet and/or juicy your peaches are, you may need to add a little more white sugar. 
• This peach cobbler is best paired with Breyer’s Vanilla Ice Cream about 15 minutes after you remove it from the oven! 

How to Store Peach Cobbler

• You can keep your peach cobbler stored in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 5 days. 
• I don’t recommend freezing peach cobbler. 

I wish I could somehow convey the smell and taste of this deliciousness! The sweet smell of this cobbler will smell up your whole house. And the cakey topping layer combined with the juicey peaches is absolute perfection!
