It’s peach heaven here in Colorado. I know you hear about Georgia peaches but a Colorado a Palisade Peach is a forerunner in the peach world.
This is summer’s favorite dessert, so naturally, it pairs perfectly with any and all of your go-to summer bbq dishes and blanching and freezing peaches is so easy. In the deepest part of cold winter you’ll be glad you did!
You may have eaten a peach cobbler or something called a cobbler, but what is it really? Is it a type of fruit pie, cake, crisp, or buckle? Or a combination? One thing is for sure, peach cobbler recipes really aren’t that complicated, and I’m here to end the confusion. Plus you basically dump, mix and bake.
Cobblers can be both a dessert or savory baked dish, topped with a biscuit-type batter that may be sweet, savory, or cake-like. The batter is dropped in spoonfuls over fresh, frozen, preserved fruits or savory fillings. When baked, the golden topping has a “cobbled” appearance, ergo, a cobbler!
Traditionally peach cobblers, crisps, and crumbles are freeform desserts without a bottom crust. Although some peach “cobbler” recipes resemble a thick-crusted, deep-dish pie with both a top and bottom “crust,” similar to a buckle. This comes out like a light cake-like crust surrounding the filling, and it’s truly to die for.
Easy Peach Cobbler Recipe Ingredients
- Peaches – fresh sliced peaches or frozen, gently thawed, and thoroughly drained. (Save that juice and make Peach Sangria!)
- Unsalted Butter – is preferred in this peach cobbler recipe. If you only have salted on hand, it’s still a go!
- Flour – this recipe uses all-purpose flour. Be sure to use the scoop and smooth method when measuring out flour.
- Granulated White Sugar
- Baking Powder – Baking powder loses its potency rather quickly, and your recipe won’t rise properly if it’s too old. You can test your baking powder for freshness. Simply, pour a little baking powder into hot water — if it fizzes, it’s still good to use!
- Salt
- Milk – I always prefer whole milk unless specified in a recipe. The butter fat content adds to the richness factor of baked goods.
- Egg
- Vanilla Extract – warms and enhances the sweetness with soft vanilla and nut notes.
- Cinnamon & Nutmeg – sing with aromatic, woody spice harmony in homemade peach cobbler!
- Brown Sugar
- Ice Cream For Serving – optional but highly recommended for old fashion peach cobbler recipes to be served à la mode.
