If I could give this 10 stars, I would. I searched through probably 30 different recipes for peach cobbler. Most of them looked too cakey. I wanted a crust that was like a traditional cobbler-somewhat like a biscuit. This was the one. Perfect crust, nice and crunchy on top and soft on the bottom, but not soggy. Love the way it tasted using brown sugar. Really brought out the flavor of the peaches. I already marked this page as a favorite and this will be my only peach cobbler recipe. LOVE IT!!!!!!

Excellent. My husband loved the fact that it was't too sweet, and the crust was a perfect combination of soft and crunchy. Thanks!

Yes the slicing of peaches was time consuming but the results were worth it. The peaches I used were under ripe so the cobbler was somewhat tart . . . Not necessarily a bad thing. Served a la mode. Thanks.

Excellent! This is among the best peach cobblers out there. The topping is fast and easy to make and much more flavorful than most cobbler toppings, with a crumbly texture that's nicely crisp on top. I sprinkled it with turbinado sugar rather than brown sugar, which worked out very well. The filling, also, was delicious, with a strong peach flavor. It was slightly more tart than I would have liked, but I think that's because of the peaches I used. The only drawback was that it was somewhat time-consuming to peel and slice all those peaches. Well worth it, though. I added a dash of nutmeg, which meshed well with the other flavors in the filling.
