The peach filling

The seasoned spices of brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and white sugar create a coating that covers these peaches prior to baking which creates a gooey, warm, delicious, and sweet peach filling to your cobbler.

Fresh or Frozen

When it comes to cobblers, there is no right or wrong way to go about it. Using just picked, freshly peeled peaches from the garden or frozen from the freezer section at the grocery store. Whichever you prefer, your cobbler will turn out amazing.

The peak season for fresh peaches is June through September. If you are baking this dessert at a time of year where peaches are not in season or available, thaw and drain frozen peaches of any liquid prior to mixing with the aromatic seasonings.

Preparing fresh peaches

Peel the skins from the peaches and cut in half. Remove the pit and then cut the peaches into about ½ inch thick slices. If you love peach skin, you can leave them on with this recipe.

The Topping

The buttery and crunchy textured topping adds the perfect balance to this summer sweet dish. Creating a delicious and buttery crumb topping out of cold butter and a flour mixture is pretty simple. During baking, the butter and sugars create a crispy crust on top of the peaches for a perfect balance of textures.

Storing Peach Cobbler

Interesting fact: According to the USDA, peach cobbler does not have to be stored in the refrigerator until 2 days after it is baked. If you know your peach cobbler will not be devoured two days after it is baked, cover your baking dish with tin foil and place it in the refrigerator for three to four days. For more convenience, cut the cobbler into smaller portions and store each portion separately.

Peach cobbler can also be frozen. Place the completely cooled cobbler in an air tight container and then into the freezer. Properly stored peach cobbler can last for two to four months in the freezer.

How to Reheat Peach Cobbler

If you are planning to reheat the cobbler from the refrigerator, there are a couple of options. Scoop a portion of the cobbler onto a microwave safe dish. Warm the cobbler in the microwave for 1 minute or until it is bubbly.

If you are choosing to reheat the entire rest of your dessert that you have stored, preheat the oven to 350°. Place the baking dish in the oven for 20 minutes until the cobbler is heated through.

A frozen pre-made peach cobbler should be placed into the oven while frozen. Heat at 400 degrees for 15 minutes then lower the temperature to 350 degrees and finish off for 20 more minutes. The result will be a warm, fragrant fresh out of the oven cobbler that your guests will think you just prepared.

Preparing tip

Peach cobbler can be frozen prior to being baked. Assemble the cobbler as you would until the final baking. Cover the dish and place it in to the freezer. When you are ready to bake, add an additional 20 mins onto your bake time to assure your cobbler is hot and bubbly through the whole dessert.

Ready to serve

Peach cobbler is best served warm. Presented fresh out of the oven, or reheated to your desires. Top this or any fruit cobbler with vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream and let the flavors melt in your mouth. This isn’t a fancy dessert, by all means, but it is sure to impress!

This dessert can be modified with your preference of fruits or berries. Adjust with the seasons or whatever you can find in the freezer section. A cobbler can be so diverse.

Fruit cobbler is a deep-dish fruit filled dessert baked with a homemade pie dough crumble topping. The variations are limitless.
