4 easy ways to make peach cobbler

Often made with the season’s juiciest peaches, peach cobbler is considered one of the most comforting homemade summer desserts. Its crusty biscuit-like topping lends the perfect amount of crispiness to the stewed peach filling. As there are several ways to make this dessert, exploring a few easy peach cobbler recipes can help one choose a method that works for them. This will also help one learn how to make the dessert at home with ease. 

1. Grandma’s old-fashioned peach cobbler

This recipe could bring back one’s first memories of having the delicious dessert. While the exact recipe for grandma’s old-fashioned peach cobbler can differ from one home to another, there are a few common steps. This recipe can use canned as well as fresh peaches. So, one can have this all year around, even when it is not peak peach season. 

• When using fresh peaches, the first step should be peeling the fruits. One way to remove the peel is by placing two or three peaches in a pot of boiling water for about 30 seconds and then transferring them to an ice bath. Leaving them in any longer will let the peaches continue cooking, making them mushy and potentially ruining the texture of the cobbler. The quick switch to an ice bath helps the skin detach from the fruit easily without a knife. 
• Slice the peaches in a way that makes all the pieces the same size. This allows them to cook evenly. Then, add salt, sugar, and peach slices in a saucepan and stir them. Let them cook on medium heat until the sugar starts to dissolve and some of the juices from the fruit are released. Then, take the pan off the heat and set it aside. 
• Get a baking dish (preferably 9×13 inches) and place a few pieces of butter in it. Slide the dish into the oven and preheat it to 350 degrees F. When the butter melts, remove the tray from the oven. 
• Then, combine sugar, baking powder, salt, and flour in a big bowl. Add milk and mix it well. Next, slowly pour this mixture into the baking tray over the melted butter. Spread it evenly and add the cooked (or canned) peaches on top. Sprinkle a generous amount of cinnamon over the peaches to add flavor and aroma to the dessert. 
• Finally, bake the mix at 350 degrees F for about 40 minutes to get the perfect old-fashioned peach cobbler. 

2. Three-ingredient peach cobbler

This super easy peach cobbler recipe takes only a few minutes to prep. Plus, it uses only three ingredients, so it can be quite inexpensive. One can store the ingredients in the pantry to make this delicious yet simple peach cobbler recipe whenever there is an intense craving for a homely, warm dessert. To make it, all one needs is a couple of cans of peaches with light syrup, a pack of yellow cake mix, and about half a cup of melted butter.

• Start by preheating the oven to about 350 degrees F. Then, gently pour the peaches and the syrup on the baking tray. Ensure the layer is even. Over this, carefully sprinkle the entire pack of the cake mix in an even layer. This ensures the cake bakes uniformly. Finally, pour the melted butter over the cake mix.
• Place the tray in the oven and let it bake for about 50 minutes until the top layer turns golden brown. 
• Once baked, have this easy homemade peach cobbler while it’s warm. Alternatively, one can even top it with a favorite ice cream or let it cool and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. 

3. Southern-style peach cobbler

When looking for the most authentic ways to make this dessert, one can never go wrong with a Southern peach cobbler recipe, which often uses fresh peaches. 

• Begin by preheating the oven at 425 degrees F. 
• While the oven heats, combine peeled, cut peaches with a little lemon juice, tapioca starch or cornstarch, and white and brown sugar in a large bowl. Add a pinch of cinnamon as well as nutmeg to get that warm flavor and aroma. Stir everything well and pour it gently over a 9×13 baking tray. Bake this mixture in the oven for around 10 minutes. 
• While the peach filling cooks, whisk together the crust topping ingredients—all-purpose flour, white sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, chilled and grated butter, and a little boiling water.  Combine everything, leaving a lot of little lumps of butter in the mixture.
• Get the cooked peaches out of the oven and place scoops of the crust topping mixture over them. A small cookie scoop can be used for this purpose. Then, sprinkle cinnamon and sugar over the crust layer and place the tray back into the oven for about 28 minutes until the crust turns golden.
