Homemade Peach Cobbler

Making a homemade peach cobbler is easier than you might think! This delicious dessert recipe is simple, ready in 40 minutes, and perfect for parties!

I like to make peach cobbler year round but it is especially delicious in late summer and early fall when the local peaches are ripe and ready to be enjoyed. I usually grab some from the farmers market whenever possible!

There’s nothing quite like the taste of a fresh peach cobbler, my homemade version is easy to tweak so you can make it to suit your needs. You can even use gluten free flour to make this recipe gluten free if needed!

What do I need to make homemade peach cobbler?

Here is what you will need to make peach cobbler. I broke it down into two sections so you can see what goes with the filling and what goes with the topping!

Filling Ingredients:

• 8 large, ripe peaches, pitted and chopped
• 1 t. kosher salt
• 2 T fresh lemon juice 
• 1 t. nutmeg
• 2 t. all-purpose flour
• 1 t. cinnamon 
• 1/3 c. white sugar
• 1 t. real vanilla extract
• ¼ c. packed brown sugar

Topping Ingredients:

• 1 c. all-purpose flour
• ¾ c. sugar, divided
• ¼ cup water
• 1 t. kosher salt 
• ¼ cup heavy cream
• 1 t. baking powder
• 8 T. unsalted butter, very well chilled
• 1 egg white, beaten with water added

Here’s how to put it all together to make peach cobbler:

1. Place the top oven rack in the center position and pre-heat oven to 400°F.
2. Add peaches, sugar, lemon juice, flour, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon and vanilla extract to a large bowl and toss to combine.
3. Transfer to a greased 8†x 8†baking pan and spread into an even layer. Sprinkle brown sugar on top of peach mixture before placing pan in pre-heated oven. Bake for 10 minutes.
4. Add flour, ½ cup sugar, salt, and baking powder to a different bowl and stir to combine. Chop chilled butter into very small pieces with a sharp knife. Add to bowl and combine with dry ingredients with your fingers until small pebble-sized pieces are formed.
5. Add heavy cream and water to the flour mixture and stir with a fork until all the dry ingredients are moist and somewhat sticky. Do not overwork dough.
6. Remove baking pan from oven and carefully spoon dough over the top, making sure the dough is the same thickness throughout. Leave spaces in between, as pictured, for a more rustic look.
7. Return to oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the topping begins to brown. Remove from oven and brush the top with the egg white wash and sprinkle remaining sugar on top. Return to oven to finish baking, another 10-15 minutes. Remove from oven when the top is golden brown.
8. Allow pan to cool slightly before serving on its own or topped with whipped cream or ice cream. Enjoy! 

What do I serve with this homemade peach cobbler recipe?

I would highly recommend some vanilla ice cream or whipped cream to serve with your homemade peach cobbler. It’s a great topping and when served warm the cool ice cream or whipped cream melts and creates the perfect dessert!
