Okay, how have I never made fresh peach cobbler before? Seriously, what’s wrong with me? Who am I?
Fresh peaches? Yes. Sugary-golden cobbler crust? Yup. Super duper easy recipe? Yeah. Summery sweet goodness? Absolutely. It meets all my requirements!
This summer has been full of great eats in the kitchen for me, thanks to My Summer List. I’ve made Blueberry Crumble Pie, Watermelon Sorbet and Sweet Cherry Pie, to name a few. As far as I see it, I’m batting 100 here because they have all been wonderful. What an amazing summer! Though, I really need to get this sweet tooth of mine checked out soon. Or…maybe not.
Oh, did I forget to mention I got to use my new birthday present with this recipe?? Woohoo! Thanks again, Dustin, for the best gift ever. **cough** You still have the rest of my wish list memorized, though, right, sweetie? **cough**
This cobbler recipe is super easy. Super. Easy. I kid you not. It will take you less than 15 minutes to prepare and likely even less than that to devour — if you’re anything like Dustin and me.
I, of course, had to make my go-to Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream to go with the cobbler. Cuz I’m like that. There’s really no question. Ever.
I think I’ll add some oats and/or chopped walnuts to the cobbler crust next time to add a little more texture to the dessert. Also, I decreased the amount of sugar from 2 total cups to 1 1/2 cups because I thought it was a little sweet. It happens….sometimes. Otherwise, this was another winner.
I hope you are all enjoying the last few moments of summer!
Fresh Peach Cobbler
recipe adapted from Southern Living, June 1997
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups sugar, divided into 3/4 cup each
1 tbsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. kosher salt
1 cup milk
4 cups (about 4 large) fresh yellow peaches, cut into slices
1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1/4 tsp. lemon zest
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/8 tsp. nutmeg
Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Melt butter in a large baking dish or dutch oven.
Combine flour, 3/4 cup sugar, baking powder and kosher salt in a medium bowl. Add milk and stir just until dry ingredients are incorporated. Without stirring, pour batter over melted butter.
Heat remaining 3/4 cup sugar, fresh peach slices, lemon juice, lemon zest, cinnamon and nutmeg over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Cook until sugar has melted and all ingredients are fully mixed. Without stirring, pour the peach mixture over the batter. Don’t worry: the crust will form over the peaches during baking. Sprinkle cobbler crust with additional cinnamon or nutmeg, if desired.
Bake cobbler for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown. Serve cobbler along with Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream, if desired.
Enjoy!

Mmmm this has me drooling thinking of how good this would taste!! Delicious! I love peaches and definitely can’t wait for them to come back into season here.
I always feel so bad posting summer foods when they’re not in season for you yet. The tables will turn soon enough, I guess
Don’t feel bad. You’re lucky that you have all of these wonderful things in season. I’m just jealous
Ok, sounds good! Heehee
Lacey: Before I try this yummy-looking recipe, I have two questions. First, I typically use self-rising flour. What are your thoughts on that? Second, do you have a recommendation for an ice cream maker? We’re going on vacation soon with the family, and it might be a good thing to have on hand.
Hi Kathy! To answer your questions:
(1) I’m not too familiar with self-rising flour, unfortunately. However, I know it has 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder and 1/2 tsp. salt to 1 cup flour. The Peach Cobbler recipe calls for a whole tbsp. of baking powder, however. So, you could either just try it “as-is,” or try to add another 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder. Does that make sense? I’m sorry I don’t have a better answer than that. If you do try it out, would you please let me know how it goes so I can better answer this question in the future?
(2) As for a recommendation for an ice cream maker, I use a Cuisinart 1-1/2 Quart Automatic Ice Cream Maker and love it. Here’s a link for it at Amazon.com if you’re interested. It’s not too expensive and hasn’t failed me yet. Trust me, I’ve gotten my money’s worth! I agree: ice cream makers are ALWAYS good to have on hand
I hope this helps you out. Good luck!
First off ~ I made the fish tacos and they were delicious! I loved the flavor combination of the pico de gallo, the dill sauce, and the fish with the spicy breading. Yummy meal, even my husband liked them and I was skeptical about that. That recipe is definitely a keeper!
I have a few ripe peaches sitting in the fruit bowl and they are headed for the peach cobbler this morning. Thanks for sharing these delicious offerings.
Yay, Miss Becky, I’m so glad you liked the fish tacos!! That makes me so happy. Isn’t it always so nice when your husband likes a meal after you were skeptical?
I hope you like the Peach Cobbler as well. Take care!
Let me answer your question with a question.
Why have I never made peach cobbler either?!?!?!? This preposterous. I need to get to the kitchen.
(This looks fantastic.)
Haha, Joanne! I’m so glad I wasn’t the only one. Wait — now you are the only one! Quick! Make it soon so you are no longer left out
Heehee. Thanks for stopping by!
I have never made a peach cobbler either but you’ve convinced me that I need to!!
Yay, Tara! You won’t be sorry
This looks so fresh and wonderful!! I’d totally drop a dollop of vanilla bean ice cream on top.. yum!
I’m with you on that one, Samantha! Though, there isn’t much I wouldn’t put vanilla bean ice cream on top
Just made your peach cobbler, it was a big hit! Everyone loved it, thanks for sharing it
btw it wasn’t as sweet as I thought it would be, which surprised me 
Yay, Joann, that’s great everyone loved it! It certainly looks like a lot of sugar in the recipe. I even decreased the amount from the original recipe after I made it because I felt it was a little too sweet. I’m glad you feel the same way.
your peaches are so beautiful and the peach cobbler looks delicious!! I love a good cobbler / crisp….and the peaches lately have just been heavenly! What a great dessert!
Thanks, Chef Dennis, that’s so nice of you to say! The better the peaches, the better the cobbler
LACEY!!!! Oh my gosh. That was SO delicious. We used store-bought ice cream (but I did order an ice cream maker that comes next week) but that didn’t make it any less yummy!! I am definitely going to have to increase my time at the gym.
Oh, good, Kathy! That’s great you liked the cobbler. Hey — there’s nothing wrong with store-bought ice cream. So glad you bought an ice cream maker! I’m going to be posting a mint chip ice cream within the next couple weeks too. Heehee
I call my girlfriend my sweet pea …we found your site on foodgawker after getting a case of peaches and it was as though the universe was telling us THIS IS IT!! She made this for me and it was fantastic.
Hello, Dan! Wow, it certainly does sound like the universe wanted you to make that cobbler. Hilarious. Quick! Let’s both get in on a lotto ticket, too!
Oh my gosh, this look delicious! And so beautiful! Your photographs are gorgeous.

If I needed another reason to look forward to summer, this is it! Thanks for retweeting this today. I’ve clipped it and have it ready for summer. New Jersey peaches are THE BEST.
Yay, Rivki! Here’s to summer! I hope you enjoy it
I’m so excited! Peaches are super on sale right now, so I picked up a bunch earlier and didn’t know what to do with them until I found your blog on foodgawker. I just put my cobbler in the oven and I CAN’T WAIT until it’s done! I’m an aspiring baker/chef, please check out my website at kelseysillustrated.wordpress.com!
