There’s nothing that says summer like our fresh peach cobbler. Our recipe is a classic southern-style cobbler—moist, tender, and juicy (more peaches than cake). 

It’s very similar to recipes found in 19th-century cookbooks which went by the name of “bird’s-nest pudding” or “crow’s-nest pudding.”

With a handful of ingredients (and fresh peaches!), you can serve that traditional cobbler grandma used to make. Serve hot from the oven with ice cream or homemade whipped cream.

Ingredients
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) salted butter, melted
4 cups peeled and sliced fresh peaches
1 cup sugar, divided
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup milk
2 teaspoons baking powder
whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. Pour butter into a 13x9-inch baking dish. Add peaches. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of sugar over peaches, dust with nutmeg and cinnamon, and stir together.
  3. In a bowl, combine the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar, flour, milk, and baking powder. Stir until smooth. Pour over peaches. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden.
  4. Serve with whipped cream or some Old Fashioned Homemade Ice Cream for a special treat.

About how many peaches do you need to make the 4 cups required for this recipe?

Made this for my dad with home made ice cream and it was a big hit! Plus the smell of the nutmeg and cinnamon drifted through the house while it was baking and was wonderful! Reminded me of my childhood home when my mother made cobblers.

This photo is not a 9x13 pan... looks like a bread/loaf pan(?)

The photo is just a representation of what the recipe should look like. The pan in the photo is a lot more attractive than a standard baking dish!

I have made this recipe many times for the family and for bring-a-dish meals and it is always a hit. It is very rare that any is left in the dish! My husband likes it with a little cold milk poured over top of his serving in a bowl. I have also made it with blackberries in place of peaches and it was well received, seeds and all.

I made this recipe a few weeks ago and we were drooling. The topping is totally different than in the picture but so delicious. Making it again tonight!

The topping looks rolled out. I prefer a rolled crust. Looks delicious.

Good eye Marilyn! I noticed that discrepancy as soon as I scrolled down to the picture. Next time they should choose a more acurate picture or take one of thier own.

Oh boy, do we wish we had a food photographer on staff. We hope you can forgive us for using a stock photo. We guarantee the recipe is delicious, even though the photo is not exactly perfect.
