I love a nice and juicy peach cobbler with some good crust on top and this one hits the spot! This is about what Gramma used to make when I was growing up. Funny, a lot of our best memories centered around eating!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

An old-fashioned recipe for peach cobbler just like grandma made. A flaky homemade crust holds in juicy fresh peaches with just the right amount of cinnamon. It tastes like a peach pie without a bottom crust. Make sure to serve a slice with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream.

How To Make homemade peach cobbler

Test Kitchen Tips
When blanching the peaches, cutting an X on the bottom helps make peeling easier. Also, after removing peaches from boiling water, dunk them in ice water to prevent cooking.
  • Quickly boiling fresh peaches.
    Step 1
    Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Peel peaches by dipping them in boiling water for about 1 minute.
  • Removing skin from the peaches.
    Step 2
    Slip the skins off and slice the peaches into wedges, discarding pits.
  • Sliced peaches in a baking dish.
    Step 3
    Place peaches in a 9" or 10" baking dish or casserole dish.
  • Sugar, corn starch, vanilla, and cinnamon in a bowl.
    Step 4
    In a small bowl, mix sugar, corn starch, vanilla, and cinnamon with a fork.
  • Sugar mixture and dots of butter on the peaches.
    Step 5
    Sprinkle the sugar mixture over the peaches and dot with butter.
  • Mixing flour, salt, baking powder, and butter.
    Step 6
    For the topping, mix flour, salt, and baking powder. Cut in butter using a pastry blender or two knives.
  • Adding milk to form a dough.
    Step 7
    Stir in milk, all at once, stirring with a fork until the dough clings together.
  • Dough rolled on a mat.
    Step 8
    Pat or roll out dough to 1/4" thick to the shape of the dish.
  • Crust placed on the baking dish and sealed.
    Step 9
    Place over peaches. Crimp and flute edge to seal. Cut a steam vent in the center. Bake at 425 degrees F for 20 minutes.
  • Homemade Peach Cobbler baked until golden brown.
    Step 10
    Then reduce to 325 degrees F. Bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the peaches are done and the top is golden.
