Summer's Here .... Peach Cobbler - Recipes Food and Cooking

Peach Cobbler made with fresh sweet peaches with a cake type cobbler on top.

It is officially summer at my house and I bet it is at your house too. I was out mowing around my mini orchard I have here and the old peach tree I have is loaded this year and it looks like I will soon have bushels of gorgeous peaches! I can’t wait, they are already pretty big considering this is going to the first time in 3 years that it looks like they will produce.

I decided today to make some peach cobbler today with my go to Peach Cobbler recipe that I have been making for over 40 years. When I was newly married and in Germany the lady in the apartment above shared her recipe with me. I have made this recipe using Truvia as well and it works great in this recipe if you want to reduce the amount of sugar by half. Until today I have never altered the way I made this recipe.

I discovered the other day when I made the peaches French toast (I will share that recipe this week) that these peaches need some precooking when using them in a baked dish. I really like it better this way I think, but who knows peach season is almost here and both methods are good the original only used the dish you are cooking in. Sometimes that matters if one doesn’t feel like washing more dishes. The biggest difference is the cake crust, in this method the crust starts to caramelize on top and it has wonderful crispy edges that stay that way even as this sets.

My original recipe for peach cobbler is here.
