Easy Peach Cobbler

 This peach cobbler recipe is super easy to make and tastes amazing. Tender juicy peaches are topped with fluffy cake batter to create the perfect mouthwatering peach recipe.

Ontario peaches have been abundant and my parents recently brought some to us, so we've been enjoying our first taste of summer peaches. The kids absolutely love eating fresh, juicy peaches and look forward to the time of year when we can find some local peaches to eat. I'd have to say, there is nothing better than biting into that first sweet and juicy peach. It almost makes me swoon every time! The only thing better, I think, would be peach cobbler.

Peach cobbler reminds me of Poor Man's Pudding, but made with peaches. By that I mean, the tender peaches are on the bottom, with a fluffy cake like topping. So, whenever I get the chance, I love to make peach cobbler. The smell of it cooking is SO intoxicating. Sweet aromas of peach and vanilla fill the house and make us all anxious to dig into the cobbler with some vanilla ice cream. The kids raved about the cobbler and I think if I would have let them, they might have eaten the whole thing. It was out of this world good, looks awesome and is the perfect end, to a wholesome meal.

What is a Cobbler?

Cobbler is a dessert which originated in the British Colonies, back in the 1850's. It consists of fruit (or sometimes a savoury filling), covered with batter, biscuits, or dumplings before baking. It is a popular dish in the UK and the US, and should not be confused with crumble. Traditionally cobbler is served with a scoop or two of vanilla ice cream.

What's the difference between Cobbler and Crumble?

As mentioned above Cobbler consists of fruit, covered by a dough like batter; while crumble is usually topped with an oatmeal topping. 

Are there different types of Cobblers?

Depending on your geographical area, a cobbler may be known as something else. In the Canadian Maritimes, cobbler is usually referred to as a Grunt or Pandowdy. They are usually cooked on the stove top in a cast iron skillet, with the dough topping in the shape of biscuits. 

In the US, there are several different types of cobblers. Such as the Apple Pandowdy (an apple cobbler with a broken crust, sometimes stirred into the filling), Brown Betty (made with breadcrumbs, pieces of bread or graham crackers) or Buckle (topped with a golden yellow cake batter). 

What kind of Peaches can I use in Peach Cobbler?

Fresh peaches- in this recipe I used fresh peaches, which I peeled. Many people do not peel their peaches, but due to my IBS I prefer to peel my peaches. 

Frozen peaches- frozen peaches are usually firmer, so the result will be less jammy, but frozen peaches are awesome in peach cobbler. 

Canned peaches- the syrup in canned peaches will make the filling gummy, so I wouldn't recommend using them in cobblers.

Peach Cobbler Recipe

6-8 large ripe peaches
1/4 C vanilla sugar*
1 Tbs cornstarch
1/2 C butter, softened
1 large egg
1/2 C sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp grated lemon zest
3/4 C flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 pinch salt

 Preheat the oven to 375° F.

Peel the peaches and cut in half. Remove the pit and slice each half into 3 or 4 wedges.

Combine the peaches, the vanilla sugar, and cornstarch in a large mixing bowl. Stir occasionally, until the sugar dissolves, 5 to 7 minutes.

Cream together the butter and remaining 1/2 cup sugar in a separate mixing bowl, until smooth. Beat in the egg, vanilla, and lemon zest until the batter is smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl once or twice as necessary.

Add the flour, baking powder, and salt and stir until just combined.

Transfer the peaches to an 8-inch square-baking pan. Drop the dough in rounded tablespoonfuls over the fruit.

Bake until the fruit is bubbling and the crust is golden, 50 to 55 minutes. Let the cobbler cool slightly and serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

*regular sugar can be used, simply add 1/2 tsp of vanilla to the peach mixture

  6. Peach cobbler will always be one of my favorites and yours was delicious and super easy to make. The lemon zest added a nice hint of flavor and of course we had it a la mode with a fat scoop of vanilla ice cream. Yum!

  7. Gosh, I could live on peaches! And anything one can make of them!! It's true that the Brits make cobbler all the time. I haven't tried yet, nor have fresh peaches other than imported from Spain and available in small quantities in grocery shops, but my apricot tree is doing well this year, perhaps I can substitute the fruit in this recipe, although it won't be the same, I know.

No Yeast Old Fashion Cinnamon Rolls

 These delicious cinnamon sticky rolls have been in my family for over 40 yrs. No yeast is required, so you can whip up a batch of these in no time. Still tender, sticky sweet and delicious! Ever since I can remember Mom would make these as a special treat. It wasn't too often, but every once in a while, we'd come home to these no yeast cinnamon rolls, as an after school snack. Growing up, this is what I thought cinnamon rolls were. I wasn't aware that there was a yeast version of cinnamon rolls. As much as I LOVE the yeast version, this no yeast version seems to make an appearance more frequently here at home.  Since there is no yeast in the dough, it does not need to rise for 30 minutes before being rolled out and baked. When I worked in the retirement home the residents were always excited when I made these cinnamon rolls. They said it reminded them of their childhood. It was amazing seeing how happy a simple recipe could make them. I don't make these very often and

50+ Creative Cottage Meal Ideas

When the warm weather hits many of us head to the cottage, to enjoy the sunshine and time near the water. Instead of always packing up burgers and hot dogs, I've rounded up over 50 creative meal ideas for delicious breakfasts, lunches and dinners. Ever since I was little my family always enjoyed a few weeks camping at a near by provincial park, during the summer months. When us kids, became older and moved away, Mom and Dad bought a trailer which remained parked at a location, so we would often go and visit for a few weeks then too. My mom has always been an amazing cook and with her outside kitchen often made our family favourites, even at camp. Now that my SO and his family have a cottage, we are frequently there for most of the summer. Hamburgers and Hot Dogs seem to be our go to, so I wanted to collect new creative meals perfect to make while camping, or at the cottage.  Breakfast Recipes Healthy Banana Milkshake Thick, creamy banana milkshake made without ice cream, dairy, and

Black Forest Roll Cake

Light and fluffy cherry and whipped cream filling is rolled in an airy sponge cake. 13 years ago, I made a dinner that I was totally proud of. Not only did it taste wonderful, it looks fantastic too. I was so proud of myself that I took a photo, which I wanted to share with my friends and family. Only I didn't know how I could share it with everyone, at the same time. Then a thought came to me- a blog!!!  I've always been a foodie. While growing up, I'd often watch talk shows, just to see the cooking segments. I'd sit with a pen and paper, quickly jotting down ingredients and directions, to hopefully recreate recipes at home. I still remember a beet salad I begged my mom to let me make, asking her to buy raspberry wine vinegar for the dressing. It turned out to be something neither of us enjoyed, and up until a few years ago, Mom still had the vinegar in her cupboard.  I first started my first blog, Hun... What's  for Dinner?, as a way to share recipes with my famil
