Southern Peach Cobbler

Sharing is caring!

Southern Peach Cobbler is quite possible the best summer dessert ever!

Who doesn’t love peach season? The smell of fresh juicy ripe peaches just makes me think of summer! This Southern peach cobbler is loaded with sweet juicy peaches and topped with sweet buttery cake. Every bite is pure heaven.

What is better than warm peach cobbler right out of the oven? Mmmm.. well I would have to say warm peach cobbler with a scoop of vanilla ice cream right on top!

Facts about peaches:

• Peaches are at their best when just ripe and setting at room temp.
• Peaches do not get ripper after picker only softer.
• The red blush on a peach is due to the variety and not due to ripeness.
• When baking with peaches remove the skin first as it becomes tough when cooked.
