Homemade Easy Peach Cobbler Recipe
Easy Peach Cobbler
I sure do like peach cobbler. It’s something my husband says often as a hint that I should make it. Getting great peaches and allowing them to ripen is the key. The peaches tend to be green when we buy them. Allowing them to sit for a few days helps make this easy peach cobbler a snap to bake.
If you do not have fresh peaches, you can use canned, just just about 1/3 of the juice from the can. And buy the can that is in its own juices. You will be adding enough sugar to this recipe.
Serve with a scoop of ice cream and you’ve got peaches and cream!
You can serve dinner and have the cobbler cooking in the oven while you are eating. A great dish we like to eat warm (or warmed up). And don’t forget to try our cherry cobbler recipe too!
Do You Need to Use Fresh Fruit?
You can use fresh peaches or canned. If we don’t have enough, we use a combination of both fresh and canned so that the baking pan is covered.
Can You Use Frozen Peaches?
Yes. You will want to thaw and drain the peach as the excess liquid could take longer to cook or become soupy Draining excess juice is key.
Save The Peach Juice!
Save the juice and you can drink or mix it with a little sugar and reduce into a syrup and use on your ice cream.
Do You Have to Peel Peaches for This Recipe?
The peaches should be washed, and the pits removed. If you want to leave the skin on, you can, but you should slice the peaches. It will allow quicker baking of the peaches.
Do You Use Need a Glass Baking Dish?
This is our preference, but if you have metal, those work as well. Cooking time may be slightly different, so check your cobbler near the end of baking time.
Making Peach Cobbler
If you have a peach tree, you can pick the fruit when they are ripe and enjoy all the peach cobbler you want. But you might want to consider canning peaches, so you can enjoy peach desserts all year round.
