This is one of the best fresh peach cobblers. There is nothing better.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This fresh peach cobbler is a simple homemade cobbler just about anyone can make. The filling is full of sweet juicy peaches and has a slight spice from the nutmeg and cinnamon. On top is a fluffy and sugary crisp crust. There is a lot of crust on top of the fruit. So, if you prefer lots of crust compared to fruit, then this cobbler is for you. A wonderful summer dessert during peach season.

  • Oven set to preheat.
    Step 1

  • Peaches, sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and corn starch in a bowl.
    Step 2
    in a large bowl, combine peaches, 1/4 cup sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and corn starch.
  • Peaches tossed in the bowl.

    Toss to coat evenly.
  • Peaches poured into a baking dish.
    Step 4
    Pour into a 2-quart baking dish.

    Step 5
    Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes.
  • Flour, sugars, baking powder, salt, and water in a bowl.
    Step 6
    Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine flour, sugars, baking powder, and salt. Blend in butter with your fingertips or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles a coarse meal. Stir in water until just combined.
  • Topping spread over the partially baked peaches.
    Step 7
    Remove peaches from the oven and drop spoonfuls of topping over them.
