Peach Cobbler Recipe
This Peach Cobbler Recipe is made with fresh, juicy peaches and a tender buttery crust. This classic southern dessert will have your mouth watering before it’s even out of the oven!
Peach Cobbler is one of my favorite desserts.
Not only does it remind me of home (Georgia) but it’s also one of the few dishes that my dad would cook for us.
He didn’t have a huge cooking repertoire, but his few specialties including tomato sandwiches, pinto beans, and peach cobbler were pretty delicious. He even made a version of his peach cobbler with Oreos in it!
There are different takes on peach cobbler, especially when it comes to the crust.
Some cobblers are made with a biscuit-like topping like my Blackberry Cobbler, but this one has a softer, more tender crust which is what I’m used to getting from some of my favorite southern-style restaurants back home.
I made this peach cobbler with very ripe and delicious Fredericksburg, Texas peaches. Fredericksburg is lovingly called “The Peach Capital of Texas,” and for good reason!
If you’re anywhere near that area in the summer time, do yourself a favor and pick some up to take home with you!

Tips and Notes for Peach Cobbler
How to Peel Peaches – the Easy Way!
If you’ve ever tried to peel a peach with a standard veggie peeler, you know it can be messy, and most of the time you end up losing a lot of the peach “meat” in the process. Doing a quick blanch of your peaches will make them so much easier to peel!
Boil a large pot of water. Add peaches a few at a time and allow to boil for 30 seconds – 1 minute.
Remove with a slotted spoon and add to large bowl of ice water. Allow to cool for about 30 seconds then remove.
Gently rub the skin of the peach with your thumb or fingers and it will slide right off! Peel the skin from all remaining peaches and slice.
Can I use frozen peaches or canned peaches for Peach Cobbler?
Yes, you can! Add them in just like the fresh berries. No need to thaw.
How do I store Peach Cobbler?
Most cobblers are best if they are eaten the same day they are made, but any leftovers you have can be stored covered on the kitchen counter for up to three days.
Can I freeze peach cobbler?
Yep! You can bake the cobbler as written and allow it to cool completely, then wrap tightly in both plastic wrap and foil and store in the freezer for up to three months. Allow to thaw partially in the refrigerator (about 1-2 hours) and then warm the cobbler in a 350 degree oven for about 30 minutes, or until cooked through and bubbly.
