Southern Peach Cobbler
Over the Fourth of July weekend, I made this delicious southern peach cobbler. I thought I would share the recipe with you guys since it is so tasty! The original recipe is from The Magnolia Cookbook, I just tweeted a few things from it. Nothing says summer like peaches, so this makes the perfect dessert after all those hot, sunny days!
This recipe uses very minimal ingredients. All of which you probably already have in your pantry as well! So it makes for a very quick and easy southern peach cobbler!
- 4 cups fresh or frozen peaches (I use frozen)
- 1 3/4 cups sugar, divided
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup milk (I used 1%, original recipe calls for whole milk, but 1% turned out just fine as well)
- 8 tbsp (1 whole stick) unsalted butter
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (for sprinkling on top of cobbler)
- 1/2 cup vanilla ice cream (for serving)
There is very little prep work involved for this cobbler. Especially if you are using frozen peaches, like I did. If you are using fresh peaches, you will have to add in a little extra time to cut them all up, but that’s it! And fresh peaches are always delicious, but sometimes you can’t always find them. So frozen peaches work just fine too!
You also will need to preheat your oven to 350 degrees and set the stick of unsalted butter in your baking dish. Then, place it in the oven and let the entire stick of butter melt. The originally recipe also calls to use an 8 x 8 baking dish, but I used a slightly larger one.
Not quite a 9 x 13, but one in between. I even had some overfill from the size I used, so I think an 8 x 8 is way too small for this recipe (Tip- place a cookie sheet underneath the baking dish in the oven to catch any overflow from the cobbler. That way you don’t have to clean out your whole oven if it does overflow a bit!)
You also need to mix up all the dry ingredients, plus the milk, to make the batter. And cook the peaches with sugar until the sugar dissolves completely as well before baking the cobbler.
After you have everything prepped, simply pour the batter on top of the melted butter in the baking dish. Then, spoon the cooked peaches and their juices on top. Then, place in the preheated oven for about 35 minutes. Or until the center of the cobbler comes out clean.
Let the peach cobbler cool and then serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. And eat until your heart’s content! I hope you enjoyed this southern peach cobbler recipe and please let me know if you make it too! You can also make it with any other kind of fruit too! I have another great recipe for blackberry cobbler that is perfect for these summer months too if you want to check that out as well!

Recipe details

Instructions
- In a large saucepan, combine all the peaches and 3/4 cup of the sugar. Cook over medium heat, until sugar dissolves and the juice is slightly thickened. About 8-10 minutes.

- Pour the mixed batter on top of the melted butter in the baking dish. Spoon the peaches and the juices on top of that. Then, sprinkle the ground cinnamon on top.
- Bake until the center comes out clean with a toothpick, about 35 minutes. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream on top and enjoy!
