Summertime Peach Cobbler
"This recipe was given to me many years ago by Mrs. Orin Stevens of Fargo, ND. She told me she'd gotten it from a church cookbook. I've used fresh, frozen and canned peaches with equal success."

I thought you should know that I made 2 of these for my husband's great-grandmother's 98th birthday party. She always complained about how awful was the food in her retirement home, especially the peach cobbler. She had peach trees on her farm and made fresh peach cobbler and missed it so much. So I made 2 cobblers for her & the rest of the family in attendance, about 30 of us in total. As a result, I am the official peach cobbler maker for the family. They unanimously declared it the best peach cobbler they have ever eaten. Great-grandma passed away about 2 weeks later, but I like to think we gave her a grand send-off! Thanks so much for the fantastic recipe. -
OMG! This was incredible! I've never made fresh peach cobbler before and it was so easy. I've never even attempted to slice fresh peaches before either. I boiled them for 1 minute, let cool a minute, then the skin came right off. I took a knife and scored the peach all around into 7-9 sections from top to bottom and used my thumbs to pry the slices away from the pit. It worked out well and didn't bruise the peaches at all and they were pretty ripe. I added a shake of cinnamon over the peaches and to the batter. I used 8 small peaches from our local peach farm in SC and cooked in a glass 9x13. I ended up pouring the batter over the peaches (it was not runny batter) and using a spoon to spread it out over the peaches instead of dropping spoonfuls of batter on top. Spreading was the way to go. I took it to a BBQ and everyone loved it! -
Best peach cobbler I've ever had! Made it for a friend and he wanted to take the whole thing home! Used 1/2 brown sugar and half white to make it even richer. Used butter instead of margarine. Added 1/2 tsp of cinnamon. Thanks for the wonderful recipe!

I followed this recipe exactly... so what am I missing?! In retrospect, I would not use a 9x13 pan, this made for a very thin cobbler. I also would add at least one more peach. My peaches were ripe, and I think this made for a very sweet cobbler. I think for ripe peaches I'd cut the sugar some and/or add a little lemon juice to balance things out. I also added a little cinnamon and nutmeg. -
this is delish! in most recipes, usually cut any sugar amounts in half. for this i cut down the sugar in the dough to 1/2 c. and for the water/sugar mixture i used only 1/3 c. i thought it was still plenty sweet and may cut it back next time to 1/2 c. and 1/4 c. we love vanilla, so i increased it to 1 tsp. PEFRECT! thanks for sharing.

I made a 9 x 13 pan. I had a lot of fresh peaches to use. Thus I doubled the dry ingredient recipe for the dough. I sprinkled 1/2 cup of sugar over the dough then poured 1 cup of hot (almost boiling water over the top. It cooked for 1 hour and was delicious. It is similar to my grandmother's recipe which I had lost. Thanks. -
This was fantastic. I made it vegan by using soy milk instead of cow's milk and Earth Balance margarine instead of butter. I even accidentally added 1 full cup of water instead of the 1/2 cup it actually calls for and it STILL turned out great! This is exactly the kind of cobbler I was hoping for and now I can end my search! BOOKMARKED! -
It was my first time making a cobbler and I was serving a group of 8, so I needed a good recipe. This was a huge success. I modified it just a a little. I used butter instead of margarine (who uses margarine?) substituted a little brown sugar for some of the white sugar in the liquid, and added some cinnamon in the dry mixture. I also increased the number of servings by adding more peaches and making a bit more dough. I was expecting a very sweet cobbler since the peaches were sweet, but it was not too sweet. Everyone had more than one serving, even the guy who "doesn't eat desserts". I brought home an empty pan. -
Soooo good! I had a lot of fresh peaches, so I doubled the recipe (still used a 13x9 pan). I used real butter instead of margarine and used half brown sugar and half white sugar for the portion of sugar the goes into the batter. It's like a crustless peach pie. We enjoyed this warm with some vanilla ice cream. Thanx! -
Wow, what a wonderful, easy, and delicious recipe!! I usually don't review a recipe if I've altered it, but in this case, I have to add my five stars. I had three overripe peaches that I needed to cook, but since they weren't enough, I added a cup of fresh cherries and blueberries. I otherwise left the recipe as written. Amazing, easy, and SO delicious!! If I used just peaches instead of adding the tart berries, I would cut the sugar as mentioned by other posters as a personal preference.

I've been cooking for over 45 years now. First I made Jello pudding. Next I learned how to make cream sauce. I still like creamed tuna over toast, rice or mashed potatoes.
Many years ago I found a greeting card that said "When I retire I'm going to move to a big house in the country and live with a lot of cats...I've already got a start on the cats." I bought the store's entire stock and sent them to EVERYBODY! Well, now I'm retired, I live in a regular sized house in the country (on about 80 acres), I have a bunch of cats and feed a lot of other critters. There's a mini pig (she's still pretty big),a lop-eared rabbit, a vole who moved in under the stove, a huge flock of chickens, loads of songbirds, an opossum behind the barn(who sneaks in to eat), herons in the spring, pacific tree frogs, and the occasional coyote. We're even in the territory of a couple of golden eagles who stop by a couple of times a year.
That's a chicken on my shoulder. JC (Junior Chicken). How he ended up as an indoor chicken is a long, complicated story. JC never learned to crow right. Maybe it was being deprived of role models in his formative months.
