Peachy Keen Cobbler

My personal tweaks to a good old fashioned Southern peach cobbler. Normally when making a cobbler there's just never enough topping (that is the best part after all) and I have to increase the topping part by half or even double it. My version comes with the quantities for a "more topping" cobbler already figured up. You'll always have everyone's preferred filling to topping ratio using this recipe. ;)

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F.

  2. 2

    Peel, pit, and slice peaches into thin wedges. (Tip: for easy peeling blanch peaches. Score bottoms of peaches in an X pattern. Submerge in boiling water for 1-2 minute, transfer to a bowl full of ice water, peeling will slide right off!)

  3. 3

    In a 2 quart baking dish combine all ingredients for the filling. Gently toss to coat peaches evenly. Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes.

  4. 4

    While filling is baking put flour, both sugars, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Stir to combine.

  5. 5

    Add cubed butter to flour mixture and cut/blend into flour with a pastry cutter, large fork, or fingertips, until mixture resembles a coarse meal (clumps of butter are pea sized or smaller).

  6. 6

    Add boiling water and stir until dough just comes together. Do not over stir or you will have a tough topping.

  7. 7

    Remove peaches from oven. Drop topping in spoonfuls evenly over peaches. Combine 3 tbs sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon. Sprinkle over cobbler. Return to oven. Bake until golden. About 25-30 minutes. Let cool 15-20 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

  8. 8

    Note: Sometimes I skip the cinnamon-sugar sprinkle and just stir about 1/2 tsp cinnamon into the topping with the other dry ingredients. That is what I did with the cobbler pictured. Just know your topping will bake up darker if you do.

Cooking is a hobby and a passion of mine. I love cooking and trying new and different things. The best thing about cooking? I get to prepare delicious food for my family and friends that they (almost) always love! Lol.Many of my recipes are experiments in what I could make with what was available at the time. Many are simply my version of classic and/or popular dishes. A few are variations of recipes I have found elsewhere online but adjusted to our tastes. No matter what, though, each of my recipes is tried and tested before posting and I hope you find as much joy in preparing them as I do.
