This easy Peach Cobbler Recipe is destined to become a summer favorite. It’s delicious with vanilla ice cream!
There’s just something about a plate of warm peach cobbler topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The warm, sweet fruit and biscuit-like topping make for the perfect landing spot for a scoop of vanilla ice cream. A little bit of puddling as the cold ice cream hits the warm cobbler? Yes, please!
Americans fell for cobblers way back during colonial times. They’re easy to make and a great way to use up fresh fruit during the summer harvest season. While they may not be fancy, they are delicious. Peaches, cherries, berries, and plums all make excellent cobblers.
You will love this peach cobbler because it puts those beautiful summer peaches to good use. The peaches are mixed with a little brown sugar, but still retain all those sunny flavors. The topping is tender on the inside and just a little crisp on the outside. Plus, this dessert just has such a lovely rustic appeal! You’ll be making it on repeat this season!
Ripe Peaches: Plan Ahead!
If you’ve ever bought fresh peaches from your supermarket or a farm stand and taken them home, ready to bake a delicious cobbler, you may have been disappointed. Usually, when you buy peaches, they are rock-hard. In order to get peaches to the right state of ripening, buy them 2-3 days before making the cobbler and set them out on your counter. Once they are slightly soft to the touch, they’re ready. You’ll also want to use freestone peaches, as their pit is much easier to remove.
How Do I Store Leftovers?
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Bear in mind that it will become a little soggy after a while. Freezing is not recommended, as the texture will be affected upon thawing.
Serving Suggestions
To serve peach cobbler, Vanilla Bean Ice Cream is an excellent topper. If you’re not an ice cream person, you can top the cobbler with Homemade Whipped Cream. Peach cobbler is the perfect ending for a summertime feast: think Grilled BBQ Chicken, Grilled Corn In The Husk, and Summer Pasta Salad.
